"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."    —Gandhi

In 2003, two death row inmates were exonerated and released after being incarcerated for more than a quarter century. In the case of others, release was granted just weeks before their scheduled execution. Altogether, since 1973, one hundred death row inmates have been cleared and released from prison. And, since 1993, an average of five inmates have been released annually.

Execution of the innocent is just one of many reasons to help end capital punishment in the US today.
