ABOUT FALLING THROUGH THE TRAP: Step behind the walls of Folsom Prison where author and criminal justice professional, April Moore, delves into the haunting, yet profoundly human stories of the 93 men executed between 1895 and 1937. Join us as we explore the paradoxes of justice, taking a deeper look at the death penalty, and re-humanizing those that history might have left behind.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The journey to this podcast essentially began in the late 1980s and eventually, to 17 years (and counting) of research into these stories. It all began with a box of mugshots, which I'll tell you all about. Also in this episode, I describe how a typical execution at Folsom was carried out.
