Death row guards are armed are they not? If an inmate sawed through his cell bars and got out he would be gunned down like a rabbit. All i'm saying is that amount of checks are completely uneccessary. And serving breakfast at 3.30 is damn well rediculous. I think i'm gonna become a fence sitter soon. Am I reading this right? You are upset because SERIAL KILLERS are routinely disturbed from their precious dreams? Hell, at least they get friggen breakfeast. I would starve them if I could. Lauren, your forgetting that these people in prison did nothing wrong, they are just misunderstood. Now back to reality.... these prisoners asked for the constant check ups and 3:30 am breakfests...they should learn to deal.

I don't believe death row correctional officers are armed, that would seem like a huge risk. Yes Kay in san quentin they are armed with shotguns. A guard actually shot one of the inmates while a documetary was being filmed there.

CO's do not carry weapons inside a unit in Texas. The picket CO's do have weapons but that is outside on the fence line. What time would you feed them? If you fed them at anyother time then some would not get to eat or would not get necessities. We have a schedual and it works (sorry about using a word you are unfamiliar with) the inmates do not seem to mind but then they are smart enough to understand proceedures. Give them a breakfast pack the night before like they do in UK jails.

I honestly have no opinion how they spend their days. They murdered fellow human beings to get where they are. They can deal with the situation they put themselves in accoriding to the rules or the Officers will deal with them.
The more they whine and complain, the better I like it.

The only reason I support any recreation is if it helps make the correctional officers job easier. Other than that I don't care how bored they are.

Probably as long as it took you to get your brain into gear.
Andy, it wasnt so long ago that you were quite aggressive with your opinions on how an inmate on deathrow should be treated. Without mercy and other hateful remarks. You relished the fact that you would have the Chair back and made hateful and disgusting remarks about those who die in them. Now you dont, you have become more liberal and YOU are a fence sitter because you have not got a clue what you really want.
Are you lonely? and come on here to have company? just wondering because you change you mind like a woman changes her outfit before going out for the night.

Why would anyone think that a prison serving breakfast at 3:30 AM is an issue? You think these guys are being rousted out of sleep, fed breakfast, and then shooed back to bed to wait for their 7 AM wakeup call to catch a train for work?
It wouldn't matter to someone in their position if they were fed breakfast at 3:30 in the afternoon, as long as it's on a regular schedule.
Andy, your posts in here sound an awful lot like some antis who have come in here pretending to be pros. Time will tell.

All I can add to this is that there are some (not all of them) spiteful, racist SOB's on the staff at Polunsky. I empathise with those of you who feel "so what?" but it remains a fact.

Yes they are on DR however if they kill themselves the CO has to answer a lot of questions and if he/she answers one of them in a manner that the investigator does not like then they are in trouble. If they get out of their cells where are they going to go, is that what you asked? They could easily kill another inmate who is locked up, they could attack and maybe kill a CO, Nurse, Mail person, or any number of other people. I do wish you would think before you speak it would make you sound somewhat more intelligent. BTW: What if they kill themselves then evidence is given that they were indeed innocent? Death row guards are armed are they not? If an inmate sawed through his cell bars and got out he would be gunned down like a rabbit. All i'm saying is that amount of checks are completely uneccessary. And serving breakfast at 3.30 is damn well rediculous. I think i'm gonna become a fence sitter soon. They are lucky they get a breakfast at all, they made the decision to commit the crime.

No wonder people don't mind going to jail over there. Here we get some crappy bag of cornflakes, long life milk and an apple for breakfast and lunch on some days is a measly sandwich and bag of crisps. I would say that apart from the initial withdrawal, the worst part of prison life for me was the lack of food.

I've become a fence sitter because i've realised how angry and bitter being a death penalty supporter makes people. I don't want to live like that, i like to have fun and be easy going. I loved the electric chair yeah, but not because of the pain it delivered. I just think it was a good deterrent.

Hang on a minute, you just posted to Ben on another site that you cant change? so you have changed your mind aboput DR and become a fance sitter? See if you try hard enough there is even hope for wasters like you. Cant change. My ass Andy, you could change if you wanted you just cant be bothered because your too bloody lazy.
Whats that saying, when you have hit rock bottom the only way is up. you obviously have not hit rock bottom yet because your family have sudsidised you sad existence. Nice family you have, shame you have let them down so badly. How proud you must feel.

That is life you knob. Jesus Andy, why cant you put one and one together and make sense. Life is always about change, it what we call evolving. Growing into what we are not just as individuals but as a human race. You make choices and you take your own path. You just blame everyone else and wear a badge that says im proud to be a druggie, you sprout off all sorts of unsubstantiated rubbish and you wonder why you *deleted* everyone off and get abuse. Again you are making excuses. Why. Why cant you just take responsibility for what you are , own up to it and bloody well do something about it instead of acting like a loser and a dick. People then might take you seriously.

PPL spend so much time writing articles on poor Polunsky... how about a day in the life of a mother coping with the loss of her murdered child? Where the *screw* is THAT article? As sad as it is to admit, no one cares about the family of a murdered victim. No one even cares about the murdered victim. It's disgusting how people can feel sorry for POS that takes a life and destroys a family.

It's disgusting how people can feel sorry for POS that takes a life and destroys a family. I wouldn't say "no one." Sorry, I should have been more specific. My point was meant to come across that the life of the criminal is more important then that of his victim. As in most cases, allowing appeals or stays for the DP. You would see a book about the troubled life of a killer rather than that of the life of it's victim. In that way, no one cares. I know there are people out there who care about MVS and victims. This board is proof of that. However, in most cases people are more concered about the killer.

haha "feeding time". Sounds like he works in a zoo. Exactly! Once a convicted murderer enters the gates of death row, he ceases being a human being and is degraded to a rabid dog who waits for his date with the grim reaper. Plain and simple isn't it?
