In the United States, 35 states have the death penalty, while 15 oppose it. Since 1976, 1243 people have been executed. So far in 2011, nine people have been put to death. Many inmates have spent over twenty years on death row, and 68% of these convictions have been reversed. Less than 1% of murders' are condemned to death and only about 2% of death row inmates are ever executed. More minorities are faced with the dread of death row, than whites are.
