Answer 1

death row is when some one went to court and the court decided to put them to death

very rarely now do the pick death row

it takes a serious affender of the law to be put on death row

most are sentenced to life in prizon

Answer 2

May I direct you to the following books:-

"Dead Man Walking" and "The Death of Innocents" by Sister Helen Prejean

"7 Days to Live" by Nick Yarris

"Waiting to Die" by Richard Michael Rossi

"Within These Walls" by Reverend Carroll Pickett

"Death At Midnight: Confessions of an Executioner" by Donald Cabana

"The Last Face You'll Ever See" by Ivan Solotaroff

These are books by people on death row, former death row inmates, spiritual advisers to death row inmates and a warden at a prison who was in charge during two gas chamber executions, befriended an inmate and now campaigns against the death penalty.

Answer 3

My Uncle was a murderer, he's on Death Row.

It bothers me, he's kind of like an idol to me.
