DOVER — As Delaware’s Supreme Court weighs whether 12 men sentenced to death should be spared from execution, prison officials have quietly disbanded the state’s death row and moved its former occupants to other housing.
Prison officials say the move, which occurred in August, resulted in former death row inmates having five times more recreational time than they had before, and in some cases, sharing cells with other inmates who are not facing the death penalty.
“It’s gone well,” Department of Corrections Commissioner Robert Coupe told The Associated Press this week. “Some of the inmates initially preferred not to interact … but we continued to work with them through our behavioral health folks and eventually all of them were moved out of what was formerly known as death row.”

Cowards.
The death penalty obviously is not the deterrent that it once was. Young thugs don't care, they are willing to die on the street so they will be remembered as an OG.
What a shame
They don't kill enough of them in a timely manner to be a deterrent.
F***ing COWARDS!!! I am sick of this liberal freaking country. If they are on Death Row then it needs to be executed as quick as possible. If anyone complains then execute them!

You are an idiot!! There aren't enough executed to be a deterrent. Rarely, I said rarely do any of them get the death penalty.

GA has executed the most people this year, ahead of TX, but 2 cops were just shot in GA a few days ago. Deterrent? I don't think so. There is no need to call me names just because you are wrong and not smart enough to realize it.
