"White supremacist gang hit man Billy Joe Johnson got what he asked for from the Orange County jury that convicted him of first-degree murder last month: a death sentence.
It wasn't remorse for his crimes or a desire for atonement that drove him to ask for execution; it was the expectation that conditions on death row would be more comfortable than in other maximum-security prisons and that any date with the executioner would be decades away if it came at all."
California prisons appear to be a great place if you are on Death Row. That is why we are spending too much, not too little, on our prisons. Get rid of the TV's, ability to smoke, the better food and best health care, maybe murderers would not have a smile on their faces while on Death Row.
