The Day Before the Murder
San Quentin Prison is on lockdown today because the state-sanctioned murder of a human being is going to take place at midnight.
All the prisoners will be confined to their living areas to avoid any unrest. Also, they'll get extra goodies for dinner. It's one way to pacify the prisoners. That has been a policy since execution was resumed in 1992.
Rumor has it, back in the old days, when the state killed a prisoner, the prisoners would kill a guard in revenge. The cycle of killing never stops.
Who is to say one life is more valuable than another?
All lives are miracles. Let's stop the killing and get busy loving.
