Imagine waking up one morning at the age of 18 and realizing that you have just become the youngest woman in Georgia awaiting the electric chair.

Janice was convicted of murder in 1981 in the city of Dalton, Georgia—the youngest woman sentenced to death in the state. She has spent 36 years behind bars—including ten years on Georgia's death row, and for five of those years, she was the sole prisoner. Now, after all this time, Janice may soon have the opportunity for life outside of prison.
