In 2009, Raul Cortez was sentenced to death by lethal injection for the 2004 "McKinney Murders." From his claustrophobic death row cell, he authored this book on an old-fashioned typewriter. Without censorship, he takes the readers through the madness of being locked up in the house of death. "Rescued and Restored" not only provides a rare glimpse into life on death row, but it also captures Raul s struggle to find hope and purpose amid addiction, depression, and the executions of his friends.
"Rescued and Restored" is introduced by S ren Roest Korsgaard who has, with characteristic absence of political correctness, written a shocking foreword that exposes capital punishment for what it is: inhuman, anti-scientific, and morally corrosive. S ren also documents with scientific evidence and plenty of examples that judicial murders take place on an unprecedented scale.
