How can we state as fact that he raped Vivian Dobson if the police rejected this idea, no charges were brought and he never confessed? Where does this info come from? Leonurus 09:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
For a period of time, he wanted the death penalty and those around him fought it against his wishes. Geraldo Rivera had a show (late '80s?) discussing how he wanted the death penalty but couldn't get it. I found that somewhat curious. I couldn't find a reference to this battle in the NY Times.
He obviously had incompetent lawyers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.206.50.21 ( talk) 21:05, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Ross was repeatedly attacked by fellow inmates while in prison. They feared him and the statements of his crimes. He was stabbed several times while on death row at CCIS Somers Maximum prison. He was not a mentor, as stated here. He did not have contact with the general population as he spent his entire time in prison on death row. His cell was the last one on death row next to the door that contained the electric chair, that was last used in 1960 on Joseph "Mad Dog" Taborsky (March 23, 1924 – May 17, 1960). Taborsky was executed by electric chair at the age of 36. His execution in 1960 was the last in Connecticut (and in New England) until that of Michael Bruce Ross in 2005. Ross was incarcerated 23 hours a day. After several attacks by other inmates he was only allowed out to shower and exercise while other inmates were locked in their cells. (Michael CCIS Corrections Officer who worked on death row the years Ross was imprisoned at CCIS.)(April 4, 2020).
