Short Statement: The NPS-8 data collection is based primarily on individuals under sentence of death. During 2005 death row admissions dropped for the third consecutive year: the 128 persons admitted to death row during 2005 was the lowest number since 1973, when 44 persons were put on death row. This has contributed to a decrease in the number of NPS-8 forms which are completed each year. The number of persons on death row on December 31, 2005, was 3,254. This was the fifth consecutive year that the number of prisoners under a sentence of death declined. Changes in both the number of admissions to death row and the number of persons under sentence of death from one year to the next will result in a corresponding change in the annual response burden.
