Tina Brown is Florida's only woman who is currently in the death cell

Tina Brown is currently the only woman in the death cell in Florida, according to the Ministry of Corrections by the state.

She was convicted and set on fire for the first degree in March 2010 at 19-year-old Audreanna Zimmerman, a mother of two children, who was stunned with a taser. Zimmerman managed to run almost a third mile to look for help, but died of her injuries two weeks later.

What is life in the death cell in Florida?

The inmates of the death line in Florida are housed in small individual cells, with men of the Union Correctional institution and women in Lowell Annex.

Security is strict, with hourly checks and constant restrictions during the movement. The inmates of the death line can be easily identified by their orange shirts.
