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 The law was repealed in 1918, the last of the 35 hangings [226] at Baton Rouge being that of Jim Bell and Preston Miles, [227] and executions returned to local settings until 1957 (see Electrocution).

Electrocution

On August 6, 1941, Louisiana's official execution method was changed from hanging to electrocution. Rather than establishing a single execution chamber, the state's electric chair, known as "Gruesome Gertie", was moved as needed to different parishes. Executions continued to be performed by local authorities until May 21, 1957, when the chair was moved to a designated execution chamber at Angola Penitentiary. [369]
