Tessie Castillo is the co-author of Crimson Letters, Voices From Death Row, a book that she co-wrote with four men serving death sentences in North Carolina, whom she met while volunteering at North Carolina’s Central Prison in 2014.
In today's episode she wants to highlight the importance of reserving judgement and keeping an open mind in ALL situations, because you are then able to learn something new.
"Crimson Letters illuminates the complex stew of choice and circumstance that brought four men to Death Row and their search for hope and purpose behind bars. Since its publication, Castillo and her co-authors (who call in from prison) have been speaking on criminal justice issues and sharing their story with universities, faith groups, non-profits, radio shows, and podcasts, including NPR, Longform Podcast, and the Greensboro Bound criminal justice series featuring anti-death penalty advocate Sister Helen Prejean. They also host a free book club where co-authors call into virtual discussions to answer questions and converse with book club members."
