Abstract
As changing seasons give us a chance to look upon the future, far too many people in the United States are officially condemned to have their futures cut short. The most extreme of these cases are found on death row, where thousands now sit, sentenced to be executed by the state – some likely for crimes they did not even commit.

期刊介绍：
Socialism and Democracy is committed to showing the continuing relevance of socialist politics and vision. Socialism and Democracy brings together the worlds of scholarship and activism, theory and practice, to examine in depth the core issues and popular movements of our time. The perspective is broadly Marxist, encouraging not only critique of the status quo, but also informed analysis of the many different approaches to bringing about fundamental change, and seeking to integrate issues of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and nationality with the traditional focus on class. Articles reflect many disciplines; our geographical scope is global; authors include activists and independent scholars as well as academics.
