Will Schwarzenegger's new death chamber actually help inmates?

If building a new lethal-injection facility will improve quality of life for prisoners on California's death row, I'm for it.

    Wow what concern for the inmates

    Seven years ago someone just out of jail for molesting an 11 year old girl broke into my 73 year old aunts home. He raped her with a broom handle, slit her throat, and laughed about it as he walked down the street covered with her blood. Rather than be so concerned with the comforts of the inmates, the write should be concerned with what happened to their victims. My aunt lived, in a sort of way, with pain every day of her remaining life. Wow, so some death row is hard, and sometimes inmates getting the needle are in pain. GLAD TO HEAR IT.
