There are just over 2,000 DRIs in the entire US, 46 of which are women. Alabama is leading the list with >300 inmates per 10M inhabitants.
Wow, that’s crazy. Alabama you say? Wow, that’s crazy. I wonder how many are POC.
There are way more states without any death row inmates.

Fair enough. The data is presented very weirdly. I changed the post
Once the appeals are exhausted, tap, tap. Problem solved. Cheaply. No more of our money spent to house and care for these outcast.
You specify “cheaply”. Because you KNOW in reality, it costs more to execute a prisoner than to house and care for them. So implied by this is the existence of a fucking MAGIC WAND so that you can live in the world that best fits your ideological views. I hope you will share your fucking MAGIC WAND when you have finished reshaping society.
$4.00 now vs $40,000+ per year. Damn! Math is hard.
Bad faith reply that continues to ignore the reality that you know exists, because reality hurts your feelings.
Nah, they just hate black and/or poor people.
Clearly a lawless hellhole. Alabama should be seized and cleaned up.
Edit: It may be unclear, but this is a riff on poor quality studies that indicate increased lawlessness among certain populations.
But also, Alabama sucks.
We used covid money to build a new private prison named after our governor!
inmates per 10M inhabitants
Why per 10 million?
Right? Alabama doesn’t even have 10 million people.
100k seems ubiquitous, but I guess they use 1M for state numbers. 10M truly is silly. My only guess is that most other states are around <10/10M and they wanted something to compare that even a politician could understand.
Fair enough, thought of converting it to 100k but was too lazy lol
I mean, you can choose any denominator, as long as you’re using the same one to compare statistics
Sure but using a non standard denominator makes off more difficult to compare to other metrics.
Sorry, what is the “standard denominator” for comparing executions?
Powers of a thousand; per thousand, per million, per billion, etc
Considering this is US, at least they’re not using football fields
The shithole of the shithole.
