Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful.

They arrive alive. They always leave dead. I am Jack Steen, the night nurse on the death ward of an Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

They raised families. They were loved. And they learned how to hide their crimes for decades. These killers are expert manipulators. They could be lying to me. Or maybe they’re telling the truth. Either way, now they’re talking to you.
