The Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty (CNADP) has been working to abolish the death penalty in Connecticut since 1986. We stand strongly opposed to the death penalty as it is poor public policy. The death penalty does not deter crime, it is not cost efficient, it kills the mentally ill, it is economically and racially biased, it kills the innocent, and it does not provide closure to families - it is simply revenge, not justice.

Dr. Antoinette Bosco to speak in New Haven on Jan 8
The Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty will be sponsoring an event featuring Dr. Antoinette Bosco, author of "Choosing Mercy: A Mother of Murder Victims Pleads to End the Death Penalty." Bosco is a long-time human rights activist, syndicated columnist for the Catholic News Service, and author of over 10 books. She will be speaking on how, despite suffering the pain of losing a son and daughter-in-law to murder, she rejected the death penalty in favor of forgiveness. Please come out for what promises to be a powerful discussion of the role the death penalty plays in our society, from a true expert on the issue. The event will take place on Thursday, January 8th, at 7:30 PM at New Haven Christ Church, 84 Broadway, New Haven, CT. Read more... |
