Summary
Twelve fascinating interviews with a California death row inmate
My Life Began on Death Row - an invitation to understand the life and character of Pete....
- Pete attended one of the last of the one-room schools, where children of all grades received instruction from a single teacher.
- Pete learned to labor young, imbibing a deeply agrarian mind frame as daily life modernized.
- He played and grew up with Native American children, learned from their fathers, and experienced day-to-day living within a Native American community.
- Later, while on death row, Pete entered into the confidence and acceptance of a Native American family and became the blood brother of Clarence Ray Allen, a.k.a. Running Bear, the last man executed by the State of California some 14 years ago.
- For more than 40 years as an incarcerated man, Pete has witnessed the California prison system's continual change and political nature.
- Pete knows the drug world having been introduced to narcotics in a war, for Pete was an active soldier in the Vietnam conflict, even during the infamous 1968 Tet Offensive.
- Pete underwent extreme and perverse abuse at the hands of his parents and violent bullying as a youth.
- Finally, Pete received a death row sentence, death row being where his life began.
