Episode Details

It was an extraordinary day on Florida’s death row, two inmates executed in one day, and one of them was 80-years-old. A massive debate is underway on whether or not our country should be executing elderly inmates. Florida has set three separate records this summer, executing the oldest inmates in that state’s history.
