Mississippi Gov. Barbour denied clemency for 62 year old white male , Paul Everette Woodward who raped and murdered a 24 year old youth court volunteer in 1986. He has been on death row at Parchman since 1987. He had no visitors in quite awhile and none were at his execution by lethal injection.
Miss. Gov also denied clemency for 72 year old Gerald James Holland, another white man sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a 15 year old Gulfport girl . He is the oldest death row inmate in Miss. and will be executed tonight at 6 pm.
This is the first back to back executions in Miss. for almost 50 years.
Although this subject is contraversial and creepy. Look at the facts.
What do you believe we should do?
Cost of execution: $14,000 +
Cost of death row case from trial to execution : $1.26 million
Median coast of non death row case from trial to end of incarceration: $146,000+
Average cost of prisoner for one year: $65,000+
Prisoners are the only population that gets mandatory medical/dental care
