Form of capital punishment (8,5)

I believe the answer is:

electric chair

(Other definitions for electric chair that I've seen before include "Death row destination?" , "Execution apparatus" , "US form of execution" , "A shocking method of capital punishment!" , "shocking American killer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
