Youths on Death Row:

Napoleon Beazley
Napoleon had no prior criminal history and was just 17 years old at the time of his offense. He was sentenced to death for murder. There had been a call for his sentence to be commuted to life in prison – it was denied.

Reggie Clemons
Many of Reggie’s claims have never been heard in a court of law because of procedural rules that have barred the presentation of important evidence. After reviewing the evidence, two federal judges voted to overturn his death sentence and found that Reggie was denied a fair trial. But Reggie’s sentence of death remains.

Save Michael Perry
“My name is Michael Perry. I am a 27 year old young man, writing my story, from a Texas Death Row Cell. I’d like to tell you about an injustice so severe, that it might cost me my life; So let me begin…”

Scott Hain
Scott was 17 years of age at the time of his arrest for the murder of Michael Houghton and Laura Sanders. Because he was a juvenile at the time of his crime, his execution would be contrary to American standards of justice.

Jones, 25, was executed by lethal injection on 8th August in Huntsville, Texas for the carjacking murder of a 75-year-old man.
