“…Social support for CP has changed over the last few decades, and questions have been raised as to whether this punishment is viewed as a deterrent. DeMatteo et al (2015) determined that in 2012, 63% of Americans supported CP. In choosing a sentence of life without parole over of CP, 47% of Americans tended to support the former while 46% remained in support of CP (DeMatteo et al, 2015).…”

Last statements have been a common practice as part of capital punishment as far back as the 1300s in Europe. In the United States, the first execution occurred in 1608, and currently, 32 states have the death penalty. In 1991, Missouri integrated death row inmates into the general prison population, which makes this population unique compared with other death row populations across the United States. This article is a qualitative study on the themes found in the last statements of 46 capitally punished inmates in Missouri from 1995 to 2011. The purpose of this study was to determine if capital punishment inmates being housed in the general population had an impact on an inmate's last statement prior to execution. Three domains emerged from these last statements: life, death, and execution. The most common theme identified was love while the least common theme was acceptance. The themes found in this research were consistent with previous studies which looked at inmates executed in Texas where inmates sentenced to capital punishment are separated from the general prison population. Implications, limitations, and future research areas are discussed.
