Alfred P. Southwick

American dentist

Alfred Porter Southwick (May 18, 1826 – June 11, 1898) was a steam-boat engineer, dentist and inventor from Buffalo, New York.

He is credited with inventing the electric chair as a method of legal execution. He was also a professor at the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, now known as the State University of New York at Buffalo.

In 1881, Alfred Southwick conceived the idea of electrical execution when he heard the story of an intoxicated man who touched a live electric generator.

Given that the man died so quickly, Southwick, a Quaker, concluded that electricity could be used as an alternative to hanging, making executions more humane.^[1] His first application for this phenomenon was to help invent a way to euthanize stray dogs at the Buffalo SPCA, but within a year he was publishing his ideas on using this method for capital punishment in scientific journals.
