Sentence Ten Years And Thousand In Prison is Anthony's story of survival, hope, and redemption. It is a powerful indictment of the death penalty and a testament to the human spirit.

Anthony's story begins in Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1970s. He was a young black man living in a segregated society. He was often stopped by the police for no reason, and he was frequently harassed. In 1985, he was arrested for the murders of two white men. The evidence against him was weak, but he was convicted and sentenced to death.

Anthony spent the next 30 years on death row. He lived in a small cell with no windows. He was allowed out of his cell for only one hour each day. He was constantly under the threat of execution. But through it all, he never gave up hope.

Anthony read books, wrote poetry, and exercised. He became a mentor to other inmates. He refused to let his circumstances define him. He kept his faith in God, and he believed that one day he would be exonerated.

In 2015, Anthony's prayers were finally answered. The Alabama Supreme Court overturned his conviction, and he was released from prison. He was 58 years old.

Since his release, Anthony has become a vocal advocate for the abolition of the death penalty. He has spoken out against the racial bias in the criminal justice system. He has also shared his story of hope and redemption with audiences around the world.

Sentence Ten Years And Thousand In Prison is a powerful and moving account of one man's journey from prison to redemption. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever been touched by the criminal justice system.
