In this gripping episode of Voiceless Behind Bars, host Sarah delves into the world of activism and personal tragedy with her first in-person interview featuring Dr. Chris Brown. Dr. Brown, an esteemed activist, opens up about his journey, catalyzed by the execution of his father, Gary Brown, in Alabama in 2003.

The conversation unfolds against the backdrop of recent botched executions, notably Kenneth Smith's harrowing ordeal in 2022, where attempts to administer lethal injection failed, leading to a torturous alternative method involving a mask and nitrogen gas. Sarah and Dr. Brown discuss the haunting realities of such executions and the urgent need for reform.

Their connection was forged through mutual involvement with Death Penalty Action, an organization committed to abolishing the death penalty while honoring victims and their families.

Sarah highlights the pivotal role of Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty, an organization dedicated to advocating for prisoners' rights and abolishing state-sanctioned killing in Alabama.

During the interview, Dr. Brown shares insights from his book, "Child of Grace: A Death Row Story," offering a poignant narrative that illuminates the human cost of capital punishment.

Listeners are encouraged to engage with Death Penalty Action and support its mission to advocate for systemic change and justice.
