Florida executes prisoners at a record pace, even as most other states and the federal government have largely moved away from capital punishment, according to coverage from ProPublica and Longreads. The reporting describes Florida as an outlier nationally, carrying out executions more frequently than in prior years and more than other jurisdictions. While the rest of the country trends toward limiting or abandoning the death penalty, Florida continues to conduct executions, drawing attention to how the state’s pace compares with national practices. Both outlets frame the issue as part of a broader shift in the United States: executions are increasingly rare, but Florida remains active. The articles also situate the executions within the larger debate over capital punishment’s status, noting that the national landscape has changed while Florida’s rate of carrying out sentences has not. Overall, the sources emphasize the contrast between Florida’s continued use of executions and the broader move away from them across the country.
