Do Death Row Inmates get to choose their method of execution (such as by firing squad, lethal injection, electric chair, etc)?

To my knowledge, there is no choice in the method. The method is actually written into the statutes which allow for capital punishment. The only time the inmate would have a choice if the law provided for that such as some states allowing a choice between lethal injection and firing squad for instance, or some other methods. Without such a provision written into the law the prisoner is stuck with a method written into the law for that state.
