Not telling the prisoners their date of execution seems unreasonably cruel, especially considering that some inmates have been subsequently released/exonerated. Their reasoning of "not causing the inmate undue stress" is just incorrect, while the idea that "their victims didn't have prior warning" is steeped in a thirst for revenge and retribution, rather than justice. That's some Code of Hammurabi level thinking that only retards social progress.
