100% of death row inmates are not somehow wrongfully there.
I think your particular choice of verbiage here tells you a big part of the reason people are reacting this way.
Innocent people can and do wind up on death row. So chances are good that somewhere in the country, a completely innocent human being is being subjected to all the horrors you just read about (assuming you read it at all).
Personally, I don’t think a civilized society should ever be subjecting people on death row to such inhumane treatment, innocent or guilty. They’re already facing the worst possible punishment a human being can, what additional benefit is gained by making them suffer needlessly in the interim? So you can get a justice boner at the thought that they’re miserable and you’re safe and comfy?
