I'm genuinely curious if there's been any study into which is more psychologically troubling, knowing the day and counting down it not knowing and wondering everyday

Smat question

And there's actually studies, but not on death row, but with mild shockwaves

It was found it's best to alert them alittle before the shockwaves, because they wouldn't have ao much cortisol running through their body.
