Under Georgia law, there are three offenses that are punishable by death. Those crimes are murder, rape, and kidnapping. Of the 109 currently under death sentence, 108 were convicted of murder and one was convicted of kidnapping. There are currently 59 (64%) white men and 49 (36%) black men under death sentence. There is one white female on death row at Metro State Prison. Twenty-four percent serving time on death row report a high school education, and seventeen percent report some college. Fifty-five percent of these inmates report living with both parents during childhood.

Of the 84 inmates that reported employment status at the time of incarceration, 50% were employed at the time of arrest. Forty-six percent of the active death row inmates are single with an average of one child. When looking at

prior incarcerations, 66% of the active UDS inmates have no prior incarcerations. Cobb County is the county with the highest number of convictions on death row, followed by Chatham, Baldwin, Fulton and Muscogee counties.
