Jackson, Joe; Burke, William F. Jr. Dead Run: The Untold Story of Dennis Stockton and America's Only Mass Escape from Death Row
New York; Crown; 1999; 0812932064 / 9780812932065; First Edition; Hardcover; Good; Good Jacket; 0812932064 first edition copy; ex-library with mylar cover and usual markings, some soiling to page ends, edges of boards; In June, 1983, Dennis Stockton entered Death Row in Virginia's state penitentiary, accused of a murder he insisted he had not committed. For the next 12 years he remained there, during which time he helped plan the only successful mass escape from Death Row in our history (though he ultimately decided not to join the escapees), developed a career as a writer through a diary and newspaper columns, and continually proclaimed his innocence. His explosive diary entries - published in the (Norfolk) Virginian Pilot - about life on Death Row made him a marked man among prisoners and guards alike. Despite strong evidence of his innocence, however, Stockton was executed on September 27, 1995. Dead Run is the stunning story of Dennis Stockton's life in ''the monster factory,'' his name for Death Row. Written by his editor at the Virginian Pilot and the reporter who investigated his claims of innocence, it is a riveting true-life thriller and essential reading for anyone with an opinion on the death penalty.; KB002940;
