Wrongfully convicted of murder as a teenager, Nanon Williams grew up on Texas death row in one of the most brutal of prisons in the United States. In his memoir, "Still Surviving," (2nd Edition, goodmedia press 2013) we learn of a boy growing into manhood on his own terms while in prison and his capacity for surviving violence and racism through many devastating experiences. Nanon Williams shows us the human face of people whom society has defined as monsters and reveals shocking examples of sadistic, inhumane behavior of prison guards.
