1910s

On June 19, 1910, governor Jared Y. Sanders passed Act No. 61, House Bill No. 24, ordering that all executions were to take place at the state prison in Baton Rouge. Hugh Connerly was the first person to be hanged at the state prison under this new law. The law was repealed in 1918, the last of the 35 hangings at Baton Rouge being that of Jim Bell and Preston Miles, and executions returned to local settings until 1957 (see Electrocution).[318][319][320]

Electrocution

On June 24, 1940, the Louisiana Legislature voted 80-7 to pass a law officially replacing hanging with electrocution, and electrocution was officially adopted on August 6, 1941. Rather than establishing a single execution chamber, the state's electric chair, known as "Gruesome Gertie", was moved as needed to parishes where the condemned had been sentenced. In 1956, another law was passed which centralized executions at the state penitentiary, and the electric chair was subsequently installed in a newly built execution chamber on May 21, 1957.[502][503][504]
