this is a you tube channel about a guy sent to prison for non violent drug charges and he discusses prison issues and conditions and what its like to serve time. He discusses food, commissary and situations. He does an entertaining job. Joe Gueerrro.
A case he discussed was a case of a person who called doctors from phone book hoping to score drugs as they came to attend a fake illness of a fake patient and was the last federal execution for 40 years back in
March 15, 1963
For his last meal, Feguer did not want anything fancy; in fact, his request was not even really a meal at all. All he wanted was a single olive with the pit still in it.[2] He told guards he hoped an olive tree would sprout from his grave as a sign of peace.[2]
On March 14, 1963, Feguer sat in an all-night vigil with a Roman Catholic priest. Between 4 and 5 in the morning of March 15, Feguer was given a new suit for his execution. Two guards escorted him to the gallows, and he was hanged at dawn. The witnesses included an Associated Press journalist and John Ely, then a member of the Iowa House of Representatives, whose witnessing of the execution reinforced his opposition to the death penalty, leading him to work to abolish the state death penalty in Iowa, which occurred in 1965,[1] but which had no effect on the federal law under which Feguer had been executed. After Feguer was pronounced dead, authorities found the pit from the olive in one of his suit pockets.
The body was removed by a local funeral home. Feguer's death certificate listed "fracture cervical spinal column" as the cause of death. Feguer was buried in an unmarked grave in Fort Madison City Cemetery in Iowa wearing a second new suit that was provided for his burial.
