Hanging isn't used in some states considering that some think that it is a cruel and unusual punishment.

PA only uses the Lethal Injection.

While others may use Hanging, Gas Chamber, Lethal Injection, Or Fire Squads.

Little do they know that one person on the Fire Squad has a blank charge causing the sound to be made but nothing coming out of it.

Hope this helped.
