What is the average time served in the US? And how do you count death sentences?
- hackeraccount 6y agoI take your point about the death penalty but it's application is extremely if not unusually rare in the US. I think around 20 people were executed last year.
- alphabettsy 6y agoThat’s because it can’t be carried out in many places, not because they haven’t been sentenced.
