not in the USA.
In the colonies, perhaps they did in the part of the USA that once was Spanish controlled. In the New England colonies, they used hangings. You can kill someone with the rack, but it was used for torture, not execution. If anyone died on the rack, it was not the intent to execute them.

THE BRITS USED IT UP UNTIL 1628. THE RACK WAS USED IN THE DAYS OF THE INQUISITION. NEVER IN THE U.S.A. FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
