Capital punishment has been used in the US since 1608. The primary method today is lethal injection, which involves injecting three drugs to cause unconsciousness, paralysis, and cardiac arrest. Other historical methods include hanging, electrocution, firing squad, and gas chamber. Crimes punishable by death include murder with aggravating factors like torture. Some have been wrongly executed, and there are debates around its consistency with human rights. Capital punishment laws and practices vary internationally.
