The film climaxes in a final interview with Wuornos one day before her execution. In the interview, she states that she was tortured while in prison and claims that the prison used "sonic pressure" to control or alter her mental state.

Funeral options have certainly mushroomed. Do you want your loved one laid to rest in a plain oak coffin, a metallic-finish US-style casket, or an eco-friendly wicker basket?
