Louisiana governor signs bills that expand death row execution methods and concealed carry

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry approved 11 bills Tuesday, including expanding death row execution methods, concealed carry of a gun without a permit and legislation that effectively eliminates parole for most jailed in the future.
The governor’s ceremony of signing bills into law follows a short crime-focused special session where the GOP-dominated Legislature passed a slew of policies, which will overhaul elements of the criminal justice system in a state grappling with one of the highest rates of incarceration and violent crime in the country.
“Today we sign these bills to start to make Louisiana safe,” Landry said Tuesday.
Among the bills signed by Landry is legislation that adds the use of nitrogen gas and electrocution as methods to carry out the death penalty.
Despite 58 people currently sitting on Louisiana’s death row, an execution has not been held since 2010. Like most states that have capital punishment, Louisiana has relied on lethal injection. But amid legal battles and challenges over the drugs involved, some states have explored other methods.
Proponents of expanding the allowed execution methods say it’s past time for the state to uphold “contractual obligations” between victims’ families and the state. Opponents question the legality of the proposed methods, saying they could amount to cruel and unusual punishment.
During Louisiana’s two-week-long special session, lawmakers spent a portion of that time debating sweeping changes that could determine how long certain incarcerated people remain in prison and when, or if, they would be allowed a second chance at freedom.
One bill, signed by Landry Tuesday, effectively eliminates parole for anyone convicted after Aug. 1, with few exceptions — including groups for whom it is constitutionally required, such as those who were sentenced to life terms as juveniles. The governor also approved a measure that reduces the amount of “good time credit” that prisoners can accumulate to shave time off their sentence.
Supporters say the new laws will reduce instances of inmates only serving a “fraction of their sentence” and, hopefully, decrease recidivism. Critics say the legislation won’t deter crime, will cost the state millions as it continues to house inmates who could be paroled, and could create less incentive for good behavior and involvement in programs designed to help former inmates succeed in the outside world.
Landry also signed a bill allowing residents 18 and older to carry a concealed handgun without a permit. The law will go into effect July 4.
Among legislation awaiting Landry’s approval are proposals to increase the penalty for carjackings, treating 17-year-olds who commit a crime as adults and publishing court minutes for youth accused of violent crimes. A second signing ceremony is scheduled to occur Wednesday afternoon.
Spurred by violent crime plaguing urban areas in the state, Louisiana’s debates during the special session echo conversations happening in statehouses across the country — including over how long someone should go to prison, how to handle juvenile offenders and if and when those incarcerated deserve a second chance.
Republicans say Louisiana’s Legislature-approved bills prioritize victims and will keep criminals behind bars and off Louisiana streets. Democrats say most of the measures won’t address crime and that lawmakers needs to take a holistic approach, including additional funding and programs to address drug addiction, improving outcomes for prisoners who re-enter society, and allocating more money for mental health and education.
Landry says there is still much work to be done to better Louisiana, including improving education, the economy and additional measures to tamp down violent crime.
“This package of bills is just the beginning,” Landry said. “I want to make sure that everyone understands... this is not just a one and done.”
Lawmakers won’t have to wait long for another chance to address issues effecting the state — with the Legislature scheduled to convene next week for Louisiana’s three-month-long regular session.
He could have vetoed the bill, which would have caused one of two things:
1. The bill would have never passed
2. The bill would have passed with a congressional majority overriding the veto.
The elected LA State legislature and Governor just legalized slavery for the disproportionate amount of Black citizens convicted of crimes, but remember....

I love New Orleans and the Essence Festival, but I don't think I will ever go back. 65% of all LA prisoners are Black and folks still don't care about voting
Got damn NO PAROLE is insane.
It really is....
Last time Louisiana voted blue was 1996.
Our recent Democratic governors have Kathleen Blanco and John Bel Edwards, both of whom were conservative democrats.
This state is solid red the only blue is going to be New Orleans, Baton Rogue and Shreveport.
Wait so misdemeanor or felony it doesn't matter. And what if you're jut walking minding your business and they slap Jay walking on you
And John Bel damn sho didn’t seem like a demoRat
It sounds like Louisiana needs some Nat Turners....
The amount of niggas in New Orleans repeating Tariq Nasheed's hold your vote bullshit is scary, you mix the Nasheed devotees with the idiot Saints fans who decided to take a trip to Houston for a Saints' loss the next day instead of voting that Saturday night is even scarier.
Tariq Nasheed is the Black Pat Robertson and similar to how Robertson (along with Jerry Falwell and others) turned conservatives into one-issue voters when it comes to abortion, Tariq is trying to do the same thing with Black folks and reparations and while I think that all ADOS should get reparations, it's not the only issue, especially when you're living in a state is easily the most vulnerable place in Hurricane alley. Ask Tariq Nasheed about coastal protection, drainage and hurricane protection and all that closeted fag will do is roll his eyes, sigh and hang up on you.
Did these niggas forget Hurricane Ida? A Katrina-level storm that moved SLOWLY and sat over the city for hours and did not lose power once it hit landfall because the "land", that is the wet lands and coast in Louisiana are so weak and torn up?
So this is what we have.. A cajun cooyon about to use the governor's mansion and Trump's playbook to further his political career, while you're getting your life locked or swept away.
Hell, New Orleans might be in the drink before end of the century.
nah its for parole breh....Wait so misdemeanor or felony it doesn't matter. And what if you're jut walking minding your business and they slap Jay walking on you
you not getting parole for a misdemeanor unless youve done something else crazy
what this means is that you gonna sit for your entire sentence...
this is not a state to get into any shit....somehow though it still wont stop crime
this is just one of those politician promise things to get elected...he promised that he was tough on crime...we all know this wont stop anything
Well my friends, once again we see that voting does not matter.

Ok Baretta
Louisiana has always had some of the harshest sentencing laws and has one of the highest incarceration rates in the WOLRD, not just in the US, but the world.
Are Baton Rogue and New Orleans ranked as some of the safest cities in the world?
I’ll have to look it up but I think LA is one of the southern states that the State Republicans have veto proof majorities in both houses.
Yep. I was correct.
Election results, 2022: State legislative veto-proof majorities

The NFL PA, NBA PA and Essence Festival Organizers needs to boycott the state. ADOS members need to STFU.I love New Orleans and the Essence Festival, but I don't think I will ever go back. 65% of all LA prisoners are Black and folks still don't care about voting
Got damn NO PAROLE is insane.
Louisiana is a whore for tourism and big events.
if the NFL or NCAA starts to grumble, this state will bend over, pull it's skirt up and full right in line.
Chuckles… Why? The coming against this would’ve been when Gary Chambers was running. The coming out against this would’ve been before this bill was passed in the House.
basicallly. you will have to do whatever time you were sentenced to. and louisiana, you are doing hard time.
most sentences are parole eligible. for example, lets say, 10 years, eligible for parole in 5 years. now it will be straight 10 years.
Around 33% (1/3) percent of the that State's population is Black and they have to endure new slavery laws. CRAZY.
