Washington is one of two states that still allows the condemned to choose hanging as an option to lethal injection. Only two inmates have chosen that method since the Supreme Court lifted the moratorium on capital punishment in 1976:

Westley Allen Dodd ("the volunteer"), in January 1993
Charles Campbell, in May 1994

New Hampshire reserves the right to use hanging if lethal injection proves impractical, but has not hanged anyone since executing Howard Long, in July 1939. Long was also the last person executed in New Hampshire, which reinstated the death penalty in January 1991 but seldom uses it.

No, Wisconsin does not have the death penalty. The state has only executed 1 individual in the history of Wisconsin. They do allow life sentence without parole.
