Death Row Inmate Plucks Out Eyeball
This is probably one of the more disturbing stories to come across the wires lately. http://www.keyetv.com/content/news/topnews/story/Death-row-inmate-pulls-out-eye-eats-it/d2WNKvkIXE6BfA5XHm_nRw.cspx. Apparently a inmate on death row pulled out his own eyeball . . . and ate it.
I'll save the lengthy discussion on the propriety of killing people who are obviously this mentally ill. I will say this: if you needed any further proof that mental illness is a major contributing factor to people committing violent crimes, here it is. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've heard of this happening - it's happened in our local jail as well.
Eek.
