Top Ten Facts

1. Pancuronium Bromide prevents execution members from knowing if the inmate is in pain, since he can't speak or move. Potassium Chloride is reported to cause excrutiating pain as it burns through the veins, so pain is almost eminent.

2. Currently there are no states with an integrated resorative justice program which would allow convicted murderers to pay for their own incarceration or even to make restitutions directly to the survivors of their victims.

3. As of 1992, 23 legally innocent people have been executed in this country (known today to be innocent)

4. The time on death row has increased to 51 months, while actually only 8.2 percent were actually executed.

5. In 1961 Jamse French strangled his cell mate in order to speed up his own execution along.

6. After the execution of John Spenlelink, homocides increased in Florida by 14 percent.

7. Surveys indicate that 84% of all homocides are motivated by the murderer's intent to exact retribution for some real or imagined offense committed by the victim.

8. In contrast to the United States, nations such as England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Israel, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Ecuador do not possess the death penalty. Those who do possess the death penalty Russia, China, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Cube, Chile, and Saudi Arabia.

9. J.J. Johnson confessed on his deathbed that he killed Wesson, and in retribution the state gave Brown $2,492 in $25 monthly payments.

10. Twenty-two years after being jailed and put on death-row, Purvis was found to be innocent and given $5000 in retribution.

These are good quotes. However, I am not familiar with the people you are referring to. In your researcher paper, you should be more specific as to who these people are. Also, in your country fact, the last sentence is a fragment and there are spelling errors. Just thought I'd let you know. Otherwise, good work!
