In 2004, a judge in the United States had no hesitation in sentencing Michael Flinner to death. He described the murderer and rapist as a “classic sociopath”. Since then Flinner has had plenty of time to contemplate his execution as he waits on death row, deep inside San Quentin prison in California. And, after a lifetime of evil, he has decided he wants to do something good. With the help of his son Jonathan he has started a controversial campaign to allow prisoners to donate their organs. He wants to save lives from death row – but who would be prepared to accept the heart of a murderer?
