Abolish the Death Penalty is a blog dedicated to...well, you know. The purpose of Abolish is to tell the personal stories of crime victims and their loved ones, people on death row and their loved ones and those activists who are working toward abolition. You may, from time to time, see news articles or press releases here, but that is not the primary mission of Abolish the Death Penalty. Our mission is to put a human face on the debate over capital punishment.

Ray Krone and the Journey of Hope
This is kind of an experiment. I've never posted a picture to the blog before, but Abe just sent this from the road in Texas. The picture is of Ray Krone, the nation's 100th death row exoneree, speaking at rally in Huntsville, Texas. You can't tell it from the picture, but the rally is in front of the Walls Unit, which is the place where Texas carries out its executions.
Some day, the place will be a museum.
Ray is part of The Journey of Hope...From Violence to Healing, sort of a walking tour that is traveling around the state educating people about the death penalty. The Journey completes its tour at the NCADP conference ten days from now.
