Is there more to a man than the worst thing he has ever done?
In his raw and unflinching memoir, Waiting to Die: One Man’s Journey on Death Row, Feltus Taylor, Jr., a young man from Louisiana, recounts the circumstances shaped by early trauma, instability, and devastating choices that led him to violence and ultimately to Louisiana State Penitentiary’s death row. Abandoned as an infant by a drug-addicted mother in and out of prison, Taylor’s first three years of his life remain mostly unknown, but what is known reveal clear signs of neglect and abuse. He was bow-legged, had a severe developmental disability, and a speech impediment. He lived with major depression, experienced dissociative seizures, and struggled to make sense of a world that often failed to make sense of him.
Waiting to Die is not only the story of a convicted murderer; it is a rare and intimate portrait of a life, whom most would dismiss, seen in its entirety. Taylor embarks on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth through writing and spiritual healing. His words, written up to the morning of his death in 2000, reveal the quiet humanity that survives inside confinement and invite readers to sit with the life behind the sentence, challenging us to mourn the man he became just as he mourned the lives he forever harmed, even when redemption comes too late.©2026 The Feltus Taylor, Jr. Foundation (P)2026 Bloomsbury

Kritikerstimmen
Waiting To Die is a profoundly important work that bridges personal narrative with critical inquiry into the social, psychological, and ethical dimensions of capital punishment. This book offers a compelling contribution to academic and public discourse, inviting scholars, students, and practitioners alike to engage thoughtfully with issues of justice, human dignity, and systemic reform. (Roland Mitchell, Dean of LSU College of Human Sciences & Education)
