If someone is on death row, is there a bail?
Or are they going to die?

Guess it depends on the country?

There are lots of appeals to go through, so a lot of people on death row don't actually get killed but rather have their sentences changed to life without parole or they die of natural causes while on death row.

I thought they were put in the hotchair, or injected with poison...

I think that's for when a convict is sentenced to the death penalty rather than actually serving a prison sentence.

I'm fairly sure that the electric chair is not used any more, and only death by lethal injection is used when an execution actually happens.

Ok, so if they are on death row, with the death sentence, can there be a bail?

 

[charlietheowl]

Bail is so that people who are initially arrested but not yet tried for a crime can get out of prison before their case is processed. If you are on death row, you've already been convicted of a crime and need an appeal to get off death row and back to a "regular" jail sentence.
