Listopia > Death Row, Capital Punishment - FICTION

For FICTION books about or featuring a person on Death Row.
--This list should focus on people already convicted and are awaiting execution. Or are exonerated (or in the process of being) and are released from Death Row, perhaps due to lawyers or detectives looking into the case just in time and realizing they're innocent.

Death row is a special section of a prison in the United States, that houses inmates who are awaiting execution after being sentenced to death for the conviction of a capital crime. "Death row" is a term also used figuratively to describe the state of awaiting execution ("being on death row"), even in places where no special facility or separate unit for condemned inmates exists.
