Sing Sing 614 represents the # of inmates executed at this historical prison. Joe Wood (cover) was the first black man executed in 1891. Learn why his electrode was switched from his right leg to his left. Meet Gordon Hamby, deemed the handsomest man on death row. Eight-hundred women wrote not to execute him. On the day of his execution Hamby told Warden Lewis E. Lawes don't worry warden, in 24 hours I'll be back! The trouble is, not only did Hamby come back, but he also brought everyone else from Sing Sing's death house with him, including Joe Wood. This book will entertain you.
