Speaking Requests

Tessie Castillo and the Inside: Voices from Death Row co-authors, Michael Braxton, Lyle May, Terry Robinson and George Wilkerson, offer a truly unique event experience – the chance to converse directly with someone on Death Row.

Castillo and her co-authors speak on a range of topics, including criminal justice reform, the death penalty, restorative justice, faith, solitary confinement, life without parole, and much more. Co-authors call in from prison to engage with the audience and answer questions about what brought them to Death Row and their search for hope and purpose behind bars.

The authors of Inside: Voices from Death Row believe it is critically important to allow people  impacted by the criminal justice system to share their stories and experiences in their own words. When we see, hear and witness the humanity of people behind bars, our assumptions and stereotypes are challenged in powerful ways.
