Scope and content:

Materials focus on CJPC's efforts to help bring about a moratorium against the death penalty (eventually passed in 2003). Contents include information about the death penalty, news articles, correspondence, contact lists, voting lists, fact sheets, flyers, pamphlets, resolutions, and legislative materials. Much of the information centers on the status of capital punishment in North Carolina though there are items related to other places. There is also a news article about Lao Rubert and CJPC's efforts to bring about the moratorium and CJPC's alternative penalty programs.
