Article 5
FORT LAUDERDALE, June
2007: As of
today there are eighty-nine prisoners on death row throughout the
U.S., awaiting the final conclusion of their incarceration. Things
have changed quite a bit in recent years for these inmates.
Some are allowed pen pals, and are actually online, and most
are permitted
radios, fans,
typewriters, religious and legal materials, mail, art supplies, and
books, as well as
chess and checker boards. Their lives have eased, although the
struggle goes on. In her new
book, Article 5, Isabelle Assante presents one such
prisoner’s story in all its dismal aspects.

FORT LAUDERDALE, May
2007: The
emotional stress of caring for a failing parent is not simply a
personal problem any longer, but has consequences that impact the
