President-elect Donald Trump’s return to office is putting a spotlight on the U.S. penitentiary in Terre Haute, which houses federal death row. In Bloomington, a small community of death row spiritual advisors is struggling to support the prisoners to whom they minister.  Ross Martinie Eiler is a Mennonite, Episcopal lay minister and member of the Catholic Worker movement, which assists the homeless. And for the past three years, he’s served as a spiritual advisor for a man on federal death row.

Hossein Karimabadi’s family went to Hamadan prison for the last visit the day before. And waited behind the prison door until morning to avoid the execution of their loved one.

An informed source said: “After being transferred to his cell, this prisoner cut his jugular vein and committed suicide, however, he was executed in this condition.”

The body of this prisoner was handed over to his family and he will be buried in Kangavar on Monday at 9:00 am.
