In light of the Corporate Public Stand against the
Death Penalty taken by the Clinton Franciscans, we:
Recognizing the human agony and suffering involved, we support the families of the victims and of those on death row and their families in their journeys of grief, repentance, healing, forgiveness, reconciliation, and / or quest for exoneration. Since taking this stand in 2002, we have publicized state executions, asking our friends to pray with us for those on death row, for their victims, for the families and for the citizens whose states inflict the death penalty. We also encourage residents of those states to write their legislators and otherwise work to change the death penalty laws. | Death Penalty Laws by State The following states do NOT have the death penalty: Alaska District of Columbia Hawaii Illinois Iowa Maine Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota NewJersey New Mexico New York North Dakota Rhode Island Vermont West Virginia Wisconsin All other states DO have the death penalty. |
