AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
The ACLU is against the death
penalty based upon the fact that they find it "unfair and unjustifiable." Their page on the death penalty is kept well-updated
with the latest news on the death penalty from across the United States. Additionally, they examine different aspects
of the death penalty, from juvenile executions, to the execution of people with mental retardation, to the feasibility of
a moratorium.
