CDS publishing intern Joel Mora recently produced an original trailer for Death Row, a documentary filmed in 1979 by Bruce Jackson and Diane Christian illustrating life on cell block J in Ellis Unit of the Texas Department of Corrections. A DVD of Death Row is included in Jackson and Christian’s new book, In This Timeless Time: Living & Dying on Death Row in America, published by the University of North Carolina Press and CDS Books of the Center for Documentary Studies. Both the film and the book reveal the world of Death Row prisoners and offer an unflinching commentary on the judicial system and the fates of the men the authors met on the Row.
