Cause and Effect of Capital Punishment
A Murderer in Jail

They would leave the prisoners in their cell alone for 23 hours out of the day never seeing a classroom or the cafeteria. Sometimes the guards switched it up and put two cell mates together in a cell for 23 hours. Well this had made Donnell Brunson go to the extent he had gone. It was May 12, 1999 at 2:45 a.m. and Brunson was reading in his cell with his bunkmate, Jose Quintana who was charged for killing another man. Quintana asked for Brunson to turn off his light but Brunson did not and kept the light...
