💨 Abstract

Former Illinois Governor George Ryan, known for halting executions and emptying death row, passed away at the age of 91. He served one term from 1999 to 2003, but was later imprisoned for corruption charges related to government office misuse and illegal activities that led to the fiery deaths of six children. During his time in prison, Ryan worked as a carpenter and befriended fellow inmates.
