Life and Death Matters

Baldwin works in a two-part prison ministry: in one part, he visits with inmates on a personal level; in the other part, he teaches and preaches to people on the outside about the myths and misconceptions about prisons and criminal justice. He is especially focused on the death penalty. His life changed when he discovered that his previous racial attitudes and beliefs about issues such as capital punishment were indefensible. The more he learned, the more Baldwin felt compelled to act.
