      Death Row Inmates.png There are currently Eight men on Death Row in Indiana, according to the Indiana Public Defender Council. When a prosecutor files death penalty charges in Indiana, that decision comes with a hefty price tag, some costing taxpayers more than $300,000.

      The state has imposed 97 death sentences since 1977; about two-thirds saw their cases overturned or died before being executed, according to the Public Defender Council.Photo by: WRTV Michael Dean Overstreet Michael Dean Overstreet
