Half an hour to die in the city of executions.

The article describes the journey of the author and LeJames Norman to Huntsville, Texas, where Norman is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection. The author outlines their daily routine, including dropping off children at school and preparing for the trip, while highlighting the personal challenges faced by immigrants. The narrative contrasts the author’s journey with Norman’s, who travels under strict security measures to the death chamber at the Walls Unit prison. The piece reflects on the economic reliance of Huntsville on its prison system, noting that many residents work in or are connected to prisons, which contributes to the city’s economy. It also subtly addresses racial issues, referring to Norman as 'un altro nero' ('another black man') and implying systemic injustice.
