Death row意思

"Death row" is a term used in the United States to refer to the section of a prison where inmates condemned to death are held prior to their executions. These inmates have been sentenced to death by a court of law for committing capital crimes, such as murder, and are awaiting their executions, which can be carried out by various methods such as lethal injection, electrocution, hanging, or firing squad, depending on the state's laws.

The conditions on death row can vary by state, but inmates typically have limited access to visitors, are under constant surveillance, and have strict regulations regarding their daily activities. The time between being placed on death row and the actual execution can vary widely, sometimes taking many years as inmates go through the appeals process, which is designed to ensure that every death row inmate has the opportunity to challenge their conviction or sentence.
