RESOURCE HIGHLIGHT: Updates to Upcoming Executions and Outcomes of Warrants Webpages

The Death Penalty Information Center main­tains an up-to-date list of sched­uled exe­cu­tions and out­comes of death war­rants issued by the states and fed­er­al gov­ern­ment. Updated each busi­ness day, the Upcoming Executions page con­tains inter­ac­tive maps dis­play­ing the cur­rent num­ber of active death war­rants, as well as the total num­ber of exe­cu­tions sched­uled for each year, through 2026. There are also tables list­ing addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion about each of these cases.

DPIC’s redesigned out­comes of death war­rants page now pro­vides sim­pli­fied death war­rant out­come-cat­e­gories ​“active,” ​“inac­tive,” and ​“exe­cut­ed,” as well as pro­vid­ing addi­tion­al details about the pro­ce­dur­al his­to­ry of each case. Each out­come describes the cur­rent sta­tus of a death war­rant for a spe­cif­ic pris­on­er. The ​“active” cat­e­go­ry iden­ti­fies pris­on­ers who have been issued a war­rant and have an exe­cu­tion date set, while the ​“inac­tive” cat­e­go­ry includes pris­on­ers who, for a vari­ety of rea­sons, no longer have a sched­uled exe­cu­tion date. Those iden­ti­fied under the ​“exe­cut­ed” cat­e­go­ry have been exe­cut­ed by the state or juris­dic­tion in which they received a death sen­tence. The out­comes of death war­rants are also dis­played in two addi­tion­al tables: out­comes nation­al­ly, by month, and out­comes by jurisdiction.
