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 The law was repealed in 1918, the last hanging at Baton Rouge being that of Jim Bell and Preston Miles, ^[137] and executions returned to local settings until 1957 (see Electrocution). ^[138]

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 was moved as needed to different parishes and 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. ^[191]

Many electrocutions that took place between 1941 and 1957 are poorly documented, as they were largely handled by local authorities outside of the signing of death warrants by the state governor, with state records often mentioning little more than the defendant's name, crime, parish, and date of execution. ^[191]
