Life on death row is not easy.  It is tough mentally as well as physically.  I never been there nor have I ever known someone there, but it is obvious that life on death row is no walk in the park to say the least.  Joe Jackson and William Burke in Dead Run retell the stories of Dennis Stockton’s diaries written while on death row.  Stockton was a prisoner awaiting his death sentence on death row at the Mecklenberg prison in Virginia.
