§ 1016 Warden's return upon death warrant.

After an execution takes place, the prison warden has to send a written report back to the court that issued the death sentence. This report acts like an official record confirming the execution happened.

The report needs to include three key details: when the execution took place, what method was used, and how it was carried out. This creates a formal paper trail showing the court's judgment was actually carried out as ordered.
