Ralph Northam addresses a joint session of the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond, Va., on Jan. 8, 2020. Virginia’s use of the death penalty dates back over 400 years to 1608, when Jamestown settlers carried out the first recorded execution in the then-European colonies. In the centuries since, amid periods of slavery, Reconstruction and Jim Crow segregation, Virginia has executed hundreds of people; since 1976, Virginia has executed 113 people, a higher percentage of death row inmates than any other U.S. state, and the highest number of state executions second only to Texas.
