Summary: <p>Rev. Russ Ford witnessed 28 executions during his time as chaplain for Virginia's death row. The experience challenged his own faith--but also demonstrated the potential for spiritual growth among the most hardened criminals. Ford's new book, "Crossing The River Styx: The Memoir of a Death Row Chaplain," is a moving work of reportage. Ford and co-author Dr. Todd Peppers discuss the book with Broadcast Podcast Committee member Tom Young in the latest edition of Update-1. This podcast contains graphic descriptions of electrocution and other aspects of prison life. Listener discretion is advised.</p>
