What, I wondered, would it be like to walk those last forty yards to the electric chair, knowing you were going to die there? What, for that matter, would it be like to be the man who had to strap the condemned in… or pull the switch? What would such a job take out of you? Even creepier, what might it add?”—Stephen King
His thoughts about this lead him to write the book in a series of six. He added detail to make the people in the story real and interesting and some of those were worse than those set to walk that "Green Mile" even thought it was 40 steps.
