The sole federal execution chamber in the United States is in a place called Terre Haute the high ground in far western Indiana, named for a swath of land that rises above the nearby Wabash River. The surrounding country is in fact flat and wide, precipitously exposed to the sky.
The prison complex south of downtown via Route 150, past the dome and bell tower of the Vigo County courthouse, and after the Tire Barn on Spring Hill Road comprises the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution and the maximum-security U.S. Penitentiary, the home of the Special Confinement Unit: death row and the death house, a low, windowless building of dark-red brick on the northern edge of the grounds.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib: US Policing Racist, Can’t Be Reformed
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) took to Twitter Monday evening to call for an end to policing in the United States as we know it, claiming it’s “intentionally racist” and “can’t be reformed.”
Tlaib’s comments come after the killing of a 20-year-old black man, Daunte Wright, who was fatally shot Sunday by an officer, during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Police say the shooting was accidental.
“It wasn’t an accident,” wrote Tlaib. “Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist. Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence.”
