Today, DPIC is posting the first item in a new series: “50 Facts About the Death Penalty.” Each weekday for the next 10 weeks, we will share a short but significant fact about capital punishment. These items, which have accompanying images, will cover topics including innocence, public opinion, deterrence, race, and more. This series is intended as a resource for anyone looking to learn more about the death penalty. Each of the individual 50 Facts is accompanied by a link to a source that provides more detailed information about that fact. Watch for daily updates on DPIC’s Twitter account and the 50 Facts page, as well as a weekly 50 Facts video on Facebook.
