DEATH
ROW words by Tony Medina 
“… when all one has is one`s own thoughts, it
won`t take very long for them to turn inwards on themselves, and on the
one who thinks them… Where lies the path to insanity.” What they
say about history repeating itself is true. A couple years ago I sat in
this very same cage, at this very same steel bunk, typing on this very
same typewriter and wrote about this world I`ve been in since 1996…
DEATH ROW. For as sure as I am sitting here writing these words, Death
Row is undoubtedly a world unto itself.

Manuscript from article dated March 26, 2006
Anthony
Medina is sitting on death row in a US prison. His attorney is fighting
to reopen his case, as he is thoroughly convinced of the innocence of
his client. Livingston, Texas. The Polunski Unit – Death Row is
located 40 miles north of Houston. We wanted to meet this man who
supposedly has the death of two children on his conscious. Sentenced to
death he has been waiting nine years for Day X, the day he is to receive
the lethal injection. During our conversation any type of personal or
body contact is strictly prohibited. A bullet-proof glass separates Tony
from the outside world. We wanted to hear from him, why he is in here.
