NEW RESOURCES: ​“Still Surviving” is First Hand Account of Death Row by Juvenile Offender

In his book ​“Still Surviving,” Nanon Williams (pic­tured right), who was 17 at the time of the crime that placed him on death row, pro­vides a first hand account of liv­ing under a sen­tence of death in Texas. The book details Williams’s jour­ney from teenage boy to adult­hood while liv­ing in the shad­ow of the nation’s busiest exe­cu­tion cham­ber. His text intro­duces read­ers to the expe­ri­ences of soli­tary con­fine­ment and hav­ing friends exe­cut­ed, as well as to main­tain­ing rela­tion­ships with those on the oth­er side of the prison gate.
