As part of PPAD 515, Unekia Oatis (MPPA ; right in pic) and Dr. Slack (left in pic) toured the MS State Penitentiary. They visited the gas death chamber, as well as the lethal injection chambers while focusing on the mechanics of the execution processes. Also toured the death cells, where the condemned is taken 48 hours prior to execution, and the witness rooms.
We appreciate the efforts of Mrs. Wells (center in pic), and several correctional officers, who made the visit significant in understanding the processes used in Mississippi in executing men and women.
