Torture on Death Row in Texas (teaser)

This is the beginning and the end. Of a public access TV show about prison conditions at maximum security in Polunsky Unit near Livingston, Texas. Texas. Texas, execution capital of the western world. The first few minutes set the topic, the last ten tell more.

Did you bother to follow the link to the full hour-long program?

sXeCanadianBoy, you seem to think you know a lot about Death Row in Texas and US criminal procedure, which differs regionally, particularly in the SE states of the US.

I'd suggest you educate yourself more on several topics: Texas prisons for one; for another, recent exonerations. Do you really think we've examined all the DNA evidence such as that which has resulted in releases, not only in Texas, but all across the nation?

@sXeCanadianBoy GOOD ONE! totally agree with you. Death row inmates deserve what they get & more.they sit on death row,for 15 - 20yrs.,getting fat.Ridiculous! Especially the ones that admit it and are proud of it.If anything,we (TEXAS) or USA, is not executing enough or fast enough.

@browningtx Yes, of course I watched your full-hour video. You don't think maybe you're forgetting about someone – the families of the victims! They are the ones who are REALLY suffering. As for the death row conditions, its a case of "you made your bed, now lay in it".

Death row certainly isn't meant to be fun, but its definitely not "torture". To be perfectly honest, the idea of an innocent person being executed is bullshit.

Yes, I actually do have a friend at the Stiles Unit in Beaumont.
