THE
FINAL ESCAPE
Death
Row Inmate Chronicles Life Experience in New Autobiography
In
The Final Escape
(now available through AuthorHouse),
death row inmate David Paul Hammer chronicles the events of his
life-gone-wrong in a direct and brutal way.
It is the story of a man who can be as cruel as he is kind.
The Final
Escape is the complex story of a man who has been incarcerated
for the last 28 years, with the exception of two brief periods in
October 1981 and October 1983 when he was on the “outside” as an
escapee, which earned him the label of “Public Enemy Number One” in
the state of Oklahoma.
Hammer bares his life for all to see with vivid clarity and poignancy as
he details the physical and sexual abuse he suffered as a child and his
later experiences as a notorious con man, prisoner and murderer.
As readers wrestle with the painful truths of Hammer’s life,
they quickly realize he accepts full responsibility for his actions and
the pain he has inflicted on others.
Hammer’s knack for storytelling transfixes readers with embarrassingly
funny tales of outwitting his captors, of living a life behind bars and
waiting to die on death row. He
“reveals the sincere spiritual conversion which has altered his
existence” and affected others in a positive way, as well.
Hammer, age 45, was placed on death row after being convicted of the
murder of a fellow prisoner. He
spends his time attempting to make amends where possible and fighting
child abuse. He is the
co-founder of a Christmas card project that has raised thousands of
dollars for children at risk. He
is also involved with other social justice issues.
He has continued his education at his own expense during the
years of his incarceration. He
is the co-author of the book, Secrets
Worth Dying For: Timothy James McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing
(also available through AuthorHouse).
Proceeds from the sale of Hammer’s books will go to various
charities to help prevent child abuse.
