Autentický příběh z cely smrti. V roce 1993 byli tři teenageři odsouzeni za vraždu tří osmiletých chlapců. Damien Echols dostal trest smrti. Jeho dva kamarádi doživotí. Na základě zcela nedostatečných důkazů – vrahem měl být satanista a všichni tři obvinění nosili černé oblečení, poslouchali metal a bydleli nedaleko místa činu. Tři týdny před plánovanou popravou Damiena Echolse byli všichni tři po prozkoumání testů DNA propuštěni. Prokurátor neměl dostatek důkazů, a soud jim proto snížil tresty na dobu, kterou si už odseděli.

In 1993 three teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelley Jr. were arrested and charged with the murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. The ensuing trial was rife with inconsistencies, false testimony and superstition. Echols was accused of, among other things, practising witchcraft and satanic rituals, a result of the "satanic panic" prevalent in the media at the time. Baldwin and Miskelley were sentenced to life in prison. Echols, deemed the ringleader, was sentenced to death. He was eighteen years old. In a shocking reversal of events, all three were suddenly released in August 2011. This is Damien Echols' story in full: from abuses by prison guards and wardens, to descriptions of inmates and deplorable living conditions, to the incredible reserves of patience, spirituality, and perseverance that kept him alive and sane for nearly two decades. In these pages, Echols describes the terrors he experienced every day and his outrage toward the American justice system, and offers a firsthand account of living on Death Row in heartbreaking, agonizing detail
