Kenneth Foster is a prisoner in Texas. Despite the fact that he wasn’t convicted of being responsible for a murder—only of being present—he was sent to death row in 1996 and came within three hours of execution 11 years later before his sentence was commuted. Both before and after this victory, Kenneth was an outspoken activist and writer, not only on his own behalf, but against the criminal justice system as a whole.

Here, he compares the stories of torture and repression during the U.S. “war on terror” described in Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine with his own experiences in Texas prisons.

Rather, a coalition of Kenneth’s family and anti-death penalty organizers left him with no other choice.
