Reviews
"A gripping and deeply researched account of one of the most troubling and controversial issues of our time. Toboni writes with clarity, compassion, and a moral honesty that force the reader to confront the psychological turmoil faced by her subject and the systemic failures that underpin the death penalty. A deeply poignant story about morality, justice, and the human cost of a flawed system." --Clarissa Ward, CNN chief international correspondent and author of On All Fronts, "The death penalty has proven itself cruel, inequitable, and inconsistent with basic human values. With The Volunteer , Gianna Toboni offers an absorbing, essential, and deeply investigated look at a shameful and dysfunctional system. Through Scott Dozier's story, she shows us how even those who've been convicted of violent acts deserve our humanity." --Sister Helen Prejean, New York Times bestselling author of Dead Man Walking
Synopsis
A riveting account of one inmate's quest to die on death row--and a fearless look at a system of punishment that has failed the public it claims to serve. When Scott Dozier was sent to Nevada's death row in 2007, convicted of a pair of grisly murders, he didn't cry foul or embark upon a protracted innocence campaign. He sought instead to expedite his execution--to hasten his inevitable death. He decided he would rather face his end swiftly than die slowly in solitary confinement. In volunteering for execution, Dozier may have been unusual. But in the tortuous events that led his death date to be scheduled and rescheduled, planned and then stayed, his time on death row was anything but. In The Volunteer , Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter Gianna Toboni traces the twists and turns of Dozier's story, along the way offering a hard look at the history and controversy that surround the death penalty today. Toboni reveals it to be a system rife with black market dealings and supply chain labyrinths, with disputed drugs and botched executions. Today's death penalty, generally carried out through lethal injection, has proven so cumbersome, ineffective, and potentially harrowing that some states have considered a return to the electric chairs and firing squads of the past, believing those approaches to be not only more effective but more humane. No matter where you stand on the morality of capital punishment, there's no denying that the death penalty is failing the American public. With costs running into the billions and countless lives kept in limbo, it has proven incapable of achieving its desired end: executing the inmates that fellow Americans have deemed guilty of the most heinous crimes. With The Volunteer , Toboni offers an insightful and profound look at how the death penalty went so terribly wrong. A spellbinding story down to its shocking conclusion, it brings to light the horrifying realities of state-sanctioned killings--realities that many would prefer to ignore.
