Lethal gas. Lethal injection. Murder. Nevada State Prison was no stranger to death. Considering more than 40 of the state’s most dangerous criminals were executed or killed there, there’s also strong speculation that this haunted Nevada prison is no stranger to evil spirits.
Opening in 1862, Nevada State Prison was the state’s only designated facility for executions during the 20th century. The prison carried out the nation’s first death sentence by gas chamber in 1924 and Nevada’s first death sentence by lethal injection in 1985.
