Capital punishment in Laiatan
| This page is a work in progress by its author(s) and should not be considered final. |
In the Laiatanese Federation, capital punishment - colloquially referred to as the death penalty - is a legal sentence in all fifteen provinces, the federal district, and the federal civilian and military legal systems. The applications of the punishment are limited by the Fifth Amendment to the Laiatanese Constitution to aggravated murders by mentally competent adults, terrorism, treason, espionage, and genocide.
Capital punishment was a form of punishment for violent felonies under Laiatanese common law, and it was enforced in all Laiatanese legal systems. The methods of execution and the crimes subject to the death penalty vary by province and have changed over time. The most common methods since 1983 have been lethal injection, firing squad, and hanging.
In 2015, 16 inmates were executed by the provinces and federal government, and 352 inmates were on death row.
