- Electrocution, where an electric chair restrains the inmate while an electrical current passes through his or her body.
- Gas chamber, which has a chair located inside the airtight chamber, to restrain the prisoner while he or she is asphyxiated with lethal gas.
- Firing squad, which has a chair which both keeps the inmate still while he or she is shot with rifles by the executioners, and also collects the bodily fluids that spill out of the inmate's body following the execution.
