Louisiana is restarting death penalty executions next week for the first time in 15 years, using nitrogen gas to execute Jessie Hoffman. Here's a look at who else is on death row in the state.

A New Orleans-area group decries the state’s efforts to use nitrogen gas to execute death row inmates because, members say, such a method echoes the Holocaust.

The United State Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has sided with Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Office in overturning the injunction against Jessie Hoffman’s execution.

Louisiana has attempted "to give the blessing of religion" onto its death penalty practices, says Sister Helen Prejean. Still, she says the two cannot coexist.

Louisiana death row inmate Jessie Hoffman is one step closer to his execution, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
