Description

The letters DCADP, standing for Dallas Coalition Against the Death Penalty, hovers over a logo image of an electric chair, injection needle, pills, a bullet, and an ax. All of these items are included in a circle that appears to be inspired by the rope used to hang inmates. The rope and objects depicted inside of its circle are crossed out with a diagonal bar. Underneath the logo is the former address of the coalition as well as a tribute to the creator of the emblem: Robert Eames is a prisoner at Ellis 1. Though he is not on death row, he contributes this emblem to the DCADP.
