Gov. Jeff Landry (R-LA) appeared to hint on Wednesday that death row executions could be making a return to the Pelican State.

Executions have been missing as a part of Louisiana justice since 2010, but Landry committed himself during a press conference to maintaining “contractual obligations” between his state and the families of victims following death sentences, according to a report.

“I have committed myself to those families because I have sat in front of those families. I have listened to those families from all over the state,” the governor said. “They deserve their day of justice. That is what the jury has granted them.”

“I and the Legislature … are going to fulfill our commitments.”

As it stands, roughly 60 people are placed on death row in Louisiana, yet myriad legal battles and shortages of lethal injections have stalled executions, according to the report.

Not a single one is currently scheduled.

Landry’s comments come in the wake of the nation’s first execution via nitrogen gas in Alabama and a resurgence of states considering various execution methods, including firing squads.

“States around us are finding ways and methods in order to execute those who have been tried, and convicted, and sentenced to death,” Landry said.

The governor also repeated, Wednesday, his intention to call a special legislative session this month to address crime, the report noted.

Capital punishment is expected to be considered during the session.
