This is just too damn crazy! Yuck! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090109/ap_on_re_us/death_row_eye;_ylt=An1xkqH5ZuZ2XTKIVByPZQxvzwcF
I heard about that on the Jason Ellis show on Sirius Faction (listen to it if you haven't before, its the best out there!!!) crazy story though
I work in the prison system. I've seen a dude cut his own junk off with a piece of broken plastic from the overhead lights.
You know I read this the other day and was thinking, the very last place on earth that I would want to be without eyesight is in prison. I'm sure that this guy is probably on 23 hour solitary lockdown since he is on death row, but still. Being blind is bad enough for those who were not born that way (they adapt from birth), can you imagine being in a prison without your eyesight? Needless to say... it sucks to be him!
