Too Old to Kill
by Jeff Hood
An argument, built case by case, that the country is now executing people so old and so ill that the killing has slipped past any remaining pretense of purpose. Hood documents the men the state is putting to death in their seventies and eighties, decades after their sentences, and asks what the death penalty is still for.
Proceeds from this book fund the Execution Intervention Project — legal work, clemency campaigns, and direct support for people on death row.
