What Tim Jones’s life is like on Death Row

Posted

For 1 hour a day convicted killer Tim Jones, Jr., is allowed to exercise.

He can also socialize in groups of 6 in a game room with limited TV programs.

He is allowed use of a legal library computer but cannot access the internet. He can buy a portable music device from the commissary.

SC law stipulates death by lethal injection, but when all his appeals are exhausted and an execution order signed, he can choose electrocution.

No inmates are scheduled for execution due to pending appeals.

SC does not have any lethal injection drugs on hand and is unable to purchase any, according to Chrysti Shain, SCDOC Director of Communications.

The last person executed in SC was Jeffrey Brian Motts on May 6, 2011.

James Earl Reed was the most recent person put to death in SC’s electric chair in 2008.
