Federal Executions Set To Resume After Nearly 2-Decade Hiatus
Only three federal executions have taken place since 1988. Four prisoners are scheduled to be executed over the next two months.
After nearly two decades, the federal government will once again begin executing criminals, the Justice Department announced Monday. Four convicted child-murderers are set to be put to death by lethal injection.
"The four murderers whose executions are scheduled today. "We owe it to the victims of these horrific crimes, and to the families left behind, to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."
