Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : States generally prohibit citizens from attending executions, so the media becomes the public's watchdog, providing important information about how the government is following the law and using taxpayer funds.
42% : Indiana's resumption of executions is refocusing attention on Corcoran's case and questions about how the state has been able to obtain a drug for lethal injections.
40% : State officials said they couldn't continue executions because a combination of drugs used in lethal injections had become unavailable.
39% : No media can witness Indiana executions Indiana is one of only two states, along with Wyoming, that do not allow for members of the news media to witness state executions, according to a recent report by the Death Penalty Information Center.
