Why did you set it up?

Well, I set up Reprieve for a couple of reasons. One was that we had a number of British volunteers, young people mainly, from this country who were wanting to come out to the United States and work with us on death penalty work. At the time I was running another charity in New Orleans and during capital trials, and look we had so few resources that these young folk who would come out and work many, many long hours that would help us represent innocent people facing the death penalty. It was great. And the other reason was that I always thought that in Britain we needed more legal charities. You know for all the negative things that people say about America, there is a vibrant charitable process, where there are more legal charities, people helping folk in need in New Orleans alone than in the whole of Great Britain. So, I'm looking for us to import that to the U.K.
