Death row inmate found dead in cell Monday –After 27 YEARS on Death Row

Another Death Row inmate has died at San Quentin.  No not by execution, but boredom and the legal system.,  Jose Guerra has been in death row since 1993—27 years .  Seriously, you would think the courts could make a decision in that amount of time.  Another example of why trust and respect in government is so low.

There are 706 more inmates waiting to die of boredom at San Quentin.
