For Phyllis Bricker, a rare tour yesterday through the Supermax prison - where her parents’ killer is housed on death row - was the latest step in a painful odyssey as she awaits an execution that has been on hold for years.
“My parents are gone, and he’s still here,” Bricker said while standing inside the fortified building north of downtown, at the state prison complex on East Madison Street.
For Lisa Spicknall, whose husband killed their two children in 1999 and was later slain by another inmate in prison in Jessup, there was some relief. Though her husband was never at Supermax, she was relieved to see that prison isn’t a place where inmates are coddled.
“It does us good to know that it’s not a life of luxury and they don’t get all kinds of privileges,” said Spicknall, who stills grieves for her children. “Their lives are definitely altered and changed.”
