6 Horrifying Things You Learn as an Inmate on Death Row pulls no punches in showing how harsh prison life can get. Special mention goes to how the guards would encourage inmates to fight, the description of how to kill someone with a magazine and old underwear (which is a lot worse than how it sounds), and how long it actually takes to be proven innocent.
