I have read on in the book "No Choirboy." I discovered that the name of the book comes from a quote by one of the interviewees who said "I ain't no choirboy." I think that it is interesting because it isn't censored or cut it's exactly what people said. It was also a different point of view to here about the crimes that were commited. It made me realize how bad it would be to be on death row. Because of this book, I think the death sentence should be abolished. First of all, if someone is dead, it's a horrible thing for their family and friends, but think of it this way. The killer probably has family and friends too. Second of all, these people are kids who were sentenced to death when they were fourteen or fifteen. They were not mature enough to realize what they did. It's not an excuse, but the punishment for an immature person should not equal the punishment of a mature person. In terms of the book I would highly recommend it. On a scale of 1 to 10 10 being the highest I would give it an 8 or a 9.
