    This depends on the individual prison in which they are housed, but I assure you that those prisoners live better than I do.

    They get free health care, free dentistry, free vision care. They get access to cable television, internet, and a library. They have many many recreational activities as well, including basketball, football, and soccer. They have free weights, treadmills, and all sorts of other exercise equipment. They get their laundry done for them. They get three, and often four, meals each day. These meals include Steak, Shrimp, various Fruits, Vegetables, and even Ice Cream. Oh, did I mention that they get to go to school for free? Yes, that's right, they can even get a college degree FOR FREE. They also have their choice of ministry services for almost every religion you can think of. They can also participate in a variety of arts and crafts.

    By the way, this isn't just death row inmates, it's ALL OF THEM.

    If you don't believe me, please arrange a visit to your nearest maximum security prison. Most will give you a tour of the prison and let you talk to inmates.
