The last person to be hanged in Cornwall was Joseph H. "Jock" Smith, who was executed on August 12, 1909, for the murder of his wife, Mary. The execution took place at Bodmin Jail, which was the last prison in Cornwall to carry out hangings. Smith's case marked the end of capital punishment in the region, as the practice was abolished in the UK for murder in 1965.
