High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Death row is the place, often a section of a prison, that houses individuals awaiting execution. The term is also used figuratively to describe the state of awaiting execution ("being on death row"), even in places where a special facility or separate section of a prison does not exist. After individuals are found guilty of an offense and sentenced to death, they will remain on death row while following any appeals procedure, and then until there is a convenient time for execution. Due to the complex, expensive and time-consuming appeals procedure that must be followed in some jurisdictions, e.g. the United States, before an execution can be carried out, prisoners may wait years before execution; nearly a quarter of deaths on death row in the U.S. are in fact due to natural causes.
