People executed in Idaho

The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Idaho since capital punishment was resumed in 1976.

Three men have been executed for murder since the Gregg v. Georgia decision; all three were executed by lethal injection at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, east of Kuna.[1] Wells' execution in early 1994 was the first in the state in over 36 years, when Raymond Snowden was hanged in October 1957; the next was over 17 years later (November 2011).
