Abstract
The last statements prior to execution of 331 inmates on the Texas death row from 1982 to 2009 were examined using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count computer program. African Americans and Hispanic Americans had more words related to positive emotions and feelings than did Euro-Americans, whereas Hispanic Americans had more words related to religion. The similarities in their last statements outweighed the differences.
