  15. U.S. Executions Since 1976 Since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, 1,064 convicted murderers have been executed in the United States. (As of March, 2007) Of those executed, 11 were female. (The last was Frances Elaine Newton in Texas on September 14, 2005). Of those executed, 22 were under the age of 18 at the time of the murder. (The last was Scott Allen Hain in Oklahoma on April 3, 2003). Of those executed, 613 (58%) were white and 367 (34%) were black. Of those executed: 895 (84%) were executed by lethal injection, including 409 of the last 413 executions.153 were executed by electric chair (The last was Brandon Hedrick in Virginia on July 20, 2006).11 were executed by gas chamber (The last was Walter LeGrand in Arizona on March 3, 1999).3 were executed by hanging (The last was Billy Bailey in Delaware on January 25, 1996).2 were executed by firing squad (The last was John Albert Taylor in Utah on January 27, 1996). Executions were held in 32 different states: 385 (36%) were in Texas and 17 were in Indiana. There are currently 3,344 on death row. Only 50 are women. After suspending executions in Illinois, this is one of the reasons Gov. Ryan gave.

In 1977, Oklahoma became the first state to adopt lethal-injection legislation. Five years later, Texas performed the first execution by lethal injection. Of the 37 U.S. states that have a death penalty, 34 use lethal injection as the primary form of execution. The U.S. federal government and the U.S. military also use lethal injection.
