 Jim Willett worked in Texas prisons for 30 years. He saw first-hand the Carrasco hostage crisis, the longest prison siege in the history of the United States. He worked as an internal-affairs investigator, earning the resentment of his colleagues as he asked questions about guards' abuse of prisoners. And he watched the crowds gather when Texas reinstated the death penalty.

Willett is now director of the Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, Texas. He narrated the radio documentary "Witness to an Execution," which aired on NPR's Morning Edition and won a Peabody Award in 2000.
