A new data­base of death row pris­on­ers in the U.S. is now avail­able on DPIC’s Web site. The data­base con­tains cur­rent sortable and search­able infor­ma­tion on death row inmates in each state, includ­ing their name, race, coun­ty, and date of birth. The infor­ma­tion in the data­base is also editable, mean­ing that indi­vid­u­als with knowl­edge of death row inmates may change or add new infor­ma­tion. This new data­base may be a use­ful tool in explor­ing how the death penal­ty is applied. Click here to access the database. 

This resource has been cre­at­ed by OpposingViews​.com, and DPIC is not respon­si­ble for its con­tent and can­not guar­an­tee its accu­ra­cy. The mod­el for gath­er­ing infor­ma­tion is a self-cor­rect­ing one, and this resource is still being refined. Another resource for death row infor­ma­tion is Death Row USA, pub­lished by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. See also DPIC’s Death Row page. (Posted Sept. 30, 2009).
