Which method of execution is the most and least cruel and unusual? I think that the current widespread method, at least in the US, of lethal injection is the most sane because there is no pain involved; or so we are told. Of course hanging and beheading are out due to the simple grotesqueness of the act. Is the electric chair, which is still used on rare occasions, cruel and should it be banned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.147.44.99 ( talk) 02:58, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Let a sensiable person write this, afterall is it not 'sloppy' reasons in how these people are put to death. If we educate with a point of view for finacial or even like minded responses, we encourage and accept capital punishment. This is a crisis or, Dead man walking. Behave. Articles like these set an example, people can accurately give details in situations, where life is at stake. It seems no trouble in the calling for the punishment, shoot your mouth off, be accurate. This is no game. ONE little citation, don't you agree, forfeits and finds merit with any understanding, shrugging off capital punishment as serious or even real. What had taught you to rearrange and amend understandings, to arc light? Now, at least stream executions to reassure our safe standing. Don't be suprised if the following steriotypes are found dead after live viewing, Dweeb, Dwain, Johnson and son. BE, or at least act, RESPONSIABLE. Write this article as though you welcome capital punishment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by O2Smurf ( talk • contribs) 13:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
How about a citation backing up the bit about "dead man walking"? Or perhaps just yank it. Even if true, it is hardly one of the most important things to know about death rows. I have heard the expression all my life, but never as a ritual saying for executions. (I grew up in Huntsville, Texas, which at the time had 10,000 non-prisoner residents and the state's only electric chair.) Googling turns up many references to a book-play-movie by that name, and over a half dozen songs with the same title. The only definition I could find was here:

"Death Row" is not unique to the USA. India and Singapore use the term, for example.
Is the 'dead man eating' external link not slightly in bad taste? If you click on the right link from the main page then you'll get some information, but the 'your last meal' section seems a bit sadistic/masochistic/perverse. Just a thought.
Why do they have to wait for execution so long? Can't they just be killed after judge definitely sentences them and they don't have aby chance?
The waiting for death is the punishment, as long as people have joy in live to live for. If an person have no joy in live to live for, death is more an release then an punishment. And to who beleave in God, the criminal is sended to heaven. That is an strange habit to. I mean when you killed an few people you are rewarded with being send to heaven. In the Islam religion it is the same, when you kill unbelevers in holy jihad you will get rewarded with 37 virgins. More cruel it is for the mothers of those people, they gived those DR inmates birth, and there child is taken away from them. Even that person by it self didnt commited any crime, the mother must live with it further. But to edknowledge that polititions must place them self in the shoes of an mother to see how funny that is. The DR inmate him or her self dont realise anything any more after death. But the question is where we all must think about is: an conviction with an punishment is an way to correct people who did wrong, but what effect does an execution got in the correcting way if the person is dead?
The death penalty and execution is an strange thing that came from an barbarian time, but that doesnt got an effective correction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.72.60.108 ( talk) 07:52, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
I've just reverted a minor change de-capitalising Death Row to bring it in-line with the article title, but upon doing some research I thought I ought to bring the discussion onto the talk page. Department of Corrections sources in the United States seem to disagree on the subject. Arizona and Florida capitalise both words in prose, while Colorado, Texas [1] and North Carolina don't treat it as a proper noun. Merriam-Webster and Answers.com agree with the latter, as do various news sources, including CNN and CBS. Overall, I think consensus seems to be that it's not a proper noun, and so I propose that this page should be moved to Death row. However, I thought I ought to get an opinion or two before moving it.

hey i got to this page searching for a video game named 'Deathrow' (one word) but the byline doesn't even mention that game, so I have to specifically type in 'Deathrow (game)' to get to the page. i don't know how to add such a byline (for example the "For information about the Record company see Death Row Records" line) so could someone maybe do that? Something like 'For information on the video game, see Deathrow'. thanks :)

Gary Eldon Alvord arrived on death row in Florida on April 9, 1974, so before Alderman was received on death row. And Alvord is there still, as of my posting here. Alvord is the longest-serving US death row inmate ever and he is still alive... .

Is not in Warm Springs, that's the mental hospital.
They are supposed to be housed in Billings and flown to Deer Lodge within a week of a set date.

In fact Montana doesn't even have a male "Death Row" persay, they are housed just like any other max security inmates until they are ready to be taken to the death chamber.

How are these states listed? They are not in alphabetical order. Are they listed in any order of significance ... or are they just listed in a random order? If it is a random order, shouldn't we alphabetize the list of states? Thoughts? Thanks. ( Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 05:43, 21 April 2009 (UTC))
All the pictures are of male death rows, and all non-specified pronouns are male. I thought women also had a 'Death row'
I wish this article would explain WHY "Death row...is...often a [separate] section of a prison". Why should Death row inmates live apart from the general prison population?
Are Death row inmates separated from the general prison population 24 hours a day? Are only their cells separate and maybe they eat and exercise with the general population?
Which rules in a prison are different for Death row inmates and general-population inmates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.113.34.74 ( talk) 08:34, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
The term "Death Row" is not a general one applicable to Anglophone Countries but is an American one. I the UK when Capital Punishment, the terminology for where the condemned were kept was "Condemned Cell". The concept of a "Row" I suppose is based on the American tradition of prisons where there is a tradition of rows of cells that are open fronted, (with bars), rather than the UK tradition of tells with 4 walls and a proper door in it. So consideration should be given that the article should be re-written with a USA focus, removing for the most part references to Commonwealth countries.
I have started to redefine this article as "Death row in the United States". I do not see the point of trying to have a worldwide view and have noted that the US is the only Western country that still applies the death penalty. I had added content to show more issues among the states, as well as the number of people who have been exonerated - declared innocent and freed. This provides some context.

According to ( https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/discrimination/lgbt-rights/) there are a total of seventy countries that believe same sex relations is a terrible crime and in nine countries you can be excused because of this, two of those countries are Iran and Saudi Arabia. According to ( http://internap.hrw.org/features/features/lgbt_laws/) there are a lot of countries that only punish sexual relations between men but since the year of 1986 there have been about ten countries that established laws to punish same sex relations with women as well.
