Florida death row inmates say temperatures that routinely top 100 degrees in their cells force them to stand in toilets, drape themselves in wet towels and sleep naked on concrete floors............Institution near Raiford is cruel and unusual punishment and could lead to mental and physical illness and even death.............. By the time the lawsuit is decided, the inmates will have endured three summers of what their attorneys claim is a "dungeon-like atmosphere"..............the heat is especially oppressive for older and obese inmates and those with physical and mental problems...................."It's just a matter of time before someone dies," Mr. Berg said........Florida's death row population is aging. Of the 329 death-sentenced prisoners on Jan. 22, 107 were 45 or older and six were older than 65. More than a third of the prisoners, 129, were obese and 86 had skin disorders, according to court documents.............and the rest are just downright UGLY.........

Standing in toilets to me is just punishment. I wish I thouht of that. It could even lead to death before we let you fry them. It should not take three years to cook the dirt bags. It's a matter of time before someone dies of old age also. Almost a third of them are over 45, they should have known better in the first place.
My concerns and compassion is with the families of their victims.
