Absolutely, he's described his area to me. It's a dorm set up with like 60 men sepearted into cubicles. If I could spend the night with him I would just to have that time together.

YES YES YES!!! I'd visit my husbands cell in a heartbeat. If they told me I could see it they'd have to hold me back from running in there. I'd love to see where he keeps all of our family pictures and the letters I write and all his stuff.

I would want to see his cell just to get a better idea of what he has to deal with each day and of course to see what he has done with my pictures. He says he keeps his place immaculate. He told me that he washes the floor with towels on his hands and knees cuz he doesn't wanna use the mop everyone else has been using on their dirty floor.

Yes, I'd definately like to go see his cell. And, I'd stay a day or two as often as they'd let me, just me & him in the cell. I miss him so much!!! I think if I saw his cell, then it would be easier for me to picture it in my head, and I'd be able to picture him lying in his bunk thinking of me, that would help me fall asleep at night. I'd like to see how he has his things and all too. (Too bad I can't go in for a few days!!)

ok well I am a loser. I have never gotten locked up. I have seen the inside of a county jail before- visiting him. But I barely went past the front door. So yeah for one, I am definately curious. But I think to go visit his cell in prison- well he's not even in a cell. He's in barracks with like 50 other men. But yes, i would go- only if he was giving me the grand tour. And I would even want to lay down on his buck- dare him to join me. I don't care. I have been away from him for so long, and it has been hell for me- I think I would be willing to be in almost any kind of situation-- if it meant I could see him and talk to him and spend time with my baby. I have never been able to visit him because I am way too far away. I understand that the unit itself is not too bad. But I love and trust my man with my life. SO I know if he were there, nothing could or would happen to me. You know thoise "BRING YOUR CHILD TO WORK DAYS" well, I would let him "BRING YOUR WIFE TO PRISON DAY" and spend the whole day wih him in prison, go wherever he goes- do the things he does. BUT MAYBE I AM THE REAL WEIRDO OUT HERE.

I would like to see where he spends all his time but, I couldn't leave without him. Just the thought of him still having to stay behind bars would break my heart.

My husband is on death row. Thier accomodations are so great, they are not even called cells. My husband lives, in the pods. Sounds like something, from a Star Trek movie. Doesn't it? He can take 3 small steps or 2 of his normal strides in any direction but can go no farther.

I would share the tiny space gladly, just to be there with him and know that I eased his pain, eventhough it would grieve me, to see the place where he has suffered. I have saw pictures, of enough of these inhumane establishments to be certain that he suffers, in a way we can not completely understand, unless we have been there ourselves. Not even other inmates that I have talked to dare pretend, to know what my husband and the others endure in paradise, as they refer to thier enviroment.

I would go, because I would know his heart a little more, for the pain I would find there. Still, I already know the main thing that I would walk away with. That would be alot more disgust, for a system that puts so little value on justice and on human life. As well as for a society, that can lock the innocent away, along with the guilty and argue that the system makes no mistakes, in thier arrogance.

Yep, in a heartbeat I would like that. I mean I have seen "cells" on TV, but I would like to see how he has personalized his to the extent he is able. He often tells me it is like living in my bathroom, it is that small. I think one would have to be inside it to imagine how one might feel living like that all of these years. I can honestly say I would go crazy living in my bathroom and I have the luxury of having decorated it myself, where he has so very little that is allowed to decorate. Nothing can be hung on the walls. Everything nice and orderly and tidy.

I would love to just for one night to be near him, to love him, to cuddle with him and to sleep next to him. I wouldn't care if his cellie was there because I would be too much in focus on loving him like he has never been loved before doing the best that I could to be quiet so his cellie could have some sleep. ha! ha!

i hear you there. . . sheesh just regular visits are so hard when its time to leave and walk out that door, leaving him there. . . i cant imagine what it would be like to be able to spend any time at all with him in his house and then have to walk out and leave him there. that would break my heart more. i understand as much as i can from how he describes it to me; and i know that is nothing compared to how it really is.

OH HECK YEAH!!!!! IN A MINUTE!!

I have toured other Cali prisons so I know what they look like. It was shocking the first time to see how small they are. On TV, they make 'em look bigger so they can shoot a scene. You can barely fit a cameraman in the real ones.

But yeah, I would like to see where he lies around thinking and writing. We'd just kick back and talk... luckily I know his cellmates are always cool.

ABSOLUTELY!! HIs dorm is right behind the visiting park...I can see the door he walks in and out of...I can see his shower window...I have gone on the FLDOC website to see what it looks like inside the dorms and I would definietly love to sit on his bed and step on his floor and smell what he smells on a daily basis. I just want a look into "his temporary world"....maybe I am strange, but I love to know EXACTLY what he goes thru and what he sees. It helps when I miss him. I can visualize areas that he describes to me cuz I see it when I go up there. THere isn't much privacy though...it is an open bay dorm...74 beds in one room ....kinda like a military dorm. IT's kinda nice though...NO CELL DOORS CLOSING IN!!! But, yes, I would go there if even for 10 minutes!
Great poll!

I would visit his cell in a heartbeat. I would do his time for him. His life has been so hard and this is just another rough time for him and I want him to finally have something good. Not to mention I think I could better understand what he's going through and why he seems so tortured. He has described it to me . There are pictures everywhere and my letters neatly stacked.

I have to say yes I certainly would. In a half a heart beat. I want to be with him so bad I would do anything. Things are so rough for him right now that being there and being able to comfort him would help me understand his life a little bit better. He has been in for several years and has several more to go. He was 17 when he went in and he is now 29. Any and every millisecond I could have with him would be awesome. I would learn so much more about him. The problem would be leaving him behind. It would take a team of wild horses to drag me away when it was time to leave.

No, I don't think that I could. I already have anxiety attacks, and seeing his cell would only make me worse. I couldn't handle it, and I know he wouldn't want me to because he knows me.
