Capital punishment has been abolished in the U.S. state of Maine since 1887. There are twenty-one recorded people executed in the state of Maine between the years of 1644 and 1885. Ten of these executions were carried out before statehood (gained on March 15, 1820), and eleven after. Hanging was the only method of execution carried out in the state. All but two executed people were males, sixteen were white, two were Native American, and three were African American. Twenty of the twenty-one people executed were convicted of murder with only one man being executed for treason.

- Jusqu'en 1885, le Maine utilise la pendaison comme mode d'exécution des condamnés à la peine de mort. Celle-ci est abolie par l'Assemblée législative en 1876 par 75 voix contre 68, mais avait été rétablie en 1883. Elle est définitivement abolie en 1887, deux ans après la dernière exécution le 21 novembre 1885 de Daniel Wilkinson, condamné pour le meurtre d'un officier de police au cours d'un cambriolage. La lente agonie de Wilkinson est alors une des raisons mises en avant par les abolitionnistes pour soutenir que la peine de mort était une pratique inhumaine. (fr)

| - Capital punishment has been abolished in the U.S. state of Maine since 1887. There are twenty-one recorded people executed in the state of Maine between the years of 1644 and 1885. Ten of these executions were carried out before statehood (gained on March 15, 1820), and eleven after. Hanging was the only method of execution carried out in the state. All but two executed people were males, sixteen were white, two were Native American, and three were African American. Twenty of the twenty-one people executed were convicted of murder with only one man being executed for treason. 40-year-old escaped convict, Daniel Wilkinson, was the last person executed in Maine. He was hanged on November 21, 1885 for the murder of police constable William Lawrence. The death penalty in Maine was officially abolished in 1887 after his slow strangulation gave the anti-death penalty movement in Maine enough support. (en)

La lente agonie de Wilkinson est alors une des raisons mises en avant par les abolitionnistes pour soutenir que la peine de mort était une pratique inhumaine. Un projet de loi a été présenté par l’Assemblée législative du Maine pour rétablir la peine de mort en 1925 sans suite. Il y a eu d’autres tentatives pour rétablir la peine de mort dans l'État en 1937, 1973, 1975, 1977 et 1979, mais aucune mesure législative n’a été prise suite de ces tentatives. (fr)
