This is What happens to the body of a death row prisoner after being executed

The body may be claimed by a relative or even a friend, who is willing to arrange for burial or cremation. Theoretically there is an order of priority as to who may claim the deceased, but in fact the great majority are claimed by no one. Competition is rarely if ever an issue




If no one claims the body, it will be transferred to a nearby funeral home. Depending on the State, the body will be prepared for burial or for cremation. Whether the ashes or the body is to be buried, an urn or a casket will be returned to the prison. The remains will then be buried in a cemetery, typically on the prison grounds.

A simple, surface-level headstone will be provided, typically listing the deceased’s name and date of death, and his prison number. There may also be a designation if he was a military veteran. There will be no indication that he was executed, nor what crime(s) he was convicted of.

Frankie Howerd was the master of innuendo. Now secret tapes reveal protests over his smuttiness drove him to drugs

The bizarre home of comedian Frankie Howerd has been ­frozen in time since his death two decades ago. The life-size painting of Howerd over the fireplace, the 3D portrait of Elvis Presley, the gold velour sofa where the comic died . . . it is as though the house is waiting for Frankie to return. And no wonder, for he was the king of ­miraculous comebacks. Fifty years ago, Frankie ­Howerd stood up to give what he believed would be the last performance of his career. The former bill-topping star of hit radio shows, beloved by millions, had been left behind as the age of TV took over. Unable to get even the worst end-of-the-pier jobs in comedy, by 1962 Howerd had decided to chuck it all in and run a pub with his business partner (and secret boyfriend) Dennis Heymer. Howerd resolved to make just one farewell appearance. It was a performance that was to revive his popularity, putting him back on the path to national stardom. Now, thanks to an incredible cache of ­recordings found at Howerd...

A bizarre moment when protesters glued themselves to the window of a shop on London's Oxford Street.

Extinction Rebellion protesters have blocked Oxford Circus in London, the site of one of the group’s most famous occupations, as women took the lead on the third day of its latest campaign of disobedience. Just before 2pm, protesters swarmed into the middle of the intersection between Regent Street and Oxford Street, London’s busiest shopping district, and erected a pink structure and sound system. Police charged into the road to seize the structure and were then surrounded by female protesters. Women who spoke to the Guardian claimed officers trampled them as they rushed to secure their cordon. The Metropolitan police said as of 6pm on Wednesday, a further six had been arrested for a “variety of offences”, bringing the number of arrests made over the course of the protests to 196. Helen, 58, from Devon, who declined to give her surname, said: “They climbed in the middle. We had no intention to surround the police. Our intention was to protect what’s inside our ring, our circle. We all...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
