Ways your state can kill you

Here are some examples:

• Missouri:  Authorizes lethal injection or lethal gas; the statute leaves unclear who decides what method to use, the inmate or the Director of the Missouri Department of Corrections.
• Alabama:  Effective 7/1/02, lethal injection will be administered unless the inmate requests electrocution.
• Idaho:  Authorizes firing squad only if lethal injection is "impractical".
• Florida:  Allows prisoners to choose between lethal injection and electrocution
•  New Hampshire: Authorizes hanging only if lethal injection cannot be given.
•  Washington: Provides that lethal injection be administered unless the inmate requests hanging.
•  Utah: Lethal Injection is the sole method of execution. Firing squad was chosen by some inmates prior to the passage of legislation banning the practice, and is only available for those inmates.
•  California: Provides that lethal injection be administered unless the inmate requests lethal gas.
