Death Row inmate Chessman warns juvenile gangsters
San Quentin prisoner Caryl Chessman marks his eighth Independence Day on death row with a warning to youths: crime is dirty, don’t be a chump, and the lock ’em up approach won’t end crime. He urges society to erase roots of crime and calls for abolition of Death Row while detailing his seven years in a cell and ongoing execution appeals.
