With 2,400 people on death row and executions up in the last year, the debate on whether the death penalty should still exist in the United States in the 21st Century is back in the spotlight.\r\n\r\nA campaign promise from President Joe Biden’s campaign to “help” end capital punishment and a moratorium on federal executions have done little to slow down executions in some US states. Recently, Oklahoma announced plans to execute about one person a month from now until December 2024.\r\n\r\nOn UpFront, Sister Helen Prejean, an anti-death penalty activist, Catholic nun, and spiritual advisor to those on death row, joins Marc Lamont Hill to discuss capital punishment in the US.\r\n\r\nSubscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe\r\nFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglish\r\nFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera\r\nCheck our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/\r\nCheck out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/\r\n\r\n@AljazeeraEnglish\r\n#Aljazeeraenglish\r\n#News
