Answer The purpose of their hanging before the sunrise is to not identify or know who they are; there are also fewer potential onlookers at a dark and early hour, making the execution more solemn and private.


Answer Some cultures may have adopted the practice of hanging before sunrise for religious reasons. This is specified in some parts of the Old Testament, in the Bible, which scholars believe was intended to allow time for the body to be prepared for burial later the same day.

In the United States, people were hanged in broad daylight in some parts of the country well into the 20th century, with executions often drawing large crowds of onlookers. According to Steven Kaplan, in his paper "Why Death is Different: Minnesota's Experiment with Capital Punishment," (see Related Links) state and county officials became concerned about the impact of witnessing hangings on the morale of the citizens.
In 1889, Minnesota passed "Smith's Law," specifying the condemned was to be hanged "before sunrise," to prevent the public from being exposed to the depressing impact of the death penalty. Some states followed suit, but others continued to allow daytime public executions into the 1930s.

Kaplan writes:

"This statutory effort to protect the public's psyche from the negative effects of executions included the following restrictions:

1. All hangings would take place before sunrise while most people slept.
2. The execution would take place within the walls of the jail or within an enclosure higher than the gallows.
3. The only persons who could attend the execution were the sheriff and his "assistants," the clergy or a priest, a physician, three persons designated by the condemned prisoner, and six others designated by the sheriff.
4. The press was forbidden from attending executions and could not report publicly anything more detailed than the fact that on a particular date the prisoner was executed."

Answer

Every state has its own laws on how and what time they carry out the death penalty. These decisions made by lawmakers, are influenced by factors such as crowd and media control.

Answer This is a tradition, not a hard rule. The idea is that it allows the prisoner the opportunity to get a night's sleep and be fully rested and therefore most relaxed; and does not have to wait all day for the end.
