There Are No Guilty People: The Death Penalty, Moral Conscience, and the Illusion of Justice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781804218877)

What if Justice Isn't About Punishment-But Understanding, Mercy, and Redemption?

Tolstoy's narrative follows a man sentenced to death, but the real target is the entire system that condemns him. Through this gripping story, Tolstoy dismantles the belief that punishment equals justice, revealing how prejudice, cruelty, and error often corrupt our harshest judgments.
