I actually had the rare experience of VISITING Federal Death Row in Terre Haute, Indiana, in late 2005.  Turns out that I was in the SHU (Special Housing Unit; "solitary", "the hole") and I needed dental work.  Well, the dentist's office for SHU happens to be in Death Row; as I recall it might have been called "Secure Containment Unit".)   At the time, as I recall, there were about 41 inmates there.  Don't know how many now.
