Rush to Kill

The U.S. government’s sole execution chamber is on the grounds of a prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. Isolated from its general population, 44 condemned men are held in the Special Confinement Unit, or America’s death row. In 2020, the Trump administration launched a spree of executions, killing 13 condemned Americans in quick succession. A team of public radio journalists covered each execution in person.
