Demanding Death

by Mumia Abu-Jamal

Michael Alan Durocher, of Florida's death row, wrote to the governor, literally begging for death. Gov. Lawton Chiles agreed, signed his death warrant, and Durocher sent him a thank-you note.

On Aug. 25, 1993, at 7:15 a.m., Durocher, 33, got his wish. California's death-row convict David Mason fired his appellate lawyers, saying he was both willing and ready to breathe his last in the gas chamber. Mason, 36, angrily decried what he called t he "industry" of lawyers who capitalize off of appeals in capital cases. Even after his last-ditch change of heart, when he sought life, his case came to symbolize the growing incidence of death-row prisoners who demand death. There is, however, a critica l difference between perception and the reality.

There are approximately 2,600 men and women on death row in the US. To this date, only 26 people have volunteered to be executed: less than 1%. The Washington-based National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty has assembled facts on this phenomenon detailing the race of those persons choosing execution.

No meaningful analysis of the incidence of volunteer execution can take place without noting who does it. How does a bare minority of death row become an overwhelming majority?

Whites constitute less than 51% of all the death-row prisoners in the US, so why are over 80% of the volunteers white?

Nationally, Blacks constitute roughly 46% of state prisoners. In the 35 states, new court commitments for the Blacks entering prison stand at 51.3% of all the admissions, according to the US Bureau of Justice statistics. Increasingly, since the rebelli ons of the 1960s, prisons have become blacker and blacker, a threatening, fearful milieu to white prisoners, among them, those on an increasingly blacker death row.

For far too many African-Americans, imprisonment has become a warped rite of passage, a malevolent mark of "manhood" that denies Black men entry into more socially acceptable realms of economic activity. For whites, however, even of the working class, it is a mark of social expulsion and affirmation of one's outcast status. Alienated from a social order that has prescribed death, and further alienated from younger, blacker, more militant prisoners, either on death row or in general population, is there any wonder that the majority of prisoners who have opted for death have been white? To this must be added the onslaught from the federal judiciary, which has eviscerated the Writ of Habeas, thereby thickening the atmosphere of despair that pervades death row. For all on death row, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, or women, the regime of lockdown, loneliness, and hopeless waits for death exacts a terrible psychic, spiritual, psychological toll. Fear of approaching, advancing lassitude, the looseni ng of bonds of loved ones, the specter of prison as a foreboding old-folks home—all these things play a part, more crucial than admitted, in the headlong rush for death.

As long as conditions on the row are soul-killing by design, there will be those who would rather die than live another day in these man-made hells.
