Young Adult
American inmates sentenced to death as teens share their personal stories of life in prison and how they got there.
Only three countries in the world currently acknowledge sentencing people younger than eighteen to death—Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. Before 2006, the United States was also on that list.
No Choirboy takes readers inside America’s prisons and allows inmates sentenced to death as teenagers to speak for themselves. In their own voices—raw and uncensored—they talk about their lives in prison and share their thoughts and feelings about how they ended up there. Susan Kuklin also gets inside the system, exploring capital punishment itself and the intricacies and inequities of criminal justice in the United States.
This is a searing, unforgettable read, and one that could change the way we think about crime and punishment.
