Can't wait to see it in action
Will this stop murder and rape?
SAN QUENTIN – They may be getting a little ahead of themselves, but California prison officials preparing to execute an inmate next week for the first time in nearly five years opened their new lethal injection chamber for inspection by the media Tuesday.
Convicted Riverside County killer Albert Greenwood Brown is scheduled to die at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday in the new facility, an $853,000 compound inside San Quentin State Prison that was built with prison labor in a project that began in 2007.
Inside the death chamber itself, the gurney used in previous injection executions sits in the middle of the room, with four holes through the wall that allow for the intravenous tubes to be routed from the "infusion control room."
A clock is on the wall directly above where the inmate's head will be, and another one is on the wall facing him.
The infusion control room, which includes a safe, a padlocked refrigerator, a sink and a digital clock, also has four telephones inside marked as direct lines to the governor, the attorney general, the Supreme Court and the warden.
The entire compound is designed to be used for only the last six hours of an inmate's life. The cell, where the inmate may eat his final meal under fluorescent lights, has a single bunk, a steel sink and a steel toilet.
The room and cell are painted white, and the inmate can look through the 31 steel bars that form the face of the cell to see a flat-screen television that can be tuned to free television (no cable for the condemned's last hours).
He also can watch a clock on the wall outside his cell.
