...been unnecessary. But at 5:30 in the morning, I am surprised we were able to make any rational decisions. We were so tired by the time we got to our room that we noticed very little of our surroudings besides the three double beds, two of which were bunks. It was quickly decided that since the only guy in our five person group would be getting his own bed, he would have to pay the price by sleeping on the bottom bunk. He argued that if that was the case, he'd be willing to sleep with...

Although our previous room was awful, this place made it look palatial. There were two bunk double beds and two bunk single beds, with very little space for us if we all decided to stand around at once.

He's on death row at Louisiana State Prison at Angola, a former plantation turned high-security prison that was made infamous by the movie Dead Man Walking. Cousin's cell is small and stark, with cement floors, a metal sleeping bunk and a squat, steel toilet. He is locked in his cell 23 hours a day, with a one-hour break to exercise or use the telephone. Meals are pushed through a slot in the door: breakfast at 5:30 a.m., lunch at 10:30 a.m., dinner...
