Capital punishment has been a source of controversy in the United States since its inception. This year, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill joined the conversation with a year-long program called "Criminal/Justice: The Death Penalty Examined." The program’s mission has been to deepen the dialogue around the death penalty by engaging students and the local community directly through the arts. Host Frank Stasio will find out if UNC succeeded from guests Reed Colver of Carolina Performing Arts; Jack Boger, Dean of UNC's School of Law; Julie Fishell, director of the stageplay "Dead Man Walking"; UNC student Carly Swain; and filmmaker Linda Booker.
