Full Episode

In May 2001, three men broke into Joanna Rodriguez's apartment. The men demanded drugs and money, but when Joanna and her partner were unable to provide, they stole their four-day-old son from his crib and kidnapped Joanna. Women on Death Row gives full access to the journeys of six women on death row in the United States, starting with the crimes and convictions that brought them to this position, exploring the struggles of living in imprisonment, and living every day knowing that soon it will be your last. Through never-before-seen footage from inside each prison, haunting recordings and first-person interviews, we navigate through the maze of death row to intimately witness these women’s stories.
