The True Face of Death Row -- Report From Terre Haute

by Sandra Ahten

The true face of the penal system and the haunting specter of death row are being exposed during the month of June in the United States of America.

We can focus our gaze on Terre Haute, Indiana - where this morning a clear midwestern sunrise brought the first federal exectuion in 38 years. But,we could also look more widely at instances through out the country. We can start with a glance toward Florida.

Now, just how truthful this gal was is your descision. I saw her twice a week for a semester and had no reason to doubt her. There was a lady in one of my college classes from OK who worked in the building. She said the day it was bombed, the entire floor used by the government was vacant at least 15 minutes prior. Take it for what it is worth to you.
