As of February 2021[update], there have been 393 executions in Ohio's history. Before 1885, executions were carried out by hanging in the county where the crime was committed. The Northwest Territory's first criminal statutes, also known as Marietta Code, date from 1788, 15 years before Ohio's statehood in 1803. These statutes did not ensure yet an...
Hanging
Only 28 people were ever executed by the state of Ohio via hanging before the state switched to the electric chair in 1897. "That the mode of inflicting the punishment of death in all cases under this act, shall be by hanging by the neck, until the person so to be punished shall be dead; & the sheriff, or the coroner in the case of the death, inability or absence of the sheriff of the proper county, in which the sentence of death shall be pronounced by force of this act, shall be the executio...
Electric chair
Ohio switched its method of execution from hanging to electrocution in 1897. Thomas Edison, a resident of Akron, Ohio, as well as New York, New Jersey, and Michigan, directed his employees to develop the electric chair. Edison felt that the electric chair would be less cruel than hanging. However, a prisoner's bones were set on fire during Edison's prison demonstration.[citation needed] "[O]n the 10th day of March 1938, the said Warden shall cause a current of electricity of sufficient intens...
Lethal injection
Lethal injection was the most recent method of execution in Ohio. Over the years, the state of Ohio has used several methods of lethal injection, culminating in the two-drug combination of midazolam and hydromorphone. The dose of midazolam starts at triple the dose used for sedation for office procedures, and the hydromorphone dose is a 150-to-500-fold overdose for parenteral analgesia in opioid-naïve patients.

In the case of a hung juryduring the penalty phase of the trial, a life sentence is issued, even if a single juror opposed death (there is no retrial). The power of clemency belongs to the governor of Ohio, after receiving a non-binding recommend...
