 The Catholic bishops of Ohio have signed an ecumenical letter calling for a moratorium on executions while problems surrounding the state’s death penalty are studied and addressed.
In late June, they endorsed and individually signed the letter that will be sent to Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and other judicatory heads in the future.
“We join the many Ohioans questioning our state’s death penalty system, which has consistently shown to be ineffective, unfair and inaccurate,” the letter reads. “The death penalty not only applies disproportionately to the poor and to people of color, but also continues to make fatal mistakes, with 123 people — including five from Ohio — now free from death rows across the country due to evidence of innocence.”
In the letter, the bishops and other faith leaders express concerns that the death penalty fails the families of murder victims by prolonging their pain through the long process of appeals and reversals.
They also voiced “unease” that capital punishment cases costing millions of dollars divert funds from other needs.
“The valuable resources that are expended to carry out death sentences would be better spent investing in programs that work to prevent crime, such as improving education, providing services to those with mental illness and putting more law enforcement officers on our streets,” they write.
