The reported sacrifice (missing two meals), which these inmates made was allegedly taken seriously by officials at Central Prison. Fowler said. "Day by day, we sit in our 6 by 6 foot cells (2 to a cell) hoping and prayiiu that the decision from the United Stales Supreme Court will be in our favor and our lives will be spared." He continued, "I have been convicted of first degree, premeditated murder, when I shot and killed another man to E rotecl my own life, and here I North Carolina, the Stale has been, for 3 years, planning to put me and many others like me, to death.
