Texas primarily uses lethal injection as the method of execution for individuals on death row. However, the state also allows for the use of alternative methods such as the electric chair for those who select it as their preferred method of execution.
Brittany Holberg's execution date has not yet been set. She currently is still on Texas's death row.
It doesn't have anything to do with the Death Rows where people await execution, and everything to do with Death Row Records. Basically, a Death Row chain is a piece of bling. It's a neck chain with a pendant in the shape of the Death Row Records logo. Apparently all the rappers on Death Row Records had them. What makes it notorious is someone tried to steal Tupac's from him shortly before Tupac was murdered.

Do you mean died by execution, or died while waiting to be executed? If it's the former, 15,269 people, between 1608 and 1991; I don't think the missing 17 years should increase the total count by much. If it's the latter, I have no idea. **Since the Death Penalty was reinstated in 1976 there have been 1200 people executed. The last execution was on 3/30/2010.
