Baker character's internalization & discovery of circumstances:
Lena Baker/Connie Winston monologue stills:
Death sentences and executions for female offenders are rare in comparison to such events for male offenders. Stats for women and the death penalty in the U.S. -
* women account for about 1 in 10 (10%) murder arrests;
* women account for 1 in 50 (2.1%) death sentences imposed at the trial level;
* women account for 1 in 67 (1.8%) persons presently on death row; and
* women account for 1 in 100 (.9%) persons actually executed in the modern era.
Lena Baker was executed by electrocution in 1945 with no proper burial.
