Connecticut recently repealed capital punishment, the fifth state doing so in the past five years. So far, seventeen of the fifty states have eliminated the death penalty. In most states that have it, the number of inmates on death row is larger than the number of executions since 1976, given the various levels of appeal and the non-negligible chance of executing innocents. Exceptions are Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Virginia and, unsurprisingly, Texas.
