The Last Words of Death Row Inmates

A very large percent (95+) of death row inmates expressed some sort of love or appreciation for someone else. This was often a family member or a close friend, or a chaplain. A large percentage (around 70%) expressed the desire to be forgiven by the murder victims’ family. Interestingly, in some cases, they also stated that they had forgiven the murder victims’ family and/or the government for mistreating them (that takes some stones, eh?). A vast majority also expressed religious belief, and in particular, that they believe they will going to a better, happier place.

Other common themes were activism, claims of innocence, and for a small minority, silence.
