There are currently 74 death row inmates (all male) sentenced as juveniles constituting about 2% of the total death row population. 35% of these juveniles are in Texas. 17 men have been executed for crimes committed as juveniles since 1976. The states of Virginia and Texas are responsible for the seven executions of child offenders in the USA since 1997. Four prisoners whose crimes were committed when they were under 18 years of age were executed in 2000 in violation of international law. They are: Douglas Thomas and Steve Roach were executed in Virginia on 10 and 13 January respectively; Glen McGinnis was executed in Texas on 25 January; Gary Graham (Shaka Sankofa) was executed in Texas on June 22. Alexander Williams, a mentally ill prisoner who was under 18 at the time of the crime, was 48 hours from execution in August in Georgia's electric chair when the state Supreme Court granted a reprieve, pending its decision in a separate case as to whether that particular mode of execution is constitutional. Alexander Williams would have been the fifth child offender executed in the USA this year, more than in any year since 1954.
