The Arizona prison that holds the state's death chamber will be closed in a cost-cutting move. It is not clear where executions will take place after Florence Prison is closed.
Gov. Doug Ducey announced the closure of a state prison during his annual State of the State address to lawmakers Monday. A press release from his office said Florence Prison would be closed. By shutting down the prison and transferring inmates to different facilities the state will save hundreds of millions of dollars over the next three years, the release from the governor's office said.
