True Murder with your host journalist and author Dan Zufansky.

Good evening.

From 1895 to 1937, 93 men were hanged at California's Folsom State Prison.

And this book is the first to tell all of their stories, recounting long forgotten tales

of murder and swift justice, or sometimes swift injustice that hanged an innocent man.

Based on a treasury of historical information that has been hidden from the public for nearly

70 years, the full stories of these 93 executed men are presented in this collection, including

their origins, their crimes, the investigations that brought them to justice, their trials,

and their deaths at the gallows.

This wealth of previously unpublished historical detail gives a vivid view of the sociology

of early 20th century crime and of the resulting prison life.

Readers take a trip back in time to the hard-boiled early 20th century California that inspired

the novels of Dashiell, Hammett, and countless other crime writers.

Illustrated throughout with authentic and haunting prison photographs of each of the

condemned men, the crimes and punishments of a vanished era are brought into a sharp

and realistic light.

The book that we're featuring this evening is Folsom's 93, The Life and Crimes of Folsom

Prisms Executed Men, with my special guest journalist and author, April Moore.
