What is society's responsibility for ever-increasing murders? What shall be done with the murderers? "The Last Mile" does not pretend to give an answer. Society must find its own solution. But murder on the heels of murder is *not* that solution. - Lewis E. Lawes, Warden, Sing Sing Prison, Ossining, New York

I'm asked if I should apologize for what I did. I'll let you decide.
