|The death penalty in Cartadania was first used as a punishment during the overthrow of Cartadania's first government in the [[Ano Roxo]]. It had been used throughout the years usually in extreme crimes and during upscale wars. While legal for many years, the Department of Justice had recommended it be phased out in favor of other methods in the early 2010s. Progress towards abolition had stalled in the early years of the 2020s, however, failing to make it completely to the Senate floor due to lack of interest. In 2025, however, the Supreme Court struck down the use of capital punishment in Cartadania as "Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority." and consequently ordered Congress and all states to comply. As a result, as of 12:01AM local time on 1 January 2026, all usage of the death penalty has ceased. Any person who was on track to be executed (a minute amount) has been returned to their normal holding.

Progress towards abolition had stalled in the early years of the 2020s, however, failing to make it completely to the Senate floor due to lack of interest. In 2025, however, the Supreme Court partially struck down the use of capital punishment in Cartadania as "Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority." and consequently ordered Congress and all states to comply. Consequently, as of 12:01AM local time on 1 January 2026, most usage of the death penalty has ceased, and people who were on track to be executed (a minute amount) have been returned to their normal holding. This provision, however, does not apply what is referred to colloquially as "Class 0 felonies" (e.g., genocide, use of deadly weapon in a public place like a school, or severe foreign acts of war), so the status is called into question. Despite this, the country is considered to be an abolitionist.
