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.

One of the most ruthless executions in history

One of the most ruthless executions in history  was invented and implemented in the 16th century, by the Mughal Empire, and although the Mughal Empire was responsible for creating this execution, the British, were responsible for popularizing it. It was known as  “Gun blowing” . Picture: Wikipedia The victim, was tied to the end of a cannon, the lower part of the back, was just leaning against the lip. But of course, they did not load the cannon immediately, they left the victim tied up for hours,  or in some cases even days, to the point where they began to beg for their death. When the weapon was finally fired, according to records, the head was raised in the air about 15 meters, the arms were flying to the right and left, very high in the air. The remains could be found at least,  a hundred meters away ; the legs (which were just below the barrel) fell to the ground under the muzzle of the weapon; and the body literally exploded almost entirely. But of course, sad...

What actually happened to a person who was revived/survived death sentence

Here is a question before us If a person is revived/survived after the death sentence, is he free, imprisoned or sentenced to death again? There’s actually been a case like that. In 1893, a convicted murderer named Will Purvis was hung, but survived. A lot of people thought he was innocent, and he steadfastly proclaimed his innocence. A group of churchgoers who were part of the crowd were praying that he might be delivered right up to the moment that the lever opening the trap door through which Purvis would drop was pulled. The noose didn’t hold and Purvis survived. At this point the entire crowd believed this was a sign from God that Purvis was innocent, but the judge and the lawyers agreed that the sentence was “hung by the neck  until dead .” Though Purvis had fulfilled the first requirement, he hadn’t managed the second. The sheriff was ordered to rehang the prisoner immediately. But, being a God-fearing man himself (to say nothing of being a politician dependent on the votes ...

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’). ...
