Hi, peer reviewing. This article is interesting because it is so important to understanding the prison system. Including more of the history of "death row" and the death penalty would be interesting. Also including how federal, and state courts and prisons deal with death row could add another layer of information. Including how outside society views death row as well as how people who have gotten off death row discuss their experiences would be cool too. Desiraeb (talk) 00:33, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi, also peer reviewing! What you have stated in your talk and sandbox page looks good. It may be interesting if you can find more on which communities were targeted the most with death row. I also think there should be more history of death row and the death penalty. I know there were some historical failures for prisoners on death row so maybe including those would be interesting. Overall, I think what you plan on adding looks good! Melissaglvn (talk) 02:26, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Hey There! I would focus a lot on the history of this type of capital punishment. Maybe find some unusual court cases of those who ended up not with a death row sentence (I know they do exists). I saw there was a section on this type of punishment in other countries, so you could think about why certain countries do or do not still have this type of punishment. It is a pretty short article, so you have a lot of freedom to explore. Happy editing!

Sara's Peer Review
Hello Sara,

This is a good article to review and a very interesting topic. I like that you chose this article as it has not been extremely developed and allows you to do with it what you will. The article could be expanded and trivialized by looking at racial breakdowns. Though the article looks at gender it does not necessarily consider race. By looking at race you could be neutral in your writing and still point out the racist ideologies and sentiments that permeate the American prison system. You could also discuss how the more stereotypical Black features one has the more likely they are to be placed on death row. You can find this information in the essay book that we read in MHG's ES 301. Additionally, you could discuss the uniqueness of the American prison system and their continued use of capital punishment in comparison to other countries. Overall, I think this is a great article to add to and I think you could contribute a lot to this essay by bringing in a racial element. KasiahsMom (talk) 22:25, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
