My response to WTOL article on executions; JMO
Death row inmates; specifically serial predators/killers receive many benefits and perks denied the general inmate population. They are segregated from the general population in private cells with extra security, unending field trips while attending appeals, excellent medical care including rx and psychological, and frequent visitors from their defense Attorneys, FBI BAU2 and other LEAs, etc. Some even get married while on death row; Richard Ramirez; Night Stalker, while others are Wed and father offspring during conjugal visits; Ted Bundy.. Once the media lights dim on them and their heinous acts, the Governor or Pardons and Parole Board will many times commute their sentence to LWOP.
