My First Day on Death Row by Tony Enis

I had never been to prison, and now, not only was I going to prison, I was going to death row. The home of men like John Wayne Gacy and the so-called ‘I-57 Killer,’ among others. Up until then, I had only read about such men in newspapers or saw them on television. I never, not even in my worst nightmare, thought I would be counted among them.
