Oh man, what’s my dad going to tell me horror stories about now? He used to talk about how the execution date was kept secret from the prisoners until the morning of, emphasizing how stressful it would be to know that death is coming, but not knowing when and being powerless to stop it. It did deflate his “righteous anger” when I pointed out that that’s the human condition. I’m not supporting the death penalty at all, but that’s not in the top ten reasons it’s fucked up imo
