Raiford's correctional institution in Florida
Florida is set to carry out the execution of a 74-year-old inmate, Dennis Sochor, later this month, making him the oldest person on Florida’s death row to be executed. He would join an 80-year-old slated for execution; Florida has already carried out nine executions this year, the busiest pace in the nation. The scheduled deaths highlight the aging death row population in Florida and raise questions about the execution process and timing.
