Joe Ingle, death row prisoner advocate, will discuss his new book, "Too Close to the Flame: With the Condemned Inside the Southern Killing Machine," with retired attorney Keith Simmons at Nashville's Parnassus Books on May 6 at 6:30 p.m. CDT. As an advocate for men and women condemned to death, Ingle says he has seen an unjust legal system that routinely victimizes the marginalized. He has often found himself waiting through the darkest hours as the spiritual advisor and sole companion of those on deathwatch — the brief period of isolation that precedes an execution. The event is free but registration is required.
