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.

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn. Between East and West Germany, the west was much more Nazi. Prominent Nazis made a concerted effort toward the end of the war to surrender to the Western allies who would treat them better, and were then incorporated into government and military command. You didn't have people like Adolf Heusinger, Franz Halder, or Hans Speidel running around in East Germany. You didn't have leadership like Adenauer pushing to halt denazification in East Germany. Saying all the nazis "switched hats and went to communist East Germany" is like saying males produce estrogen. Sure they do a tiny bit, but is that really the gender you associate with estrogen? One of the facts that I learned about the Holocaust from my grandfather that has stuck with me even up throug...

Reasons why Eddie Slovik was executed for desertion during World War II while other deserter's sentences were reduced

Why was Eddie Slovik executed for desertion during World War ll while other deserter's sentences were reduced? So while watching the American Heroes Channe,  I heard about Norman Cota and went to Wikipedia to learn more. I came across Eddie Slovik, who | learned was a World War Il deserter through links from Cota's page. As I was readingl I came across this: Colonel Robert C. Bard of the judge advocates general's office noted that of the 2,864 army personnel tried for desertion for the period January 1942 through June 1948, 49 were convicted and sentenced to death, and 48 of those sentences were voided by higher authority. Norman Cota approved the death sentence, and Slovik later, I wrote Eisenhower a letter. Eisenhower confirmed the execution citing the necessity of discouraging other deserters. So why was only Slovik chosen to be executed? There were 48 other instances of desertion in which the death sentences were voided, which made the higher command follow through...

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’). ...
