Annual Reports

The ICADP produces the state's leading report on capital cases, costs, and all issues related to the death penalty in Illinois and nationally. Archives of past annual reports are available for download (PDF).

ICADP will publish a new report, expected in the spring of 2010, with the finding that ten years after the moratorium, there is no way to reform capital punishment without the risk of executing innocent people and incurring enormous costs to taxpayers. The answer is abolition.
