Yes it has happened many times. It does seem strange than someone would kill himself/herself when he/she is already guaranteed to die, but this happens because the inmates want to reclaim some control over their own fates. They cannot escape death, so they choose to die by their own terms.

Is death penalty it is specific detterence?
The stated purpose of the death penalty is supposed to be deterrence; people will be less likely to commit such crimes for fear of being executed. This doesn't work in the USA, because the death penalty is so seldom carried out these days that criminals don't actually expect to be executed. The effectiveness of deterrence is directly proportional to the probability of the punishment being imposed. If murderers were actually executed instead of living for 20 years on "death row", it would be a more effective deterrent.
