Former soldier Louis Jones is scheduled to be executed on 18 March 2003 in the United States Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana. He was convicted in October 1995 of the abduction and murder of a 19-year-old US Army private, Tracie Joy McBride, in February of that year. Louis Jones would be the third federal death row prisoner to be put to death in the Terre Haute penitentiary. Amnesty International is calling for the commutation of his death sentence.
