How criminals facing the death penalty in the USA found peace

How criminals facing the death penalty in the USA found self-acceptance through Buddhism.

In the 1990s a practising Buddhist called Anna Cox began visiting a murderer called Frankie Parker in jail. After his execution by lethal injection she carried on talking to prisoners on death row in Arkansas. Anna Cox has been speaking to Ibby Caputo for Witness History.
