They also get entertainment such as TV, reading materials, and they also get free food three times a day. To me this makes no sense why is our correctional system rewarding these criminals the luxuries they do not deserve. The time period that some people spend on death row is exhausting every resource imaginable causing the process to slow down just to save there life, while they show no remorse about the life they took. I feel that there should be a dead line for an appeal so that a person that is innocent can prove there case and be acquitted of the crimes that they where charged with.
