The Tennessee Legislature went so far as to send a resolution to the U.S. Congress asking that Judge Nixon be impeached and proposed moving death row out of the middle district so as to remove capital appeals from Judge Nixon's jurisdiction. I included this section in order to provide data about death row inmates. Several sites include information about the history of capital punishment, methods of execution, and policies and procedures during an execution. One interesting site is provided by the North Carolina Department of Corrections. Data such as this provides an easy assignment for students to explore using the Internet.
Several universities maintain sites that provide a wealth of information about capital punishment.
The Capital Punishment Research Group is an attempt to provide assistance to anyone who teaches a course on capital punishment. A list of videos, texts, and syllabi are provided. You are visitor number to my home page.
