New Hampshire
Since 1734, 24 executions have been conducted. Since 1868, all executions have been conducted at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men in Concord. New Hampshire allows execution by lethal injection, although hanging is available if lethal injection is impractical; the state has no death chamber as its last execution was in 1939. A bill to repeal the death penalty was vetoed in May 2000 by then-Governor Jeanne Shaheen; subsequent attempts have not left the legislature.

Famous quotes containing the word hampshire:
“Not even New Hampshire farms are much for sale.
The farm I made my home on in the mountains
I had to take by force rather than buy.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Anything I can say about New Hampshire
Will serve almost as well about Vermont,
Excepting that they differ in their mountains.
The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;
New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
