ABOUT THIS EPISODE: This is the story of Chin Hane, Folsom Prison's first execution, on December 13, 1895. Called the "King of the Highbinders," (a Chinese hitman), Hane was found guilty of killing a Sacramento cigar merchant, but the case was filled with questionable legal tactics, blackmail, witness tampering, and conspiracies.
ABOUT THIS PODCAST: Step behind the walls of Folsom Prison where author and criminal justice professional, April Moore, delves into the haunting, yet profoundly human stories of the 93 men executed between 1895 and 1937. Join us as we explore the paradoxes of justice, taking a deeper look at the death penalty, and re-humanizing those that history might have left behind.
