Faces of Nevada’s death row

Nevada’s death row houses dozens of inmates who were found guilty of first-degree murder in cases with at least one “aggravating circumstance,” such as another felony conviction.

Some of the condemned have killed multiple people, including children. Others ended the lives of elderly victims. Some shot police officers or strangers, while others stabbed someone they knew.

They await execution by lethal injection inside Ely State Prison. Some have been waiting for decades.
