Till before 1997, the ruling Monarch had the Priviledge to give a "Pardon from Death" to an individual given a death sentence who'd ask for mercy. But the Supreme Court ruled this Privilege null and void on grounds of violation of Judicial Independence and also observing that Courts had been recommending Solitary Confinement as the "next GoTo punishment" which was 'unnecessarily harsh and the cost incurred by the State was more than the spite for vengeance and worth of the said individual's life'.

 Prybourne 1890 2015 n/a Should capital punishment become necessary (such as for going on strike), the preferred method is defenestration from the top of the Tower of Commerce. Not only is the forty-story descent effective, but it allows those in the Sacred Marketplace below opportunities to place wagers on where the condemned will land. Capital punishment is sanctioned in Prybourne for certain federal and military crimes, and used in 7 states. While there are 7 states which include capital punishment within their sentencing statutes, some states (such as Newley and Wildespell) have yet to execute anyone since 1976, as demonstrated by the lack of any executions by these states out of the 1317 total executions which have taken place as of December 5, 2015. No executions took place from 1967 to 1977, owing in part to a Prybourne Supreme Court ruling striking down arbitrary imposition of the death penalty. In 1976, that Court ruled that, under appropriate circumstances, capital punishment may constitutionally be imposed; since the decision there have been more than 1,300 executions, a majority of these taking place in three states: Woodland , Bydale, and Bysummer.

Additionally, state courts in Vertcoast and Springlea struck down death penalty statutes and their legislatures took no action in response.
