Chelsea Fuller asks us to think critically about our criminal justice and mass incarceration systems and the people spending their lives in prison on death row and those being executed. What role does systemic oppression play in this? What is justice? And what does justice really look like for the most vulnerable people in society? Who actually gets justice, mercy and forgiveness?
