Florida’s death penalty system is a brutal, broken machine built on injustice, racial bias, and political spectacle. Under Governor Ron DeSantis, executions have surged despite overwhelming evidence that the system is deeply flawed, expensive, and lethal to innocent people. This “justice” targets poor communities and minorities disproportionately, while wasting taxpayer money and destroying lives.

 

The death penalty is not justice. It’s state-sponsored murder dressed as law.

Shocking Facts About the Death Penalty in Florida : 

 

 

  • Since taking office in 2019, Governor Ron DeSantis has aggressively pushed for fast-tracking executions, signing more death warrants than any Florida governor in decades, often ignoring pleas from legal experts and human rights organizations.

 

  • Florida leads the nation in death sentences overturned due to wrongful convictions; nearly 40% of death row inmates have serious evidence questioning their guilt.

 

  • The recent bill limiting public records access related to death penalty cases reduces transparency, making it more difficult for journalists and activists to investigate potential miscarriages of justice.

 

  • Florida’s restrictive post-conviction review rules clash with emerging legal tech tools that could help uncover wrongful convictions, but state politics refuse to embrace these modern solutions.

 

  • The state spends over $51 million annually on the death penalty, nearly double the cost of life imprisonment without parole. This diverts crucial funds from education, healthcare, and crime prevention.

 

  • Black Floridians are executed at four times the rate of white Floridians, reflecting deep-rooted racial injustice in sentencing and trial procedures.

 

  • Florida’s death penalty system routinely ignores defendants with severe mental illness or intellectual disabilities, violating international human rights law and U.S. Supreme Court rulings.

 

  • The state’s appeals system is notoriously restrictive: death row inmates face prolonged, harsh conditions with extremely limited access to meaningful post-conviction review.

 

  • DeSantis uses the death penalty as a campaign tool, promoting “tough on crime” rhetoric in an era where polling shows increasing public support for reform and abolition nationwide.

Florida legalized faster executions and less access to evidence. Why? To kill poor people more efficiently. Welcome to the DeSantis death machine.

Ron DeSantis isn’t governing. He’s playing God. Rushing executions while blocking DNA evidence is not “law and order”,  it’s premeditated state murder.
#BloodOnHisHands #AbolitionFlorida

🔴 Tweet 3
Florida executes Black men with broken trials, no DNA testing, and racist prosecutors, then says “justice was served.” If that’s justice, we need to burn the system down.

🔴 Tweet 4
What do you call it when the state speeds up executions, hides the files, and blocks new evidence? In Florida, they call it “justice.” Everywhere else, it’s called a cover-up.
#StateCorruption #AbolitionFlorida

🔴 Tweet 5
We don’t need more laws to execute faster. We need more courage to say: THIS SYSTEM IS BROKEN. Florida’s death row isn’t justice, it’s America’s moral graveyard.

🔴 Tweet 6
Imagine killing someone because you're afraid to look weak in an election. That's what DeSantis does every time he signs a death warrant.
#DeathForVotes #AbolitionFlorida

🔴 Tweet 7
Florida silences the condemned, buries the evidence, and calls it "closure." It’s not justice. It’s state-sanctioned revenge.
#RevengeIsNotJustice #AbolitionFlorida

🔴 Tweet 8
Every execution in Florida should come with a label:
“This person may be innocent. We just don’t care.”
#DeadWrong #AbolitionFlorida

🔴 Tweet 9
Florida doesn’t execute murderers. It executes the poor, the Black, the broken, the unlucky.
And DeSantis signs it all with a pen dipped in blood.
#ThisIsNotJustice #AbolitionFlorida

🔴 Tweet 10
Florida’s death penalty is a lottery of horror:
Bad lawyer? Dead.
Hidden evidence? Dead.
Wrong skin color? Dead.
But no one’s ever too rich to fry.
