Justice activist groups are leading a panel discussion about the impact of the death penalty in Alabama.

Alabama is set to carry out the nation’s second execution ever using nitrogen gas after becoming the first state to use the new procedure in January.

Death row inmates in five separate states are set to be put to death in the span of one week. If carried out as planned, the executions in Alabama, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas will mark the first time in more than 20 years that five executions were held in seven days.

The state of Alabama is asking a judge to deny defense lawyers’ request to film the next execution by nitrogen gas in an attempt to help courts evaluate whether the new method is humane.
