He also added, “I do think it will help have an easier time doing their jobs.” His resourcefulness led to the first death row book club. “A book club will help things stay more peaceful,” he told the warden, pointing out that reading books would be a good way for the men to quietly spend time and focus on something other than the negative aspects of life on death row. Hinton eased racial grudges and grievances by aiding KKK and African American inmates alike.
