I have not been able to ascertain specific U.S. Federal prisons holding inmates on death row; but, according to one Internet site I have visited, four states, California, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania are holding one-half of the 3,254 inmates awaiting execution on state charges.

There are many more death sentences handed down by the 50 states than there are by the Federal Government. Federal death sentences are few, and are usually relegated to those who commit crimes targeted toward Government facilities; i.e., the attack on the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Currently, there are only about 50 inmates who are serving death-row sentences in the Federal prison system.

Wherever the 3,254 state death-row or 50 Federal death-row inmates are residing, you can be assured of one thing: each one is provided, under law, with legal representation. You, me, and every law-abiding citizen will be paying for their food, lodging, dental, medicine, and education.

Before 1963, all federal death row inmates were executed in various state facilities. After that, there were three executions, 2 in 2001 and 1 in 2003 (all by legal injection); all of them were conducted in Terre Haut USP (United States Penitentiary (federal prison)), in Indiana.
Currently there are 43 federal inmates on death row. They are all in Special Confinement Unit at USP Terre Haut, in Indiana. Timothy McVeigh, one of the executed in 2001, was executed at the Terre Haut.
