Men and women on death row, and really anyone in prison no matter where they're held, are mostly forgotten until they make the news. Twenty-seven states still have the death penalty. Across all of them, there are 45 women on death row. Christa is the only one in Tennessee. Unless God intervenes, after the 10 a.m. Central window opens this morning, there will be 44.

Unit 42 at Parchman is the hospital. Within the walls of this unit, there is also a psych ward where, when you walk through the steel gates of that wing, you immediately feel something.
