open up for you all, what is it that we need to know. all of you have spent so much time there. dave, i know you wrote a piece about gil yum price and this international struggle. if you understand the gil yum price family you can understand why people are in the streets of baltimore. first and foremost the state of maryland stepped up its executions in the late 1990s after going 20 years without executing anybody. where was the death house, right in the middle of a poor neighborhood in baltimore. in many states the death houses are in the middle of nowhere. because they want to isolate prisoners. this was right in the middle of the neighborhood defined by urban decay even gentrified a little bit. even though the death house and the supermax prison brand new. the only new building in the neighborhoods, the death house. tie reasonoeneason gilliam was executed
officers, probably two or three times. battery on officers. you know, anything you can think of. i mean, i ve stabbed officers. i ve sliced officers. i ve probably thrown chemical w warfare on 30 people, 40 people. if not more. at one point, it had gotten to where i had absolutely lost my mind. i got out of my cell by sliding my handcuffs to the front, pulling out about a six to an eight-inch knife and stabbing two different officers and chasing quite a few other ones around. i still lost, i ended up they put me in the death house.
of. i mean, i have stabbed officers. i ve sliced officers. i ve probably thrown chemical warfare on 30 people, 40 people, if not more. at one point it had gotten to where i had absolutely lost my mind. i had got out of my cell over at the north by sliding my handcuffs to the front, pulling out about a six to an eight inch knife and stabbing two different officers and chasing quite a few other ones around. i still lost. i ended up they actually put me in the death house. i stayed in that cell for about 30 days staring at the table. i was 20 when i came in. 19 when i fell.
contact visits or not, their time at angola ends at the death house. the method lethal injection. at this point, we get them strapped down and get the shoulders strapped down and then i m going to close the curtain and out comes the emts and they re going to start the ivs. we have some 60 minutes to do it. there are the two phones. they go to the department of corrections and the governor s mansion, but they never ring. i give a signal and nod my head to start the process and they ll start pushing the drugs, and then it takes about a minute and a half to breathe the two breaths usually, pshew-pshew, and then they ll stop breathing. in the case of john brown, since the iv was in his neck, he got a rush, and kind of raised up in the straps. i was holding his hand, so i wound up having to put my thumb under here and push him down
