If you survive your execution, lethal injection and electric chair somehow, this is what they will do with you




It has happened. I know of at least two instances. The first was a man who was put in the electric chair. This was in the 1950s. Something went wrong and the jolts he got weren't enough to kill him. The horrible truth is, they took him back to his cell, where he received medical attention, had electricians work on the problem until it was diagnosed and repaired, then brought the prisoner back to the chair, strapped him in and ran the juice through him again.

This time did the trick. He died. In the account I read, the prisoner was quite hysterical after the botched first try, and became even more hysterical as he was brought back out. Nice, huh?

The second was a man more recently. It was to be a lethal injection, but try as they may, they couldn't get the IV started. A doctor called in said it was probably a physiological reaction to fear that caused the veins to shrink below the skin so much, no one could get a needle into one.

After almost 90 minutes of trying, the prisoner undergoing numerous needle sticks and "needle digging" as the medical personnel tried to get the needle deep enough to penetrate a vein, prison administrators called it a day and the prisoner was returned to his cell. In the intervening time, the man's attorneys made an appeal to commute execution to a life sentence on the basis of cruel and unusual punishment.

They assert nothing could be more cruel or unusual than to put a man through a prolonged, agonizing execution attempt, call it off for technical reasons, then put him through it all over again. I think the appeal has been going on for two years. He may be nearing the end of his appeals but it remains to be seen whether or not his life will be spared.

So the answer to your question is, the state would give the condemned inmate medical attention, then try to carry out the execution again. Ironically, if a death row inmate attempts suicide--even on the same day the execution is scheduled--the dysfunctional state would try to save the inmate so the execution could be carried out as planned. This is an example (IMO) of how completely insane the death penalty system is.

Update: The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Broom’s appeal. His case was remanded to the Ohio Supreme Court, which set a new date for Broom’s execution. The new date is now June 17, 2020.

In April (2020), on appeal Romell Broom was granted a stay of execution to March, 2022.

Romell Broom died recently from COVID-19. So his story is over.

James Burton - William Marwood’s last execution

James Burton - William Marwood’s last execution. William Marwood travelled to Durham for the execution of murderer and bigamist 33 year old James Burton on the 6th of August 1883.  He had met 18 year old Elizabeth Ann Sharpe the previous summer, while both were patients in Sunderland Infirmary.  They married at Sunderland Register Office and set up home in North Durham Street in Sunderland.  However Burton was already married. Elizabeth left him because of his foul temper and use of the drug laudanum, an opiate. Burton could not come to terms with her rejection and stalked her.  Finally he battered Elizabeth to death out of jealousy on the 8th of May 1883.  Her body was found beside the railway track at Tunstall, near Sunderland.  Her head had been smashed with a rock and three large rocks placed on top of her body. Burton was arrested the next day and his clothes were found to be blood stained.  He denied all knowledge of the murder and maintained tha...

This is how long the average prisoner live once he arrived in Auschwitz before taking them to the gas chamber

Auschwitz was large but not the worst of the camps; it most probably was the most well known It was a labor camp. Prisoners were worked to death. Those arriving WERE sorted into those groups that could be used for work and those who were considered worthless: children, the old and sick. These were sent immediately to the gas chambers to be liquidated. So they were there maybe an hour before being killed. In 1941-1942 the extermination camps in Poland, Sorbibor, Chelmo, Treblinka, Belzec were used to empty the Polish Jewish ghettos. Understand that the word “concentration” meant where the Jews and undesirables were gathered or concentrated for subsequent elimination. There was a vast dislocation of people in the wake of the Nazi invasion of Poland and the Soviet Union. Millions of Jews were concentrated in sections, ghettos of cities and then were rounded up and ship to extermination camps. These camps were constructed away from major cities and from the time a train arrived with a load...

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’). ...
