Two Maryland women seek immediate execution on death row
Doris Ann Foster and Annette L. Stebbing, the state’s only female death row inmates, urge the Maryland Court of Appeals and Supreme Court officials to drop appeals so they may die in the gas chamber. They cite inhumane living conditions at Jessup prison and past hunger strikes. Stebbing, 24, and Foster, 40, discuss ongoing custody hardships and their desire for swift death rather than prolonged appeals.
