Stop Death Sentences in Your County!

Launched: April 7, 2010

This Action Expired: December 31, 2010

Description:

California has become a rogue state when it comes to the death penalty. With more than 700 people, California’s death row is the largest and most costly in the nation, and is expected to cost the state $1 billion over the next five years. The tide is turning in the rest of the United States, with death sentences falling in state after state – but not here in California. Last year California sent more people to death row than any other state.
