I follow all the executions that go on and research all of the back stories of the death row inmates. I imagine myself being strapped down in a gurney, saying my goodbyes, and having my last meal before being put down and going to the other side. I also relate to the living situations of the death row inmates. The extreme isolation and deprivation that they endure in their cells. The limited human contact they receive. I relate to anybody who's innocent on death row since even though neither of us did anything wrong we are both below scum to the rest of society and have had our lives ruined by it. Anybody relate?

I was just thinking about death row inmates. Sometimes I wish I could just be executed, instead of having to do it myself.

i don't even know what to believe anymore. i no longer believe crime and punishment is objectively right. i don't think anyone deserves this much suffering no matter what they've done
same finally somebody relatable. I like the idea of having a date and last meal and how painless it seems (it isnt)

I like the idea of having a set date too, I have one for myself and I plan to hang myself on it. I'm wondering what I want my final meal to be before I do it, I'm thinking a slice of pie or something. What would you choose?
I want an extravagant last meal like Burritos, Pizza, In n out, Fried chicken with mac n cheese from chick fil a or popeyes, soda, edibles, energy drinks, desserts, indian food, chips literally bloatmaxx as much as I can before I go.
I also like comparing the appeals to my attempts at making my life better. Every time I do something and it doesn't really help it's equal to when a death row inmates gets an appeal denied.

That's definitely the way to go hahah.
That's very relatable too. I tried so many times to appeal, but still my execution date approaches.
Same. I'm still trying to appeal but I already have a date set in mind. Sometimes I just want to get it over with but I'm not settled yet.

Yes, I imagined this before. Lethal injection sounds so peaceful. It's like an official way to die. You don't have to go out of your way, the law will do it for you. It's also the perfect way to die, because it's painless and you lose consciousness quickly. You probably die faster than drinking sn.

I always wondered like, what if I could just sit down with any one of those inmates in a nicely furnished room,.maybe a nice meal,.music playing, all dressed in comfortable clothes, and if I could just hear what those inmates had to say, whatever they wanted to say, they could speak freely and I would hear them out and just listen..what would they say? Would they cry? Would they get angry? Would they beg for forgiveness or make threats?
Or would they tell a totally different story, like something that no one has ever heard before that very moment before they were about to die, all because someone finally treated them with respect and gave them a proper chance to, not just speak freely, but FEEL like they CAN speak freely. What would they say?

It's maybe not entirely fair but, I've found myself envying them- if I'm honest. Not that it's a great solution anyway. As you pointed out, our justice systems are hardly infallible. It's actually horrific to think innocent people are either jailed or executed.
Let's say they're guilty though. They're a serial killer or serial sex offender or child molestor. Then- no- I don't have much sympathy. In fact- I look at them after literally torchuring people sometimes- being led off to be humanely euthanized. And- I think of all the entirely innocent people suffering with chronic and terminal illness- literally begging for a humane release and- they get denied. Plus- their victims. They put them and their families through a literal hell sometimes. How well should they be treated after doing that?
That's not to say I think people who offend should be sadistically punished. Anything needs to be clinical and professional but, it's messed up that ordinary and good people don't get the right to be able to leave humanely too.
Plus- of course they're put in isolation if they are violent towards others! Why should staff or other inmates have to fear everyday for their own safety? Axel Rudakubana- who was convicted of stabbing to death 3 children and attempting to kill 10 others threw boiling water over prison officers. They are known to mix sugar into boiling water in their kettles (prison napalm they call it) to attack others with. But- people will insist it's their human right to have a hot drink. I think those same people should work in the prisons. See how quickly they change their mind after getting a face full of sticky boiling water.
That's not to say they are all like that of course. It's not to say that reform never works. I don't actually know enough about it. But then, some people are genuinely dangerous- surely? Whether it's their fault or not- they are. They shouldn't necessarily be treated badly but then- what kind of deterrent is it to others who may be tempted to act in the same way- if they are pampered?
I think it would depend on the person. Some may be very receptive to being treated kindly- finally and, genuinely reform. Others may be going along with it because it would look good on a parole board. Others may see it as weakness and ungenuine and trample all over it.
I'm sure some people are genuine. Others are manipulative though. They'll play the game, make the right impression to get out and then possibly reoffend. I'm sure that happens.
I wouldn't assume the softly, softly approach always works though. Would you actually want to work for a organisation that (prsssumably) dissuades you from reporting assaults- including sexual assaults? Presumably because they were worried it would tarnish their image:

Years spent rotting in prison seems worse than the death penalty, especially if it's by lethal injection.
