Death Row

Now that the state of Florida has executed another death row inmate, that chalks up 22 executions under Gov. Rick Scott’s term and just beats former Gov. Jeb Bush’s record of 21 executions.

But there is lots more work to be done. Remember that there are over 380 inmates still on Death Row, three of whom have just celebrated their 40th anniversary on Death Row.
