Outside the Walls: Voices of Protest at a Texas Execution

Outside the Walls: Voices of Protest at a Texas Execution

As the state of Texas prepared to execute Ramiro Gonzales on June 26, 2024, we took a journey to Huntsville to explore who gathers outside the prison walls during these moments—and why.

In this episode of Death Row Stories, we bring you the voices of those who stood outside the Texas State Penitentiary that night. From members of the Texas Abolition Against the Death Penalty to religious leaders and concerned citizens, they share their thoughts on justice, forgiveness, the role of the state, and the impact of the death penalty on the convicted, their families, and the victims' families.

Why Listen: This episode offers a unique, on-the-ground perspective of an execution night in Texas, capturing the emotions, stories, and convictions of those who believe their presence matters.
