Margaret and Damien. Photos by Kirk Miller The people in Little Rock are friendly, alarmingly so. The politeness and hospitality here borders on invasive. Everyone is a guest in their state, and you are treated accordingly, lest you forget it. We are welcomed with questions and curious smiles. It is strange, especially coming from a […]
We are on our way to visit Damien Echols in Arkansas, where he is on death row. Working for freedom is not easy, especially in a nation that is so committed to being desperately unfree. I will update you on our progress.

However, this was booked by a friend, was in […]
get a pretty good account of prisoner abuse that doesn’t get photographed, that happens daily, most likely in correctional facilities all over – America. I asked chief correspondent, our man inside, Damien Echols, what it is like where he lives. He has a good sense of humor about his situation, but it makes it nonetheless […]
Here is a portion of the letter I got from Damien Echols today. “…for the past two weeks I’ve been writing non stop. I had started writing my memoirs several months ago, but haven’t worked on it since. I picked up my pen a couple of weeks ago and it began to flow. I’ve been […]
