Montana lawmaker seeks prison execution site for Walsh
In Helena on January 13 Representative N Jotrary of Jefferson proposes a measure to move all future executions to the state prison under the warden. The bill aims to save Jefferson county money by avoiding local hanging expenses for Roy Walsh, sentenced to be hanged February 14 for a Silver Bow county murder. The measure would limit witnesses to 12 and place execution oversight with the prison warden, but Walsh’s existing sentence under current law means the Deer Lodge prison plan hinges on passage and governor approval.
