I chose this hashtag because that is the main theme in this book. Throughout the book is about how mercy exists in almost every aspect of life. Everybody is capable of making mistakes, and at one point or another, anyone needs mercy. Punishment and hatred are characteristic of the criminal justice system. Stevenson argued that achieving a fairer society and cultivating a morality of mercy requires individuals from all sides to become more empathetic. A close look at prisoner's lives and experiences is a prerequisite for empathy that can lead to mercy.

"Walter's case taught me that fear and anger are a threat to justice; they can infect a community, a state, or a nation and make us blind, irrational, and dangerous."(313)
