The latest edition of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund’s quarterly publication “Death Row USA” is now available on DPIC’s Web site. The April 2004 report reveals a continuing decline in the number of individuals on death row in the United States. The current population of 3,487 is 17 less than the 3,504 individuals reported in January 2004 and 210 fewer than the 3,697 reported in October 2002. “Death Row USA” provides a comprehensive look at the nation’s death row population, including a complete listing of those serving death sentences in each state. The report also details execution data, race statistics, and information on women and juvenile offenders. In addition, this resource provides a useful overview of important court cases from around the country that could shape the future of capital punishment.
