Richard Cooey hasn't been stuffing himself for the last 22 years in an attempt to escape execution, death row inmates are fed a high fat diet of slop and they do not have access to regular exercise. They are kept in cells so small that it is impossible for them to exercise there either. Apart from when they first arrive on the row, inmates have to pay for their clothes and toiletries and anything else they need. As they are not allowed to participate in any work projects within the prison, they have to rely on their families to send them money. Death row is not a stste funded holiday camp, it's absolute hell. Cooeys crimes are vile and he deserves to be punished, keeping him incarcerated forever will do this, killing him will solve nothing. I don't buy into this sense of closure every one thinks his death will bring, his victim's families will continue to mourn the loss of their loved ones whether he lives or dies.
Execute obese inmate soon; deny parole to Valley killer
