Federal Government to resume Executions
[Headline from DRJ]
Trump Justice Department to resume federal executions:
Attorney General William Barr has directed that executions for five death-row inmates be scheduled. If carried out, they will be the first federal executions since 2003.
Only three federal executions have taken place since 1988, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. All five of the death-row inmates named in Thursday’s release were convicted for the murders of children.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has adopted a regulation that will require federal authorities to use a single drug, pentobarbital, in federal executions, according to the DOJ release. That drug is used by several states for lethal injections.
The names of the five inmates are in the DOJ Press Release, and I think this is a list of federal inmates on death row.

Ninth Circuit: “Where is the floppy disc with the multiple stay orders we used in the Robert Alton Harris case?
ACLU: “The inmate’s lack of a pony as a child warrants a short stay of approximately 10 years, until the psychological ramifications of the deprivation can be explored.”
New York Times: As Ramsey Clark explained in “Crime in America,” law abiding people are really responsible for crime.”

So, I’m disappointed that Barr as agreed to this.
