3 states are set to hold executions on the same day, a first in the US since 2010

Tennessee, Alabama, and Oklahoma plan to execute inmates on the same day this Thursday. This event marks the first time since 2010 that three US states have held executions on the same date. Additionally, eleven states executed 47 people in 2025, the highest total since 2009. By 2026, 19 executions have already occurred across four different states, reflecting a significant trend in the application of the death penalty within the United States legal system.
