A recent edi­tion of The Angolite, the nation’s largest prison news mag­a­zine, con­tains an arti­cle detail­ing nation­al death penal­ty trends and devel­op­ments. The piece high­lights the emer­gence of sev­er­al promi­nent con­ser­v­a­tives who have voiced con­cerns with the cur­rent death penal­ty sys­tem, includ­ing Montana State Senator Roy Brown and con­ser­v­a­tive activist Richard Viguerie. The arti­cle is authored by John Corley and pro­vides an in-depth look at the ongo­ing con­tro­ver­sy about lethal injec­tion pro­ce­dures around the coun­try, the high costs of main­tain­ing the death penal­ty sys­tem, and the risks of wrong­ful exe­cu­tions. The Angolite is an award-win­ning bi-month­ly prison news mag­a­zine pro­duced by inmates at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
