Capital punishment in the Bahamas
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Capital punishment in the Bahamas is a legal punishment, and is conducted by hanging at Fox Hill Prison.[1] The country is currently considered abolitionist in practice, as their last execution was over 15 years ago, on January 6, 2000.[1] As of August 2012 only one convict, Mario Flowers, remains under the sentence of death.[2] Since independence from Britain, it has held more than a dozen executions.
