The Executed God

The Way of the Cross in Lockdown America

Author: Mark Lewis Taylor

Since 1980 the number of prisoners in the U.S. has tripled to over 2 million people, 70 percent of them people of color. Indeed, 3,600 people are on America's death rows. This growth industry currently employs 523,000 people.
Among abuses that Mark Taylor notes in this "theater of terror" are capital punishment, inordinate sentencing, violations of fairness in both process and results, racism in the justice system and prisons, prison rape and other terrorizing techniques, and paramilitary policing practices.
With 25 years of involvement with prison reform, Taylor passionately describes and explains the excesses and injustices in our corrections system and capital punishment to foster compassionate and effective Christian action. His book convincingly relates the life-engendering power of God - demonstrated in Jesus' cross and resurrection - to the potential transformation of the systems of death and imprisonment.
