The state of Oklahoma started practicing the death penalty in 1915. Oklahoma was the first state to adopt the method of executing by lethal injection and passed the current death penalty laws in 1977. Prior to this method, the main method of execution was electrocution; however, one inmate was executed by hanging. In 2014, there had been 195 inmates executed in the State of Oklahoma, one by hanging, 82 by electrocution and 112 by lethal injection. The current execution method in the state is still death by lethal injection, however these executions were halted after a failed execution of an inmate, Clayton Lockett, in 2014. The last inmate to be executed in the state of Oklahoma was Charles Warner in 2015. There are currently 47 people on death row in Oklahoma today, 46 men and one woman. Most inmates were found to be between the ages of 19-40 when they committed the crime that put them on death row, together making up 83% of the total inmates that are on death row. Data also shows that the races of the inmates on death row are primarily African-American and Caucasian each making up 44.7% of those on death row. However, this information is contrasted by the data that shows while Caucasians make up 72% of the overall population in Oklahoma, African-Americans only make up 7.3% of the population in the State. Many of the victims of Caucasian inmates were of the same race and demographics, with the percentage of white on white murders being about 45% of the murders that landed the inmates on death row. Differentiating from the murders being in the same racial and demographic profile, many of the inmates who were African-American had victims of a different race, making up 11% of the crimes of the 47 occupants on death row. An interesting new ruling, McGirt v. Oklahoma (2020), stated that crimes by Native Americans on the eastern portion of the state of Oklahoma (Native American lands that were never fully disestablished) falls into the jurisdiction of the tribal cour...
