Before an execution, most inmates are put on death watch - ostensibly to "protect" the inmate from suicide. When the inmate is reasonably sure that he or she will die anyway - wouldn't it be easier to let them pass away on their own terms? The death watch process is invasive, resource-intensive and - I'd say - unnecessary. If inmates have a high degree of suicidal ideation, they should be treated for that - not caged like an animal under 24-hour surveillance.
Yes, suicidal inmates are a huge problem - but for the inmate, it's better to pass away on one's own terms than to suffer through the spectacle of an execution.

Because it's a judicial ceremony, and he is the special guest. He can't be allowed to ruin it by checking out early.

Yeah, the victims family has to go thru the horrific trials, seeing their loved ones body if there even is a body. Some have been tortured so bad they do not even recognize the loved one. I bet any murder victim's or family member/friend would not have wanted to be taken out by the murderer & made a spectacle of, if one had to pass, sure they wish it had been under any other circumstances.
Sick of hearing the poor poor murderer what he goes thru, which he brought on to not only himself, society & loved ones lost due to insanity.

Since you have so much knowledge about the DP in the US, you should know why the death watch. The caring, wonderful family of the murderer would sue the shyt out of the prison that allowed their so called loved one to kill themselves and not keeping said pos safe. You know this but still you persist on bringing up the same old garbage. I actually don't give one fancy fart if they kill themselves. They should have killed themselves before they murdered anyone and the world would have been better off. On their own terms. Did they think anything at all about their victim's own terms? You are such an idiot. You try your hardest to be as hurtful as possible. You know it and you love doing it.

Trying to be hurtful?
Just making themselves & their stance look stupid & loving it at the same time, is actually a good thing. Shows their azz of what they take great pride in, & who they are.

The death watch is there also because a failed suicide attempt could be enough to injure themselves which could delay their justice. Someone figured out for some reason that it is cruel to execute a sick or injured inmate. I am not because I hear the death penalty cures them of all illness for ever.
