PRAISE AND REVIEWS

"Scott Langley is an excellent speaker and photographer, and his talk stimulated important discussion on our campus. He is exactly the type of speaker colleges should be bringing in.”  ~ Dean at the University of North Carolina

"As I watched students realize what they were seeing in Scott's photographs, I understood we had made a difference in their thinking about the death penalty. They were struggling with the ironies, the pain, and the possibility of errors. They were quiet and reflective. This is all we can ask. I am really grateful to Scott for offering our campus and community a way to "see" what we had been reading and writing about."  ~ Dean at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO

“That evening was more important than any other experience I've had at Harvard in my three years here, including my very best course. This is what I came here to learn."  ~ Harvard University student

"Thank you for sharing your powerful photos, Scott. Your documenting of the death penalty at work in our country over the years has been, and continues to be, so important."  ~ Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking

"I was at the CADP event last night with my husband and our children to support my [award receiving] father-in-law. I have to tell you that although my father-in-law is pro-life all the way, we definitely had a difference of opinion on the [death penalty] subject... until last night when your photos really spoke to me. My husband and I spoke about the amazing ability to capture an image that truly is worth a thousand words. Your work is amazing, and most definitely changed my stance on the death penalty."  ~ Murder victim family relative, Denver, CO

“Scott, just wanted to thank you for coming to RIC this week. I’ve gotten such great feedback. One student just left my office (she is planning on becoming a cop) and said this completely changed her view on the death penalty. She is now opposed!”  ~ Professor at Rhode Island College

“… Extraordinarily compelling… A moving exhibit.”  ~ Chaplain of Harvard Divinity School

"Your presentation was riveting and as powerful as any that I’ve seen and heard on the death penalty during all the years that I’ve been involved in that work. It would have been powerful even without the images, but they are spectacular."  ~ Retired death penalty lawyer in New Jersey

“… Compelling and such an important element of the death penalty debate.”  ~ Dept. Chair of Dramatic Media, Texas Lutheran University

"Thanks again for coming to my class - all the girls said you were the best guest speaker they had all year. Almost every student you saw yesterday has come up to me gushing about class yesterday. They thought it was very powerful, as did I."  ~ New York City high school teacher

“Your presentation is heart wrenching.  Thank you for devoting a good portion of your life to exposing the hidden brutality of the death penalty. Most of us tend to ignore the wrongfulness and urgency of abolishing what we have not seen up close.  So now many of us have seen.”  ~ Founder of Redwing Blackbird Theater, Rosendale, NY

"Students, faculty, and principal were touched, angered, and informed by Mr. Langley's presentation. Scott's personal connections with the issue of capital punishment, and his wealth of knowledge, came together for one of the most meaningful and moving assemblies we had all year."  ~ Massachusetts high school teacher

"The death penalty remains the most basic of all human rights violations. Scott Langley's photographs are a dramatic reminder of how much work the USA has to accomplish before it can rightfully assume its place in the community of nations seeking to adhere to international norms in the defense of human rights."  ~ Human Rights Department Chair, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX

“Your photos are accessible to people in real ways & helped to move the class emotionally, another way to reach people.”  ~ Social work professor at Boston University

"Statistics about an injustice can only do so much. Scott Langley's presentation brings light to the crushing reality of capital punishment in our country. His work restores the humanity of those written off by so many."  ~ New York City high school teacher

"Thank you for all you do – your work is extremely powerful. I just saw footage of your photographs being viewed and your talk on the panel. You are a star in a very critical movement."  ~ Dean at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO

"Scott, I just visited your website and I must say that your photos and their accompanying captions are some of the most moving photographs I've seen. They enabled me to see even more clearly how nonsensical and brutal death penalty is."  ~ Student at the International School of Bangkok
