摘要In certain countries, the death penalty is used to punish individual criminals or those society deems to be undesirable. However, I state all individuals are ''storied'' carrying with them complex narratives which go beyond simple labels. Thus, I state in this paper that there is a need to ''humanise'' those on death row and to bring to light an acknowledgement of their personhood. I rely on an interview conducted with a photographer who specialises in images of death-row inmates as well as research from an organisation which emphasises on the need for a ''biopsychosocial'' approach. Doing so allows us to ponder deeper questions as to the efficacy of capital punishment and whether its constant use is an indication of the failure of the state and of society to protect its most vulnerable members.
