| 520 | |a By end December 2005, more than 1,000 men and women had been put to death in the United States of America since executions resumed there in 1977. Dozens of these people had histories of serious mental impairment, either from before the crimes for which they were sentenced to death, or at the time of their execution. Some had mental retardation, other suffered from mental illness, and some were diagnosed with both. For some, the diagnosis of mental disorders caused by appalling childhood abuse, prison violence, or their experiences as soldiers sent into combat by their government. For others, mental illness appears to have been inherited. For some of those executed, years on death row had led to mental health problems or exacerbated existing ones. Mentally ill inmates are among the more than 100 people since 1977 to have dropped their appeals and "consented" to their own execution, a death wish made possible by a state all too wiling to see freedom of choice for such individuals carried through to its lethal conclusion. | ||
