I feel like the last 24 hours for some inmates are very frightening. Because the nerves must be really bad, and the 24 hours must feel very long, especially when the inmates have no idea what the time is. One thing that makes me uncomfortable, is that inmates can be on death row for a very long time. The average time spent there is 20 years. So, you really don’t know when it is your last day, until they inform you. I do like that they can take a shower in privacy, getting some special clothes besides the prison uniforms they have been wearing for a longtime. It is nice to know that the inmate is allowed to see their family, so he/she can say goodbye for the last time. Or be able to make a list of phone numbers the inmate can call and after the calls be able to talk to the chaplain. Although the inmates can choose what way they are going to be executed in. However, that depends on the state, since not every state allows different types of execution methods. Some states like Texas abolished ‘’the last meal’’ rule, however I think it was an unwise decision because a last meal does mean a lot to some inmates. Since all they have been served in years or even decades were bad prison food. So, they should have the opportunity to make one last wish.
