It’s December 18th, 2024. In the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, a guard approaches one of the 200 cells in Death Row and finds a prisoner inside, sitting on the edge of his bed. It’s 3 p.m. Kevin Ray Underwood has 24 hours left to live.

Not every state in the US allows – or uses – the death penalty.

The ones that do all have different execution protocols. But generally speaking, the timeline features similar events with slight differences in the details. These protocols can take months of preparation—all so that the day of execution is well… perfectly executed.

This is what happens in the last 24 hours on Death Row.
