List of people executed in Alabama (pre-1972)
The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Alabama prior to 1972, when capital punishment was briefly abolished by the Supreme Court's ruling in Furman v. Georgia. For executions after the restoration of capital punishment by the Supreme Court's ruling in Gregg v. Georgia (1976), see List of people executed in Alabama.[1][2]
Background
Historically, all executions in Alabama were performed locally by hanging. On March 1, 1927, hanging was officially replaced by electrocution.[3] The state's new electric chair, nicknamed "Yellow Mama" for being painted bright yellow, was installed in an official execution chamber at Kilby Prison.[4] It was built by Ed Mason, an English cabinetmaker serving a long sentence there.[3]
