  27. <p>Prisoners reported under sentence of death by civil authorities. The term "under sentence of death" begins when the court pronounces the first sentence of death for a capital offense. As a result of a major procedural change, beginning 1978, all data except executions are not strictly comparable to corresponding data in 1975.
