I am an ESL student. I am doing an essay about capital punishment. I
need to know which state in the United States has capital punishment.

Hello tamsui,

Here is a list of all 38 states that allow the death penalty, and the
current number of inmates for each. It also has a few extra statistics
that may come in handy with your research. The U.S. Military, and the
Federal Government are listed as well.

Death Penalty Info by State
http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/DRowInfo.html

I'll list them here for reference as well:

Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maryland
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
North Carolina
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
Washington
Wyoming

This page will come in handy as well. It lists all the inmates
executed since 1976, executions by race, and much more information you
may be able to use.

I also found a list of states that *don't* have the death penalty. It
easy to figure them out from the other list, but it's easier to see
them in writing.

Somehow New York escaped my list. New York practices capital
punishment as well, but my resources show no executions since 1963.

Thanks again -
