Most of the world has banned capital punishment. The United States, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea are the only established democracies in the world that still conduct executions. Decreased homicide rates have been observed in many countries that have abandoned the death penalty. Yet the U.S. continues to punish by hanging, poison gas, electrocution, firing squad, or lethal injection.

Political posters give witness to prisoners’ existence, inform the public about their status, mobilize support on their behalf, and prevent them from being forgotten by future generations. "Dead Wrong" illustrates, quite simply, the sad reality of capital punishment in America.
