The condemned man has exhausted his appeals but is likely to seek a clemency plea.

In his first address to Congress since returning to power, President Donald Trump is calling on lawmakers to expand the federal death penalty to include mandatory executions for murdering a police officer.

A Republican-authored bill to abolish — or at least alter — Indiana’s death penalty law is gaining traction.

Faith leaders and a bipartisan group of lawmakers gathered Monday at the Statehouse to rally support for a measure to repeal Indiana’s death penalty.

Sometimes referred to as the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” the officially named U.S. Penitentiary Florence Administrative Maximum Facility is considered America’s most secure prison.

Convicted murderer Joseph Corcoran told the high court justices he did not want to pursue further appeals and instead wishes to be executed on Dec. 18, as scheduled.

Death row spiritual advisors are struggling to support the prisoners to whom they minister – and each other – amid fears President-elect Donald Trump will restart executions.
