Abolish the Death Penalty has a rundown of some of the best anti-death penalty blogs out there, so I thought I would share it with you:
Against Death Rows.
This blog is maintained by a woman from Germany named Britta. It tells the story of life on Florida's death row through the eyes of one person who lives there. This blog took a hiatus earlier this summer, but now I see Britta is back posting.
Amnesty International's Death Penalty Blog.
This blog was just launched. It's mainly a collection of news stories. What AI offers that other blogs don't, however, is an international perspective.
Capitol Defense Weekly.
My friend Karl and I still aren't sure if this qualifies as a blog -- but if you follow the legal ins and outs of the death penalty, Capitol Defense Weekly is an indispensible read. As the name suggests, it is updated weekly with a full report of that week's important court rulings.
Central Pennsylvania Abolitionist
. As the name implies, a blog dedicated to the death penalty debate in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania one day is going to be one of our key states.
Fight for Bobby.
This blog has been abandoned, evidently on the advice of Robert Fratta's lawyers. Fratta lives on Texas' death row.
Joe D'Ambrosio: Innocent on Ohio's Death Row
. The name says it all. This blog appears to be updated somewhat frequently.
Lonely Abolitionist
. Work lately has forced Lonely Abolitionist to take a brief hiatus, although sometimes she still blogs. Sad, becauase this is my favorite death penalty blog and it really helps when I can steal her stuff!
Meet Vernon
. Life, and questions asked and answered, through the perspective of a person on Maryland's death row.
Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty
. The blog of Alabama's leading anti-death penalty group. Updated frequently.
Sister Helen Prejean's blog
. Sad to say, this hasn't been updated since early this year. Sad, because this one has the potential to be the best anti-death penalty blog out there. Check out the bells and whistles!
