This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Rene Denfeld Hello Tom! What a tough question that is. I think what's important is the narrator himself feels his soul is lost, and when people feel that depth of hopelessness for their own ability to be good, that is a terrible and frightening thing. I do think that when children are abused they can end up doing things they wouldn't have done if given the love, stability and guidance they needed. All children (and adults) need opportunities to succeed at being good people. There is a saying in public defense, "If someone can't be good at being good, they will be good at being bad." That's my experience, at least—life has given me enough humility to know I might always be wrong.

Nichole Balderrama asked Rene Denfeld:

QUESITION? I HAD A THEORY: Those who are named are bad while they in fact should be the ones that get forgotten. And vice versus those who are good, the lady and the fallen priest for example are unnamed and good people including the lost boy and the warden. And then I thought the narrator is unnamed too, maybe he is one of those men that doesn't deserve to be on the row but then in the end to my surprise he was name
