Arizona prison complex whose Central Unit is the state’s execution site and whose history spans hanging, lethal gas and lethal injection.
Role in the death-penalty system
Arizona states that all executions are performed in the Central Unit at ASPC-Florence.
The Florence execution site has a history reaching back to the early twentieth century, including hanging and lethal gas.
Joseph Wood’s prolonged 2014 lethal-injection execution connects the facility to the modern botched-execution archive.

As the archive expands, additional executions and prisoners can be attached without turning the facility page into a loose list: each connection is kept as a structured, source-bound relationship.
