Product Description

Product Description

Robert Towery was executed by the State of Arizona on March 8, 2012.
For the last 35 days of his life, Robert was placed on “Death Watch” where
his every move was recorded and chronicled by prison officials.
Robert also kept a diary which he gave or mailed to his attorneys as installments.
He detailed the ironies and absurdities of life in prison. He
reveled in simple pleasures, such as a good meal or a sports event on
television. He longed for human contact from his last visitors,
and he touchingly tried to comfort his pod-mate, who doesn’t really
understand that he was going to his death.

3.0 out of 5 stars Readable-Yes 1 Nov 2012

This book does exactly as it says. Its readable without being memorable. Each daily account is much the same as the day before. As I say readable and kills an hour or so.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Read... 23 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I found this book to be an interesting read & was curious to read about the final days/hours of a person life whilst awaiting Death Row. The book gives us an insight of Robert's thoughts,feelings & observations as he awaits his fate. Although short as previous reviewer's have said, it is a well written (Robert's contribution in diary form) & honest account & is well worth a read. Prisoner's may have made bad choices or been caught up in circumstance etc. but at the end of the day they're human too.
