Q. Why do inmates sit on death row for so long?
The reason prisoners are on death row so long is that they are exhausting all of their possible appeals and requests for clemency and whatever other legal avenue they have. And the appeals process takes a long time – often many years. In many states the first appeal is automatic.

Q. How long are people on death row?
Death-row prisoners in the U.S. typically spend more than a decade awaiting execution. Some prisoners have been on death row for well over 20 years.
Q. Do they still do last meals for death row?
Contemporary restrictions in the United States. In the United States, most states give the meal a day or two before execution and use the euphemism “special meal”. Alcohol or tobacco are usually, but not always, denied. In Louisiana, the prison warden traditionally joins the condemned prisoner for the last meal.
