Death Row

“I am an innocent woman. But I am going to die anyway.”

Waiting on death row makes every single meal feel like a final ritual. Ruby's obsession with her last dinner shows how much control she really lost.

“The walls are closing in on me. They have been for eleven years.”

Living in a tiny cell changes how you view the horizon. Small cracks in the wall become your entire world during those long years.

Trusting a lawyer is a massive gamble when your life is on the line. Ruby had to put her soul in the hands of someone she barely knew.

“I don't remember what it feels like to be touched by someone who doesn't want to hurt me.”

Memories of a normal life start to feel like fiction after a decade in prison. The smell of fresh air becomes a ghost that haunts your sleep.
