Death row inmates' last words »

TheĀ New York Times ran a collection of last words spoken by inmates before they were executed. They’re so interesting, and heartbreaking. A few:

Nothing I can say can change the past.

Go ahead?

I don’t have anything to say. I am just sorry about what I did.

I wish I could die more than once to tell you how sorry I am.

Kick the tires and light the fire. I am going home.

Death row is full of isolated hearts and suppressed minds.
