N2  - This article is a chronology of the day-by-day life of an inmate in his final week on death row. The procedures designed for this special prisoner--involving, for the warden, unique problems of management--deal with every detail that can possibly be regu lated : counting, feeding, shaving, clothing, mail, visits, preserva tion of good physical condition, etc. The daily schedules present a rhythmic application of traditional prison practices and unique death row procedures; together, they make up a script of how executions have been carried out for years in California. In space- age terms, this ritual of procedures in the last week of the con demned man's life is a "count down" to death.     <p>Language: en</p>
