Deathrow (game)The Death row is a term which refers to the section of a
prison that houses individuals awaiting
execution.After individuals are found guilty of an offense and sentenced to execution, they will remain on Death Row while following an
appeals procedure, if they so choose, and then until there is a convenient time for execution. Due to the lengthy, expensive and time consuming appeals procedure that must be followed in the US before an execution can be carried out, prisoners may wait years before execution; nearly a quarter of deaths on Death Row in the US are in fact of
natural causes.
