Imagine you are an attorney general and your name is Baker in a state with the electric chair.

In 1995, I was a Permanent there, a trustee inmate for the prison, working in maintenance. We were able to listen to some of those tapes. They were NOT in a secure area. We, Inmates, got our hands on them and listened to some of them. When they executed Charles Devier in 1995, the morgue was covered in blood and saline solution that we cleaned up, that they left. No one can dispute my experience and what I saw there.

My old childhood friend was murdered by a bunch of kids who lacked discipline from their lazy parents just to prove a point they are big. As a result my life long detest and hatred of capital punishment has disappeared, unfortunately the death penalty isn't an option where I live. I may change my mind in the future, but 2 months on my anger is still present so I have no sympathy for anyone on death row or being executed (unless they are innocent).

Let's be a bit more accurate. The current goes through the electrodes, not the chair. The chair itself is a restraining device; the head and calf electrodes are what delivers the fatal current.

What that judge didn't realize is that until about 35 years ago (1982, specifically), electrocution was long considered the most humane method of execution used in the United States; it wasn't until the early 1980s, when chemicals for lethal injection were introduced, that states began making a move towards injection.

They shouldn't be killing anyone in any way. Them killing these murders makes them no better than the murders.

The state of Georgia says that the tapes were made to prove that procedure was followed. My question is why not use video tape? It is a more accurate method of recording what really happens rather than a cassette tape. Also it does not allow for a cover up to take place if there is a problem with the execution. I am not saying that executions are wrong. What I am saying is that the method of recording the event makes little to no sense and certainly was out dated at the time they were made. It sounds alot to me like somebody did not think this through.

Yes, although not exactly. The closest thing to what you are describing, was the execution of Willie Francis, in Louisiana. In a portable electric chair that was wired wrong, he survived the first attempt. Battered, bruised, and burnt quite badly, he survived, this only bought him a year‘s worth of time, though. There is a big question on his guilt, and he may have been posthumously pardond. he was successfully executed the next year, in the same chair, wired correctly this time. The chair itself had a name, gruesome, dirty.

i hate when they say 'Jesus forgave me' or something to that effect..salt in the wound to the families of the victim.

Kane16802 Then, don't kill 'em. "Death by incarceration", instead. I mean, think about it: short of a summary execution, we're basically locking him up for life, until we have him killed. Why not skip the killing part? Another consideration: We have the death penalty because we believe that the condemned value their life as much as we value our own (a poor assumption by both parties) but by the time of execution, the condemned is already resigned to his fate and the value of his life to himself and the state is zero. So we're taking away nothing of value and gaining nothing of value. So what's the point?

OK let the child rapist and murderers just do whatever they want then take care of them for life...........insane!

I am the wife of the warden portrayed(Turpin) although Tony carried out his job duties to commend Ward and Turpin for his service to the state of Georgia and it was basically because he did two executions back to back that’s what they told him to do he said to schedule for the same day in and especially really trying really hard on whoever carries out the procedure so it takes a lot out of the execution team I know but there’s another interview I’ve seen where Tony has been asked if he supports capital punishment and death by execution and he’s position was “ it’s not a matter of subjectivity or what I want. I satisfying my job duties …what is demanded of me according to my job detail period.” At the same time it was Tony who set out to explore more “humane” “fail-proof” options to carryout the state of Georgia law and came back presenting his findings on lethal injection. Regardless that it is not done in accordance with anyone of the teams desires it still Carrie’s an emotional and mental toll on them and that is whether one admits it to another or not. It is my personal opinion and experience that it is an event or subject mainly avoided by them and if one did address it they won’t allow emotion to enter or anything .it is only acknowledged superficially with a 20 foot pole. I always said it takes a part of them every time they. Must carry out their order according to the law. That’s something I don’t thing the community at large takes into consideration . No matter what your position, taking another’s life will affect you to some degree. Just saying

But we do it humanely to show that we, unlike them, are compassionate, respect human dignity no matter the person, and in order not to go down to their level of evil and cruelty. In other words, it seems we execute them humanely more for our own sake than for their sake of not feeling pain, etc. And it sounds weird, doesn't it? :)

You know, some may say "Oh, but these killers were abused as kids and so they were made like that. It's not their fault" etc. etc. I beg to differ. Even if a killer was abused as a child, they did have the freedom to make their own choices to make their lives better, not worse. We often see that they may start killing animals, stealing, pyromania, drugs... They themselves made those choices. And eventually they end up murdering. They can't be excused. A person must take control over their life and not let it spiral out of control. And there's professional help available, too. I hope this makes some sense. Thanks.

Nobody has the right to take another person's life. The 6th Commandment says "Thou shall not kill". And that applies to everyone, including Governments. Execution is an act of barbarity which demeans the human race. It is nothing more than legalized murder. Those who authorize it or take part in it have blood on their hands and ought to be ashamed of themselves. Some day, they will have to account for their actions before God. I pity them.

There appears to be far too much sympathy leveled at the condemned,not much focus on the sometimes horrific deaths visited upon the victims,so it can sometimes take more than one jolt to kill,that's still an easier way out than the victims ever had.

Aren't those people against the death penalty sickening ? Poor, poor murderers get so much sympathy - that one clown took 19 minutes to die, boo who !!! How long did his poor victim suffer. So many against the death penalty don't care and they are as reprehensible as the murderers.
