Commute the Row, Demolish the Death Chamber & Abolish the Death Penalty
To: Pres. Biden
From: A constituent in Springfield, VA
November 11, 2024
Thank you for signaling clearly that your administration will not allow executions of federal prisoners to continue. In addition, I urge you to:
* Commute the sentences of those currently on federal and military death rows;
* Deauthorize all pending federal capital trial cases and establish guidelines prohibiting authorization of any new death penalty prosecutions during your administration;
* Rescind the lethal injection protocol; rescind the “Manner of Execution” regulation that took effect in December 2020; rescind internal DOJ guidelines on litigating death row cases that took effect in December 2020
* Order the Federal Bureau of Prisons to demolish the federal execution chamber and the building in which it is housed at the Federal Correctional Institution at Terre Haute
