Did they ever touch on the Death Row last meal thing? Only caught bits of the first ep when it was on. The second was definitely better though, much more intense.

I feel really sorry for the cats that are locked in the cells. Surely somebody should take them to give them some space and exercise?
Yes I'm not sure this is good for the cats; also something which worries me is if a couple of prisoners have an argument, then one might kill the other's cat to get revenge.:eek:
I've always felt sorry for Aileen. She never stood a chance in life from the minute she was conceived.
I've always, also wanted to know what happened to Tyler, I'd love to hear what she has got to say these days, she stitched Aileen up good and proper to save her own skin..
There is currently a woman on death row called Debra Denise Brown. She and a guy called Alton Coleman went on a killing spree back in the 80s. Coleman was executed in 2002.
I've also just checked on how many women have been executed since 1976, when the Supreme Court lifted the ban on capital punishment, 12 in total ...

1258 executions performed in the United States since 1976 - 0.9% were women.

I found this article - makes for a good read. I assume if any harm came to a cat then the prisoner would be in big trouble with the guards and fellow prisoners. In other words - a big no no.
I asked if Major Cabanaw had concerns for the safety of the cats. “Of course, we always want to ensure the safety of the cats, and the staff is great about keeping an eye out for them. But mostly, it’s the offenders keeping them safe. I have never once seen an offender kill his own cat. We screen them to be sure they have no history of animal abuse. But I’ll tell you this, there was a guy killed in here because he had spit soda pop onto someone else’s cat.”
Kris St. Martin, a corrections officer, tells me, “There was a guy here whose cat was killed a couple of years ago. The guys on the floor put out a contract on that cat killer. No one was ever able to figure out who had done it, but if they had, well, as I said, there was a contract on him…Mostly these guys are really protective of the cats and they all benefit from their presence. A cat will visit with the offenders in their neighboring cells, and it means a lot to all of them. Occasionally, we get someone who has issues with cats, so we move them out to another building.”
Agreed but fair play to him stepping up at the end and telling that man what he thought of his crimes!! I was waiting for him to get a clump.
Baer (?) is a disgusting human being. I swear he was smirking at times. Usually id put this down to nerves but after seeing his police tapes hes just a lying, raping murderer.
He didn't actually commit rape did he?
I don't think he was smirking as he acknowledged the crime he did was atrocious. Smirking would be a sign of no shame.
The justice system in the UK is a joke. If it were up to me, the death penalty would be reinstated. Some people in this thread creep me out with their responses in support of murderers, with some finishing off their comment with smiley faces. It shakes me to the core.

I agree the british justice system is a joke. If it wasn't for the possible miscarriage of justice then id be in favour of the death penalty being reinstated. You could argue that the death penalty an easy way out for criminals, but it means they can never inflict pain or terror on anyone again which IMO overrides that downside.
I'm still amazed reason the first few pages of the thread. 13 is old enough to know that murder is wrong!
IMO murder is murder, no matter what age you are, no matter what age your victim was. They may be clever, they may seem to show to show remorse, but they took another's life and for that they don't deserve their life. I found myself saying 'You should have thought of that before you killed someone' every time a prisoner was moaning.
If you were amazed at that, you should read some people opinions on pieces of scum like Jon Venables. Some people on here actually believe that him & Thompson should be able to live their live freely after serving time for killing toddler Jamie Bulger.
Imho every murderer should be given a life sentence, in the sense that they get a long enough sentence, so that they leave prison in a box. I'm just thankful that the likes of Ian Huntley will probably never get out, but is just a shame that the lame justice system has given so many lenient sentences in the past, to the likes of Baby P's killers & that nut job Tracie Andrews who should had been sectioned for life for that mental attack on her boyfriend.
Rehab my ar*e, if they kill once you can bet that they may reoffend in some form or other. Murderers should never be released if 100% guilty.
Hindley and Brady. Cost of keeping them both in prison over the years? Thousands and thousands of £££££'s. Maybe millions.
Two injections would have cost a fiver each. A piece of rope would have been even cheaper.
Even that would have been too good for them.
The only person who i "liked" was Sanford. He knew what he did was wrong and is happy to pay the price for it. Just because he seems nice does not mean he deserves to be free and like he said, he'll die in prison.
I also felt the death row inmate who trevor was talking to was strange but again, understand of what he did and how he deserves to die for it.
They didn't need to go back to the barber shop in Ep2, such a waste of air time imo.
Great show, not enough time and far from enough question and not enough of Sanford.
One thing that puzzled me, was that the program implied that a large number of the inmates were guitly of murder, but there only seemed to be about a dozen or so on death row.
In states which have the death penalty what determines whether a convicted murderer receives the death penalty rather than life imprisonment?
The guy who killed the mother and daughter had obviously done something particularly evil but it implied that the other death row inmates hadn't commmitted murders quite as bad. But presumably they were still worse than the other murderers who "only" got life in jail?

From 1903 - 1962, 39 women were executed.

He did not commit rape on this occasion but had on 2 previous occasions
Trevor McDonald was on BBC Breakfast and he said he had kept in touch with Stanford and sends him books.

Sorry you missed my point,it was a rhetorical question in reply to previous poster.:rolleyes:
