---

- Bitsey, you ever been in a prison?

- Yes.

- On death row?

- No.

I.D.'s again, please.

All executions in the state of Texas...

occur over at

our Huntsville unit downtown...

but death row is here

for the time being.

This is home to all 442 offenders

prior to their date.

Average stay on row

is nine years.

Now, some get commuted,

but most get put to death.

- Earl. It'll put you off your supper,

But, then, it's supposed to.

Carla, New York guests

for Mr. Gale.

- Can I get your bags?

- We have three concerns here...

- safety, safety and safety.

Visitation area's entirely secure. We

just ask that you don't touch the glass.

- Windex gets expensive.

- Oh, hey.

- You're not carrying a weapon,

are you, Bitsey?

- Bitsey?

- Sorry. No.

- Mr. Stemmons, you packin'?

- No, sir.

- Cell phone?

- They're not working. No service.

Then you won't mind

leaving them here.

We also have rules against the carryin'

of large sums of cash...

- Thank you.

- And the wearin' of open-toed shoes.

Those will do just fine.

You want to step on through now?

There you go. Mm-hmm.

- Thank you, ma'am.

- That's fine.

- Open-toed shoes?

- Drives 'em crazy.

Your turn, Mr. Stemmons.

Right on through there.

Good, good. Now, should

anything unpleasant occur

in the visitation area...

we ask you to stay put.

And please, follow the instructions

of our fine correctional officers...

should they see fit

to give you any.

Bobby. Now, anything you say

can be overheard...

and any discussion of criminal

activity on your part is admissible.

You're not plannin' on

a jailbreak now, are you, Bitsey?

- Uh, no.

- Well, rain seems to be holdin' off.

You watch your step here, Bitsey girl.

This cement can get pretty slippery.

This is our Japanese garden.

Now, we ask you not

to throw coins in the pond.

Right this way.

Almost there.

Here we are.

This is our visitation area right here.

All yours, Mr. Belyeu.

Well, that's it for me.

- You folks have a safe visit. Bye now.

- Thank you.

- Ms. Bloom? Come right on in here

and make yourself comfortable.

- Yes.

Did that P.R. Man

validate your parkin'?

- He said the gift shop would do it.

- She's a smart one.

- Braxton Belyeu, Mr. Gale's attorney.

- This is Zack Stemmons.

My good pleasure.

And right over here,

we have the man of the hour.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Sit down,

Gale. Prisoner will not stand.

Now, why can't they

turn that thing down?

My lawyer respectfully requests

that you adjust the volume

on the speaker system.

Gale. Sit down.

They're practicing

being cruel and unusual.

Well, Ms. Bloom, I'm sure

you're bitin' at the bit.

It is our understanding that you
