Yes, Indiana USA

Indiana has had 151 executions, 150 for murder and one for rape. All 151 were men. 117 were white, 31 black, and three unrecorded race (probably white). 72 hangings, 62 electrocutions, and 17 lethal injections. The state death house is located at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, IN.



Indiana is also home to the Federal death house, located at the United States Penitentiary at the Terre Haute Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, IN. Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma City Bomber) was executed by Lethal Injection here.
