The appeals process takes a long time, though most states take quite a while to complete the executions even after appeals are exhausted.

While it's true that they HAD to have taken or abused someone else's constitutional rights to get there, it would be "unconstitutional" and inhumane to actually clear the cells out any faster *please note the sarcasm*.
