The phrase "dead man walking" originated in American prisons in the 20th century, where it was used to alert staff members that a death row inmate was being led to their execution. The phrase was reportedly first used in the 1980s by a corrections officer in Louisiana, and was later popularized by the 1995 movie "Dead Man Walking." The phrase has since been used more broadly to describe a person or group who is in imminent danger of facing a negative consequence or punishment, or who is likely to lose something of great value or importance to them.
