Most states that have a death penalty have two methods of execution for the inmate to choose at least 30 days prior to the execution date, or he will receive the primary method. Some states have only one method and that's what they use. One method the states that have two methods is always lethal injection, which is usually the primary method. Some states don't allow you to choose, especially if the current method was used at the time that inmate was convicted. For example if you are convicted in Florida of a capital crime for which you get the death penalty after January, 2000, you will receive lethal injection. If you were convicted before that you can choose the electric chair or lethal injection. If you can but don't make a choice at least 30 days prior to your execution date you will receive lethal injection. Some states allow you to choose your method regardless of conviction date, others have only one method. You cannot choose a method of execution that's not available in that state.

How does death penalty condemn the innocent to die?
The death penalty is the death penalty. It condemns no one. It is a legitimate judicial act of the State. On the other hand, juries condemn people. Juries are part of the judicial system. Juries react to evidence and lawyers' pleadings and questionings, an arguably subjective process. Innocent people die because the judicial system is not perfect and juries and district attorneys and public defenders are fallible. Whenever people are in the loop, there will be errors. On the other hand, there are some people in our society who take lives, commit unspeakable crimes, and need to be held accountable for them. It is for them that the death penalty is reserved, and for whom it is highly appropriate.
