The Marshall Project couldn't find any tools providing detailed information on upcoming executions. So they built one. The Next to Die defaults to showing the next scheduled execution in the United States, but users can also browse by specific state (including Missouri, where execution rates are surging) and, from the intro page, view racial and method-of-execution breakdowns for executions to date.

Thanks for this post. It should be noted that Richard Glossip's case is a very high profile story right now.

Man, if Barry Switzer can't get at least a temporary stay in Oklahoma, those are some bloodthirsty motherfuckers.

So, wait. Richard Glossip is going to be executed because the actual murderer said that Glossip told him to do it? And that was their only evidence?

How do you get a conviction out of that? That's just crazy.

I swear to god, if this happens, we need a mechanism to put the state on trial for murdering one of its citizens.

The Intercept also posted an article about Glossip that is worth sharing: Time is Running Out for Richard Glossip

The Marshall Project has a good blog, if the issue of criminal justice in the US interests you. Some positive notes, and many darker and angering entries, but it's well done IMHO.

Oklaholma DA calls attempt to exonerate Richard Glossip "a bullshit PR campaign"
“All they are trying to do is abolish the death penalty in the state of Oklahoma and this country by spreading a bunch of garbage,” Oklahoma County district attorney David Prater told the local Fox 25 TV station after attending Monday’s press conference.
What.

In a brief order, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals had decided to "reset" Glossip's execution to Sept. 30 in order to consider a last-minute petition his lawyers filed the day before. The decision to delay the execution in order "to give fair consideration to the materials included" spared Glossip from lethal injection for a third time.
