In 2005, inmates at the Polunsky Unit in Texas agreed to stage a peaceful protest to boycott the execution of one of their own! The idea was to stop actively participating in daily activities, since it was already impossible to prevent the execution itself. So the inmates sat down on the floor at every opportunity, where they had to be dealt with repeatedly by the task force seen in this video … The men were then strapped to a gurney in full view, just as the delinquent would soon be, to show solidarity and support. Here we see TONY EGBUNA FORD on several occasions.
KENNETH FOSTER, JR. was scheduled to be executed on August 30, 2007, but due to anticipated protests, he was unexpectedly transferred from the Polunsky Unit in Texas to Huntsville the night before. To allow the family a final farewell in the visiting room, this is usually only done at noon on the day of execution, which is why Kenneth refused to actively participate in this premature transfer. He feared that he would not be able to see any of his loved ones before his death. Just seven hours before the execution, when he was already at the execution site, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles voted for clemency, prompting Governor Rick Perry to commute his sentence to life imprisonment. Kenneth is a victim of the ‘law of parties’.
