Episode Notes

Guest agent: clinical psychologist Dr. Henry Loomis

This episode was co-written by William Read Woodfield, a strong anti-death penalty advocate who co-authored the final hours of Caryl Chessman in the book Ninth Life (1961). Woodfield insisted on making the death penalty process shown here as painful yet realistic as possible.
