We Who Are About to Die; Prison as Seen By a Condemned Man by David Lamson
Requirements: .PDF reader, 26.7 MB
Overview: David Lamson was not the usual sort of resident of San Quentin Prison's death row. He was college educated and from a middle-class family. His sister was a prominent physician in Palo Alto, California. He had lived on the Stanford University campus, played regular bridge with members of the Hoover family, and been employed as sales manager for the Stanford University Press. Then he has discovered the gory body of his wife Allene, the back of her head smashed, in the bathroom of their small house on Salvaterra Street on Memorial Day 1933. Lamson became the only suspect of the Santa Clara Country Police. He was tried and convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death by hanging at San Quentin.

When the verdict on Lamson was overturned by the California Supreme Court some thirteen month later, he was released and never retried for his wife's death, which Lamson had maintained all along had been either accidental, caused by a fall in the tub, or else the work of a prowler. Free of his confinement in prison, Lamson was uneployed and the father of a two-year-old daughter. During the next couple of years he wrote and published We Who Are About to Die, a memoir of simplicity and orginalty about his time on death row which remains one of the strongest first-person prison books I have ever read.
