67 - Death Row Diaries

67 - Death Row Diaries

The road to the death chamber is paved with paperwork, politics—and blood.

Former prosecutor and criminal justice columnist Matthew Mangino, author of The Executioner’s Toll, pulls back the curtain on America’s executions. His book documents every person put to death in 2010, exposing the names, the crimes, the last appeals, and the cold precision process behind the state’s deadliest ritual.

From firing squads to lethal injection to the quiet hum of the execution chamber—what are their final meals? Their last words? And what does someone say when there’s nothing left to bargain?

“It’s not about justice. It’s about finality. And once it’s done—there’s no going back.” — Matthew Mangino

Step inside the machinery of death. The sentence is final. The questions aren't.
