05/06/2021 A common theme throughout the program. These convicts grew up with no family structure, abuse and neglect. They were drug addicts, experienced assault & molestation, and uneducated. The rich get away with it or less time ( like the drug dealer, whose family won the lottery , so they could afford a decent attorney or the son who was a drug user but his father was a judge.). I'm not excusing their criminality but I can empathize. It's easy for prosecutors and others to label these people as monsters. Unfortunately, innocent people paid the price with their lives. Tax payers pay a hefty price for death row inmates and incarceration overall. Recidivism is high. Keep these people behind bars, but implementing programs for education & enrolling them in some form of contribution to society behind bars , perhaps can help repay tax payers. (from behind bars). Example, catching these convicts early , mental health court and drug treatment court, some form of showing 'family, caring and love' within the prison system, which these convicts lacked, may also reduce recidivism. Drugs including alcohol is a huge problem. As a child, I grew up without parental guidance and abuse. Not as severe as these convicts. We moved around a lot. After awhile, people like this lose a sense of caring and just live with anger, and turn to drugs to mask the pain and loss. Very sad and so much pain for the victims. What would these convicts be like , if they had a loving family and was not on drugs? See more 01/24/2021 I binged watched this over the weekend. All documentaries on old lags have an air of voyeurism and vicarious enjoyment about them but I think they present a fair image, with a little bit emotional manipulation. It's made by Brits for the Yanks, so it's this weird hybrid of Jesus, so much Jesus, cheese and moralistic handwringing on the nature of murder and the extreme sentences handed out in the States. They present everyone's story, from everyone's side, and you decide. These people are not getting out of prison in a hurry so ignore the faux righteous anger from people moaning on here about it.

The season brings you to the edge of the seat to find out what really happened and how they were put onto Death Row. See more Read all reviews
