The original death penalty law in Oklahoma called for executions to be carried out by electrocution. In 1972 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional the death penalty as it was then administered. Oklahoma has executed a total of 167 men and 3 women between 1915 and 2008 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. Eighty-two were executed by electrocution, one by hanging (a federal prisoner) and 87 by lethal injection. The last execution by electrocution took place in 1966.
