DPIC is pleased to announce the addi­tion of five more states to our State Information Pages. Information is now avail­able for 25 states, includ­ing the lat­est entries: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Massachusetts and New York. These pages pro­vide his­tor­i­cal and cur­rent infor­ma­tion on the death penal­ty for each state (regard­less of whether it cur­rent­ly has the death penal­ty), includ­ing famous cas­es, past leg­isla­tive actions, and links to key orga­ni­za­tions. For fre­quent­ly-updat­ed infor­ma­tion, such as exe­cu­tion totals, the size of death row, or the num­ber of exon­er­a­tions, see our State-by-State Database. The remain­ing state pages will be made avail­able soon, espe­cial­ly as res­i­dents send infor­ma­tion, pic­tures, and links to orga­ni­za­tions. You can reach the State Information Pages through the ​“State by State” but­ton at the top of every page on our web­site or under the ​“Resources” tab in our main menu.

(DPIC, October 20, 2011). Much of the infor­ma­tion for these pages has been pro­vid­ed by indi­vid­u­als and orga­ni­za­tions work­ing on the death penal­ty in each state, and we wel­come fur­ther input. Thanks to those who helped make this new resource pos­si­ble. For links to some of DPIC’s oth­er new resources, see our Special Resources page.
