 The last location for the execution chamber was at Green Haven Correctional Facility.Capital punishment was reinstated in New York in 1995 when Governor George Pataki signed a new statute into law, which provided for execution by lethal injection.On June 24, 2004, in the case "People v. LaValle", the New York Court of Appeals struck down the statute as unconstitutional under the New York Constitution (at the time, only two individuals were under a sentence of death).
