It's Time for Me to Die: An inside Look at Death Row

Abstract

The author, a convicted serial killer, writes of his experiences on Connecticut's death row as the first man sentenced to death in that state in some 20–plus years and who may possibly be the first man executed in Connecticut since 1960. The author describes the paraphiliac mental disorder that led to the crimes, his treatment for that disorder, the decision that led to his failed attempt to accept the death penalty, and his hopes that something might be learned from his experiences that would prevent future victimizations. At the time of this writing, his fate has not yet been determined.
