Inside Death Row Convict Troy Davis' Final Moments

The clock is ticking on what could be Troy Davis' final day alive, and an exclusive insight into his life on death row.
Despite an outpouring of support to have the death penalty judgement repealed, the convicted killer, who maintains his innocence, is scheduled to be executed at 7 p.m. EST on Wednesday.
"He’s got no possessions right now, they took away his address book - everything. They even took away part of his pen so that it can’t cause him harm, so now he writes with just the barrel," a friend of Davis’ told reporters in an exclusive interview.
"It is really intense conditions," she explained. "He’s been on suicide watch because of the execution, but that is mandated not because of his state of mind."
A volunteer member of Amnesty International, the friend has been writing to Davis for the past five years of his incarceration and is a strong supporter of his case.
"The last letter I got from him was two days ago after we heard the appeal for clemency had been rejected, it was dated September 17," the friend explained, going on to say that she has been passing the most recent correspondence to Davis through a friend due to concern that his mail is being read by the prison staff.
"His mail is being censored now and I’ve been trying to be mindful of that."
