Woody Overton and Jim Chapman tell a couple of crazy stories and give you the overall history of Louisiana State penitentiary at Angola's most famous piece of furniture, Gruesome Gertie.
What was the form of execution prior to the electric chair, who was the first person to "ride the lightning" on Gruesome Gertie and the story of the only convict to survive an actual execution via Gruesome Gertie are all discussed in this episode!
