After being sentenced to death, Westley Allan Dodd was sent to Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, Washington until his sentence could be imposed. Dodd refused to appeal his conviction and sentence. He had the option of choosing either lethal injection or hanging as his method of execution. He chose hanging because he wanted to experience what Lee Iseli had experienced. He told people “I must be executed before I have an opportunity to escape or kill someone within the prison. If I do escape, I promise you I will kill and rape and enjoy every minute of it." Westley Allan Dodd was executed on January 5, 1993.
