Since entering prison, Williams has written two books: his autobiography and a book that warns against gang life. He also became an ordained Christian minister — calling himself the "Arkansas Death Row Preacher" — and said he has come to terms with the terms of his punishment and his crimes.
The former gang member then shot and killed Cecil Boren — a 57-year old former warden of the Cummins Unit, where Williams died on Thursday —stole his truck, led police on a high-speed pursuit and killed another man, Michael Greenwood, in a resulting car accident. A jury sentenced Williams to death for Boren's murder.
