the average length of time on death row...16 years

A few years ago, Congress passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act and associated legislation which blocked endless, repetitive appeals for death penalty cases. It will still be years if he chooses to persude appellate remedies to their height, but that historical average of 16 years will be decreasing the future due to new statutory restrictions in this area. FYI.
