The United States executes more people than nearly any other country. In fact, in 2023, the only countries with more reported executions were Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Iraq. Inside the United States, courts are trying to navigate the legality of execution and methods of execution, and the various states have different rules and customs of this barbaric practice. Gianna Toboni has faced some of the world's most dangerous people: ISIS fighters, cartel hitmen, and sex traffickers. In her new book --- THE VOLUNTEER: The Failure of the Death Penalty in America and One Inmate's Quest to Die with Dignity -- Gianna dives into her most intense year yet—covering the life of a death row inmate, all while uncovering the shocking, dirty truths about our criminal justice system. And it should be noted that this episode contains frank discussions of both capital punishment and suicidality.

 Our guest today is Gianna Toboni, an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker whose new book “The Volunteer” is the unusual story of a Death Row inmate. In 2007, Scott Dozier was convicted of a pair of grisly murders, and sent to Nevada's Death Row.  Rather than fighting that sentence, Dozier sought to expedite his execution.  But despite his willingness to submit to the sentence, Dozier's death date was delayed and stayed over and over.  Toboni examines why the state didn't follow through on its own decision, and how America's system of capital punishment is rife with black market dealings, disputed drugs, and botched executions – all at a cost of billions of dollars.  Toboni argues that the system is failing those it intends to serve, including death penalty supporters and opponents.  On March 26, 2025, Gianna Toboni came to the KQED studios in San Francisco to talk with Lara Bazelon, an author and professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law. 

Should death row prisoners have the right to demand to be executed? In her debut book The Volunteer, Bay Area journalist Gianna Toboni exposes the absurd bureaucratization of the American death penalty system through the story of Scott Dozier, a death row inmate who volunteered for execution. Convicted of two murders on circumstantial evidence, Dozier preferred death to living 22-24 hours daily in a cell. Despite his and the state's shared goal of execution, bureaucratic delays and legal challenges prevented it. Toboni describes how extended solitary confinement undermined Dozier's mental health, eventually leading to his suicide, which she suggests was effectively state-induced. Toboni questions whether Americans truly understand the monstrously inefficient system they fund, where death sentences cost ten times more than life imprisonment yet only 15% of death row inmates are actually executed.FIVE TAKEAWAYS IN THIS CONVERSATION WITH TOBONI* The death penalty system is dysfunctional: Despite sentencing people to death, states like Nevada rarely carry out executions (the last one in Nevada was in 2006), creating a system where people are sentenced but left in limbo—only about 15% of death row inmates are ever executed.* Solitary confinement conditions are severe: Dozier was kept in conditions Toboni describes as "psychological torture"—up to 24 hours a day in a small cell, without human contact, reading materials, or other stimulation, which severely deteriorated his mental health.* Death row inmates face higher suicide rates: The suicide rate on death row is approximately 10 times higher than in general prison population, suggesting the conditions push many to take their own lives rather than continue living in those circumstances.* The financial argument is compelling: Death penalty cases cost approximately 10 times more than life imprisonment cases, yet most sentences are never carried out, raising questions about resource allocation.* Humanizing the condemned complicates perspectives: Toboni's experience showed how meeting death row inmates and understanding their full life stories—not just their crimes—can complicate black-and-white views on capital punishment, even for those who oppose it on principle.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In this book, Gianna tells the story of Scott Dozier. He was on death row in Nevada for two separate homicide convictions, but despite him volunteering to be executed, forces both inside and outside of the prison prevented the state from executing him. Ultimately, Dozier took his own life after a few weeks on a mental health, solitary confinement hold. How did this all happen and what can we learn about the death penalty in America? All those questions and more in today's episode.   Guest Gianna Toboni, Documentarian, Investigative Journalist, Author of The Volunteer   Resources:   Pick up a Copy of the Book Here https://www.simonandschuster.biz/search/books/Author-Gianna-Toboni/Category-Law/_/N-1z0v8eyZh3kZm2st/Ne-pgt?options[sort]=BOOK_ORDER%7C0%7C%7CTITLE%7C0 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-volunteer-gianna-toboni/1145681921 Follow Gianna On Socials https://bsky.app/profile/giannatoboni.bsky.social https://www.instagram.com/giannatoboni/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/gianna-toboni-970174272/ https://x.com/GiannaToboni?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Gianna's Work at Vice (Including Interview's with Dozier) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw613M86o5o6ig6LRdAL5W_w7w1k_UeQ5     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

The Volunteer: The Failure of the Death Penalty in America and One Inmate's Quest to Die with Dignity by Gianna Toboni Amazon.com A riveting account of one death row inmate's quest to die—and a fearless look at how America's system of punishment has failed the public it claims to serve. When Scott Dozier was sent to Nevada's death row in 2007, convicted of a pair of grisly murders, he didn't cry foul or embark upon a protracted innocence campaign. He sought instead to expedite his execution—to hasten his inevitable death. He decided he would rather face his end swiftly than die slowly in solitary confinement. In volunteering for execution, Dozier may have been unusual. But in the tortuous events that led his death date to be scheduled and rescheduled, planned and then stayed, his time on death row was anything but. In The Volunteer, Emmy award–winning investigative reporter Gianna Toboni traces the twists and turns of Dozier's story, along the way offering a hard look at the history and controversy that surround the death penalty today. Toboni reveals it to be a system rife with black market dealings and supply chain labyrinths, with disputed drugs and botched executions. Today's death penalty, generally carried out through lethal injection, has proven so cumbersome, ineffective, and potentially harrowing that some states have considered a return to the electric chairs and firing squads of the past, believing those approaches to be not only more effective but more humane. No matter where you stand on the morality of capital punishment, there's no denying that the death penalty is failing the American public. With costs running into the billions and countless lives kept in limbo, it has proven incapable of achieving its desired end: executing the inmates that fellow Americans have deemed guilty of the most heinous crimes. With The Volunteer, Toboni offers an insightful and profound look at how the death penalty went so terribly wrong. A spellbinding story down to its shocking conclusion, it brings to light the horrifying realities of state-sanctioned killings—realities that many would prefer to ignore.

The Failure of the Death PenaltyJoin investigative journalist Gianna Toboni as she discusses her new book, 'The Volunteer, the Failure of the Death Penalty in America, and One Inmate's Quest to Die with Dignity.' Through her extensive research and interviews with death row inmates, Toboni exposes the systemic flaws of the death penalty in the United States.She shares her experiences interviewing inmates like Scott Dozier, who was sentenced to death and then urged the state to get it done, and examines the broader implications of a broken justice system. The episode also touches upon the racial biases, the ethical concerns surrounding execution methods, and the personal journey of Toboni as she navigates her role as a journalist and a human being.

Eleven year-old Kai Shappley has had a tough time just being a kid. Her whole life, the state of Texas, where she lives, has been policing what bathrooms she can use, what name she can go by—and a myriad of other basic personal freedoms afforded to kids who are not transgender, like Kai. Last April, a new directive from Texas Governor Greg Abbott asserts that gender-affirming care provided to minors is tantamount to child abuse. And now Kai—and countless other trans kids in Texas—is in danger of being taken from her family. For the past six years, VICE News correspondent Gianna Toboni has been spending time in Texas with Kai and her mother, Kimberly Shappley, documenting the family as they weave in and out of the state's crosshairs.
