When I was a child, I saw a TV show called the Last Mile. I think this is the show I saw. It was the story of the last day of a prisoner scheduled for execution. I remember that the guards asked him what he wanted for his last meal and served it to him. They had several stays of execution that lasted minutes while they waited for word from the governor. I also remember them taking him down the hall to the execution chamber, strapping him into the electric chair, and I think it showed his dying. I was quite young then, so don't remember the details. I realized at the time that I could not be a prison guard who worked on death row or be the person pulling the switch. Watching this show made me a life-long opponent of the death penalty.

I think this is the show that changed my opinion of the death penalty.
