Can Death Row Inmates Get Life Insurance? 
That is an excellent question ! I work with several insurance companies , and I do not know of a single one that will insure someone who is currently incarcerated , especially one on death row . Insurance companies are all about risk , and if the applicant is living a lifestyle that includes incarceration , you can bet they will pass every time . Generally there will be a period of time that must elapse before they will consider approving the claim . Unfortunately , this is one of those side effects of negative behavior that is n't considered beforehand , and becomes a big problem afterward . Sorry , but thanks for asking !
