In January 1983 Burt Folsom read a story in Time about Mitch Rutledge, a guy on death row with an IQ of 84 who said he was sorry for what he did. "Forget him", the last line of the story read. But Burt wrote Mitch a notice and discovered a guy more interesting and smart than this article exposed. Burt and his wife, Anita, started out a companionship with Mitch and found him turn into a leader and role model for others in jail, teaching himself to read and write (you start with copying down the spelling of items he realized from TV advertisements) and learning to be a countrywide spokesman on jail life. Death on Carry is the amazing story of their companionship and of grace, reconciliation, and redemption for a guy without hope who was simply given a future.
