There is a section for the US Military, but the Federal Government also has a death penalty, which can (presumably) be applied even in states without the DP themselves.
Timothy McVeigh was executed after being convicted in Federal Court of the Federal Crime of murdering 8 Federal Employees. I believe the Boston Marathon bomber may meet the same fate, despite Mass having no DP as the state Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional according to this article.
A section for this should be added under the US Army section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.76.12 ( talk) 01:30, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
This is at AFD right now, but likely should not be there due it being properly tagged as under construction. If it gets withdrawn (I have requested such) then I think a few should hash the purpose of the article out a little more before worrying about content, per se. Pharmboy ( talk) 01:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Now that the article has passed AFD, what direction should it go? I'm not an expert, but I still think that the article would be better served if it was modified a bit to include ALL persons who have ever served on death row (may or may not require title change, would poll for that). Preferably including dates and disposition. Obviously it can start with the present people, but expanding it would improve it and make it more comprehensive, and it would be good to start with a clear goal: either this one, or something else that is clearly stated here in talk. How it would be organized depends, perhaps in two sections per state, past and present, so moving them after they are released or executed would be trivial.

There are over three thousand people on death row in the US...why these few dozen? http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row-inmates-state-and-size-death-row-year There are absolutely no references either. Czolgolz ( talk) 18:41, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
It is a violation of the policy for biographies of living persons to have a name in this list without at least one reliable source, when the article says these are criminals sentenced to death for murder or some other felony. I have left some names which at least appear to have references in an article about death row inmates in a particular state, but a reference is really required in this article next to the specific name. Round 2 will be removing any remaining name lacking an inline reference. If the list could swell to 3000 names, and no inline references are required, it would be a vandal magnet. Edison ( talk) 02:11, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I've edited the article to what I believe will be a more workable format. It's unrealistic to list all 3000 inmates and then keep up with each and every inmate status and certainly a list of all 3000 would be too long to read! These are the new guidelines that I think should be followed (chime in if you think they should be altered):
Richard Roszkowski was recently added to Connecticut's death row. Source: Death sentence imposed in Bridgeport triple killing. Please add him to the article. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 15:58, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
It is possible that Eduardo Santiago needs to be removed from the Connecticut list. Here is some information:
Santiago, Eduardo — Santiago had been condemned to death on January 31, 2005; [1] he was convicted of capital felony and murder charges after shooting Joseph Niwinski in the left temple as he slept in his West Hartford apartment on December 14, 2000. Prosecutors said Santiago carried out a murder-for-hire scheme in which he agreed to kill Niwinski in exchange for a broken snowmobile and his credit card debt being paid off. [2] However, the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned Santiago's death sentence on June 4, 2012, and ruled that the trial judge, Elliot Solomon, failed to disclose "significant and relevant" mitigating evidence for jury consideration when they had decided to send Santiago to death row in 2005. The court let Santiago's conviction stand and ordered a new trial. [3]
I am not sure if the new trial (on the penalty) has yet been held. I suspect not. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 16:48, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Guilt 1.6% of death row prisoners since 1972 have been exonerated.
Should noted that included in this number are people that were convicted and sentenced to death before 1972? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:1:E237:1D14:B1CC:CDC9:E60E ( talk) 19:50, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
There have been over 150 exonerations from Death Row since the reinstatement in 1976, and more all of the time will be coming.

At the time of this writing, one of the death row inmates listed within California's list is Skylar Preciosa Deleon. However, as far as I can tell, Skylar Preciosa Deleon is not (at the time of this writing) listed within the source cited for California's section ( [1]). Are we sure that Skylar Preciosa Deleon is still on death row in California? Heart of Destruction ( talk) 17:10, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Okay, but, at the time of this writing, I cannot find any mention of her having changed her name to Skylar Maciel within the Murder of Thomas and Jackie Hawks-article. Heart of Destruction ( talk) 14:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Today, Tiffany Cole was retried and sentenced to life in prison, but her co-defendants, James Michael Jackson and Alan Wade, still remain on death row.
