A gas chamber executioner from Missouri was described to instruct the condemned that if they desired to take the last breath, then they should wait until they heard the audible "thump" of the canister being opened before exposure. Despite the hopelessness, they all tried to hold their breath.
No, few people really ever tried holding their breath, most followed the advice given to them to breathe in deep when the gas hit their face to get it over with as soon as possible. The problem in most cases wasn't that they were holding their breath, it was that the gas was strangling them. Some went down easy and lost consciousness fairly quickly but most would writhe in pain for 1-3 minutes before unconsciousness finally set in; it really was quite random the effect the gas had on people. In those cases where the person died hard, the newspapers tended to claim the person was holding their breath as an easy excuse to explain what went wrong, presumably to avoid embarrassing prison authorities. It wasn't until the 90s did the gas chamber finally be covered honestly. All it took was 4 executions for the ugly truth to be revealed, 2 in California, 1 in Arizona and 1 in North Carolina between 1992-94. The public uproar it caused led to states legislating the gas chamber out of existence except for those who foolishly choose to die that way.

If you guys think this scene is hard. They executed a 10 year old black boy for a murder he didnt commit. All the poor boy did was find the body. At the time racism was still a huge problem. Which meams he didnt get a fair trial. The boy was then electrocuted for a crime he didnt commit. Many years later the police came out with documents saying that they wanted to pin the blame on someone. If I remember correctly the racist town kicked the family out for defending the boy.
I see now. Like it was described earlier, the distance between the death house to the execution chamber is just a few steps away, the longest walk a condemned prisoner may undergo during the last minutes of existence before going to the world beyond the seas.
Think of the terror of being "hanged, drawned, and quartered?" The executioners at that time had to perform the actual hanging, but not enough to kill him, the castration, disembowelment while still alive, and end of the agony by beheading the victim. The rest of the limbs are then dismembered, and the head attached to the end of a pike. I can't think of a more barbaric execution.
This scene actually isn’t sad. It’s actually bittersweet in my opinion. Sam Cayhall actually gets executed for a crime he technically didn’t commit. He may have been involved in blowing up the building but he didn’t create the bomb or set it off, nor was it his intention to kill the kids. Even though thanks to his grandson Adam, his brother and partner in crime Rallo Wedge is unmasked as the man responsible for killing the children, in the eyes of the law Sam was still involved, and ends up facing death via the gas chamber.
That makes no sense because the death penalty is for first degree murder. This was-at best-voluntary manslaughter, which isn’t severe enough to warrant a life sentence in some cases, let alone the capital punishment. May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
@@NazmusLabs No, it falls under the felony murder statue: If an offender kills (regardless of intent to kill) in the commission of a dangerous or enumerated crime, the offender, and also the offender's accomplices or co-conspirators, may be found guilty of murder.
Last month, a man in Lake County, Illinois, shot and killed a 14-year-old boy. The boy, who was Black, was one of six teenagers accused of trying to steal a car out of the man’s driveway late one night. The man, a white 75-year-old, said he fired shots out of fear. He was not arrested or charged in the boy’s death. Instead, the Lake County state’s attorney charged all five surviving teenagers with first-degree murder. And his request that they be held on $1 million bail was granted. Imagine being charge for a murder you didn’t commit 😂
Probably to keep the body from thrashing around. The body reacts quite violently when it's being attacked by chemical agents. Involuntary muscle spasms, motor control goes haywire.
I am a survivor of a violent crime. The intruder tried to kill my whole family. I almost died; I was 7. My Mom did die. Despite living with horrible complex ptsd , being ,without my Mom, I cannot condone the death penalty except in rare cases. Too many innocent people die and the punishment is mostly inhumane as well. I can’t tell others how to grieve or what kind of punishment they should request; I jam acutely aware after 40 plus years the price is often paid by the innocent. I can’t abide the archaic punishments doled out by a broken system.
If you don't mind my asking, what would those rare cases consist of? Special circumstances are required for death penalty cases. The problem with life sentences is as long as they're breathing, there's a chance they could walk among us again. The U.S. was the first & only country to find more humane & quick methods & on average it takes more than 15 years to execute a prisoner, longer than other countries, if it happens at all. Some countries execute citizens for ordinary crimes. I do think there needs to be some changes but I also know that this issue is being used as propaganda for several organizations & nothing will ever change until we all get on the same page with the real facts for the right reasons. No human system is perfect but I definitely prefer ours where I know I won't be buried to my shoulders & stoned for refusing to marry my rapist.
If I was a juror on a capital crime trial, I could not vote for his death because it is proven over the years that some innocent people died for crimes they did not commit. Is that when we become murderers?
Vraiment c'est très triste de suivre les exécutions sommaires en direct, où est le droit de l'homme ? Supprimer la vie d'une personne est un péché bien qu'il a mis plusieurs meurtres, peut-être le condamné à vie et non lui exécuter.Pour la loi divine, la justice et les exécutants de la peine de mort sont responsables des meurtres devant Dieu,ils ils iront en fer...

About cyanide - I had moderate inhalation cyanide poisoning that made me feel groggy & lightheaded, lips & fingernails turned blue - but it was not painful. Concentration was obviously low; it didn't make it terribly hard to breath . We got outside as soon as one of us noticed the color change, and a doctor later said it would have made us fall asleep before we felt like we were suffocating... and THEN we'd have never awakened. Cause: tomcat had been spraying the space heater all summer, autumn came, we got cold and turned the heater on - I don't know the exact chemistry. We just thought the stink would burn off.
Should play Iron Maiden's song : Hallowed Be Thy Name " When the priest comes to read me the last rites. I take a look at the bars for the last sight. Of a world that has gone very wrong for me"
No, because of the number of people found to be wrongfully sentenced to death. There is a reason that we have an appeals process in this country, an it's to root out the wrongfully convicted and those who were sentenced inappropriately. Of the people initially sentenced to death, about half end up getting some form of commutation to Life imprisonmen due to issues found in their cases. Some are found to have been innocent of the crime altogether on new evidence and get out of prison entirely. Your 'philosophy' on the subject would result in many people being wrongfully executed.
@Jules Winnfield So just screw the innocent ones and kill them along with the guilty just for kicks? Sounds like the wartime atrocities: murder everyone in the village because one person shot at your people. Not only a ludicrous view, but horrific.
CLIP TAKEN FROM THE MOVIE... "The Chamber" is a 1996 crime thriller film based on John Grisham's novel of the same name. The film was directed by James Foley and stars Gene Hackman and Chris O'Donnell. (Wikipedia)
I'm the biggest advocate for capital punishment, but this, and electrocution are clearly cruel and unusual. Lethal injection, and decapitation are the most humane ways to execute, actually.
That's a thoughtful comment. However, people have been ''charged'' with committing things like this, that doesn't mean that they did something wrong. Infact, there have been some people sentenced to death row that haven't done anything wrong. Don't you also feel pity for those who were wrongly judged?
No one truly innocent has been executed. That is impossible. You can try but nobody is going to believe it. And mistakes do happen and people are hurt. But you can't get rid of something useful because mistakes are made. You Thems have ulterior motives.
Very accurate. This was filmed at Mississippi State Prison in Parchman, Ms. This is the actual gas chamber. It's still there, however a lethal injection room was built right next to it.
There are some crime's that deserve the death penalty, no doubt about that. The problem that I have is, are we always executing the correct criminal, some times, due to faulty witness testimony, or whatever, the wrong person is arrested and convicted. So, if it's 10%, or if it's only 1%, I think it's enough to oppose the death penalty.
There's an even better reason (one that has been proven to be true btw): some jurors will not bring themselves to issue a guilty verdict when they know the death penalty is on the table, even if they believe the defendant to be guilty - they then get the subconscious feeling, like they're pushing the button that will kill the person, so they just can't do it. There are well documented cases of people who went free, even though the majority of the jury believed them to be the guilty perpetrators.
@larsliamvilhelmit’s likely happened, including some executions in recent history. I’m not saying it’s common. But statistically speaking, it’s hard to come to any other conclusion.
@@martinmoore7920 yeah, modern executioners are mostly correctional officers that have years of experience. So if you really want to become an executioner, first become a corrections officer.
Ah dude hugged his lawyer bye.. The warden read the death warrant. I took some spanish in highschool and common sense wherever I go. Good clip I figured out what was going on without english. This was the execution of Gene Hackman's stunt Double by gas chamber, which he was sentenced for filming the terrible movie "Lucky Lady" in 1975.
Our whole lives we are taught that just because someone does something to you, doesn’t mean you do it back to them. There isn’t a justifiable murder. Death penalty is often paired with anger and emotion, understandably. Be it a murder in a fit of rage or death sentence , it’s all the same. It just depends on who’s doing the killing that makes it “legal” or “justifiable.”
why not just save it for the serial killers and the rapists and the ones who are proud of their criminal records? Because sometimes rehabilitation is never going to happen and then it's not a matter of anger and emotion but a matter of stopping them from victimizing someone else if they ever escape or get released
You know something, bud? When there is a food shortage or just a general period of financial desperation, peacenik fools like you are the first targets for a raiding party looking for food and valuables to loot.
Who says that the gas chamber was painless? Nerve gas is awful. People are talking about using nitrogen gas now. That is painless. That’s a totally different thing. The air we breathe is 79% nitrogen anyway. 100% nitrogen just puts you to sleep peacefully and you die. I’m not for the death penalty I’m just pointing out that the two gases are in no way related
When Britain had capital punishment, the nation's last hangman Albert Pierrepoint had a record of 7 seconds from the moment someone stepped in the room to the time of death.
You correct about his record being swift. However Pierrepoint was not U.K. final hangman. He retired, or was retired in the 50’s and they had capital punishment until the 70’s. Harry Allen May have been the last, but not positive. No doubt Peirrepoint perfected the technique and was the best known hangman, but not the last.
I find that horrific. There is no dignity in being rushed through a door onto the gallows. I would prefer to walk under my own steam and be asked and able to say my final words.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I know the difference between the two types of hanging - strangulation v breaking the neck. The point I was making is that Pierrepoint would enter the cell, rush the condemned out into the cell with the gallows, pinion them and pull the the lever. He did it in 7 seconds for one poor bastard. Frankly I find that horrific. To me there is more dignity in allowing the condemned to walk unaided, allow themselves to compose themselves.allow them to said a few words or to pray if they wished, before the hood was placed over their head and the lever pulled.

Imagine the sheer horror and terror of the victims, they did nothing wrong, and one person decided to play judge jury, torturer and executioner to satisfy their lust for murder. Yet when caught screem unfair trial, beg for stays, etc etc..
What an absolutely horrendous and cruel way to die. It's like strangling without a rope. And Gene Hackman is such a master actor, his body language and facial expressions make us feel the sheer terror that his character is experiencing as the guards slam and seal the heavy door, the valves open, the old mechanical equipment goes clunk, and the poison gas starts hissing and rising around him.
look at the chamber equipment and procedures used to kill one man....now why am i skeptical regarding 100s/1000s of people being alleged killed at the same time in a brick room with a wooden door by a man tipping the pellets onto a cold floor from a ladder on the roof
Hypoxia has never been used as an execution method in the US as there is no protocol yet validated for it. Lethal gas has been used before now but is a very labour intensive method. Sodium Cyanide crystals are dropped into hydrochloric acid and the resultant hydrogen cyanide gas then fills the chamber. This is a reenactment of that protocol, which hasn’t been used since 1999 where Walter LaGrand became the last DR inmate to be executed by this means in Alabama before it was declared unconstitutional (“cruel and unusual punishment”).
Ok, please let me clarify. Hyperbaric hypoxia preferably or nitrogen hypoxia at least. Carbon dioxide hypoxia would be horrendous and I’m sure would constitute strange and unusual punishment.
I don't believe the case you've noted was from Alabama...to the best of my knowledge, we've never had a gas chamber. Electric chair, yes, but not a gas chamber.
Alright. So if a person murders your spouse, and then you carefully plan that person's murder, should you then get the death penalty for killing the murderer?
"And some people says that the gas chamber is a painless, humane and clean way to die?" - I've never, ever heard anyone claim that. That is the exact definition of a "straw man" argument: arguing against a claim that has never been made.
Yes they do this to stun pigs in a gas chamber and they also call it humane !!! That's one of the reasons I am a vegan!!! We don't have to torture no one and try to make a better world for us all
Not in the eyes of the western civilizations. People here seem to enjoy executions that go painfully wrong. That feeling of satisfaction highlights their compassionate christian upbringing.
Comments on here are crazy. It's not meant to be peaceful, warming n humane.Guess you should have been with them when the victims were murdered. Weak people
The point behind human rights is that you don't get to pick and choose when they apply them. How humanely you treat the people to whom you have the greatest cause for seeking vengence is the value you assign to human life. That's why cruel and unusual punishments are not constitutional. I would dare say you might have a case that the writers of the amendment in question would not outlaw firing squads, for example, but gas? People shaking, sweating and vomiting? Hard to believe it wouldn't meet their standards for cruelty... Wanting to hurt people, wanting them to suffer, irrespective of the reason, is cruelty by definition. If you want to justify punishments, look at its value as a deterrent, not as a means of collectively stamping "evil" in the name of justice or God.
@@stephanesurprenant60 Moral sycophants always go on about a universal value of "human life" in general (which you don't even value highly in the first place), when the relevant question should be: what is the value of THIS human life. Not much. As to the writers of the 8th amendment, the method of choice back then was a "short-drop" hanging, which killed by slow and painful strangulation.
There's a video where a innocent man was executed by the gas chamber. Later on the warden trys to apologize to the mother of the dead man . She screams at him and slapped his face. It was a UA-cam video that I wish I could find again. There are innocent people put to death and society needs to accept that our law system can murder in the name of justice

This scene actually isn’t sad. It’s actually bittersweet in my opinion. Sam Cayhall actually gets executed for a crime he technically didn’t commit. He may have been involved in blowing up the building but he didn’t create the bomb or set it off, nor was it his intention to kill the kids. Even though thanks to his grandson Adam, his brother and partner in crime Rallo Wedge is unmasked as the man responsible for killing the children, in the eyes of the law Sam was still involved, and ends up facing death via the gas chamber.
That makes no sense because the death penalty is for first degree murder. This was-at best-voluntary manslaughter, which isn’t severe enough to warrant a life sentence in some cases, let alone the capital punishment.

Last month, a man in Lake County, Illinois, shot and killed a 14-year-old boy. The boy, who was Black, was one of six teenagers accused of trying to steal a car out of the man’s driveway late one night. The man, a white 75-year-old, said he fired shots out of fear. He was not arrested or charged in the boy’s death.
Instead, the Lake County state’s attorney charged all five surviving teenagers with first-degree murder. And his request that they be held on $1 million bail was granted.
Imagine being charge for a murder you didn’t commit 😂

I am a survivor of a violent crime. The intruder tried to kill my whole family. I almost died; I was 7. My Mom did die.
Despite living with horrible complex ptsd , being ,without my Mom, I cannot condone the death penalty except in rare cases. Too many innocent people die and the punishment is mostly inhumane as well.
I can’t tell others how to grieve or what kind of punishment they should request; I jam acutely aware after 40 plus years the price is often paid by the innocent. I can’t abide the archaic punishments doled out by a broken system.
If you don't mind my asking, what would those rare cases consist of? Special circumstances are required for death penalty cases. The problem with life sentences is as long as they're breathing, there's a chance they could walk among us again. The U.S. was the first & only country to find more humane & quick methods & on average it takes more than 15 years to execute a prisoner, longer than other countries, if it happens at all. Some countries execute citizens for ordinary crimes. I do think there needs to be some changes but I also know that this issue is being used as propaganda for several organizations & nothing will ever change until we all get on the same page with the real facts for the right reasons. No human system is perfect but I definitely prefer ours where I know I won't be buried to my shoulders & stoned for refusing to marry my rapist.
thank you for sharing your experience.
If I was a juror on a capital crime trial, I could not vote for his death because it is proven over the years that some innocent people died for crimes they did not commit. Is that when we become murderers?
Vraiment c'est très triste de suivre les exécutions sommaires en direct, où est le droit de l'homme ? Supprimer la vie d'une personne est un péché bien qu'il a mis plusieurs meurtres, peut-être le condamné à vie et non lui exécuter.Pour la loi divine, la justice et les exécutants de la peine de mort sont responsables des meurtres devant Dieu,ils ils iront en fer...

About cyanide - I had moderate inhalation cyanide poisoning that made me feel groggy & lightheaded, lips & fingernails turned blue - but it was not painful. Concentration was obviously low; it didn't make it terribly hard to breath . We got outside as soon as one of us noticed the color change, and a doctor later said it would have made us fall asleep before we felt like we were suffocating... and THEN we'd have never awakened. Cause: tomcat had been spraying the space heater all summer, autumn came, we got cold and turned the heater on - I don't know the exact chemistry. We just thought the stink would burn off.

No, because of the number of people found to be wrongfully sentenced to death. There is a reason that we have an appeals process in this country, an it's to root out the wrongfully convicted and those who were sentenced inappropriately. Of the people initially sentenced to death, about half end up getting some form of commutation to Life imprisonmen due to issues found in their cases. Some are found to have been innocent of the crime altogether on new evidence and get out of prison entirely. Your 'philosophy' on the subject would result in many people being wrongfully executed.
@Jules Winnfield So just screw the innocent ones and kill them along with the guilty just for kicks? Sounds like the wartime atrocities: murder everyone in the village because one person shot at your people. Not only a ludicrous view, but horrific.

The film was directed by James Foley and stars Gene Hackman and Chris O'Donnell.

I'm the biggest advocate for capital punishment, but this, and electrocution are clearly cruel and unusual. Lethal injection, and decapitation are the most humane ways to execute, actually.
I'm for capital punishment. I think that electrocution, lethal gas, and lethal injection should be used.
Gene Hackman...brilliant actor.
That's a thoughtful comment. However, people have been ''charged'' with committing things like this, that doesn't mean that they did something wrong. Infact, there have been some people sentenced to death row that haven't done anything wrong. Don't you also feel pity for those who were wrongly judged?
all my sympathy is used up by the many many many victims
No one truly innocent has been executed. That is impossible. You can try but nobody is going to believe it. And mistakes do happen and people are hurt. But you can't get rid of something useful because mistakes are made. You Thems have ulterior motives.
Very accurate. This was filmed at Mississippi State Prison in Parchman, Ms. This is the actual gas chamber. It's still there, however a lethal injection room was built right next to it.
There are some crime's that deserve the death penalty, no doubt about that. The problem that I have is, are we always executing the correct criminal, some times, due to faulty witness testimony, or whatever, the wrong person is arrested and convicted. So, if it's 10%, or if it's only 1%, I think it's enough to oppose the death penalty.
There's an even better reason (one that has been proven to be true btw): some jurors will not bring themselves to issue a guilty verdict when they know the death penalty is on the table, even if they believe the defendant to be guilty - they then get the subconscious feeling, like they're pushing the button that will kill the person, so they just can't do it. There are well documented cases of people who went free, even though the majority of the jury believed them to be the guilty perpetrators.
Don't forget:
Elected judges
Elected prosecutors
Influenced members of the jury
Police wanted to score.
Lying victims
Etc, etc.
Wow, that was powerful and emotional. 😔👍🇬🇧🏴

Our whole lives we are taught that just because someone does something to you, doesn’t mean you do it back to them.
There isn’t a justifiable murder. Death penalty is often paired with anger and emotion, understandably. Be it a murder in a fit of rage or death sentence , it’s all the same. It just depends on who’s doing the killing that makes it “legal” or “justifiable.”
Ok
So a child molestor, rapist, and murderer deserve to live?
why not just save it for the serial killers and the rapists and the ones who are proud of their criminal records? Because sometimes rehabilitation is never going to happen and then it's not a matter of anger and emotion but a matter of stopping them from victimizing someone else if they ever escape or get released

Who says that the gas chamber was painless? Nerve gas is awful. People are talking about using nitrogen gas now. That is painless. That’s a totally different thing. The air we breathe is 79% nitrogen anyway. 100% nitrogen just puts you to sleep peacefully and you die. I’m not for the death penalty I’m just pointing out that the two gases are in no way related
You can hear “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and chants of “Gas his ass!” in the background at the beginning of the clip.

I will not do jury duty, because some times the law lies.
When Britain had capital punishment, the nation's last hangman Albert Pierrepoint had a record of 7 seconds from the moment someone stepped in the room to the time of death.
I live in northern ireland mate, we still have capital punishment here man. a 9mm brain hemorrage.
You correct about his record being swift. However Pierrepoint was not U.K. final hangman. He retired, or was retired in the 50’s and they had capital punishment until the 70’s. Harry Allen May have been the last, but not positive. No doubt Peirrepoint perfected the technique and was the best known hangman, but not the last.
I find that horrific. There is no dignity in being rushed through a door onto the gallows. I would prefer to walk under my own steam and be asked and able to say my final words.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I know the difference between the two types of hanging - strangulation v breaking the neck. The point I was making is that Pierrepoint would enter the cell, rush the condemned out into the cell with the gallows, pinion them and pull the the lever. He did it in 7 seconds for one poor bastard. Frankly I find that horrific.
To me there is more dignity in allowing the condemned to walk unaided, allow themselves to compose themselves.allow them to said a few words or to pray if they wished, before the hood was placed over their head and the lever pulled.

What an absolutely horrendous and cruel way to die. It's like strangling without a rope. And Gene Hackman is such a master actor, his body language and facial expressions make us feel the sheer terror that his character is experiencing as the guards slam and seal the heavy door, the valves open, the old mechanical equipment goes clunk, and the poison gas starts hissing and rising around him.
look at the chamber equipment and procedures used to kill one man....now why am i skeptical regarding 100s/1000s of people being alleged killed at the same time in a brick room with a wooden door by a man tipping the pellets onto a cold floor from a ladder on the roof

Hypoxia has never been used as an execution method in the US as there is no protocol yet validated for it. Lethal gas has been used before now but is a very labour intensive method. Sodium Cyanide crystals are dropped into hydrochloric acid and the resultant hydrogen cyanide gas then fills the chamber. This is a reenactment of that protocol, which hasn’t been used since 1999 where Walter LaGrand became the last DR inmate to be executed by this means in Alabama before it was declared unconstitutional (“cruel and unusual punishment”).
@SAUL GOOD⚕️ you should look into Hypoxia more; “fighting for breath” is hardly how you’d describe it.
Ok, please let me clarify. Hyperbaric hypoxia preferably or nitrogen hypoxia at least. Carbon dioxide hypoxia would be horrendous and I’m sure would constitute strange and unusual punishment.
I don't believe the case you've noted was from Alabama...to the best of my knowledge, we've never had a gas chamber. Electric chair, yes, but not a gas chamber.
I'm not sure if you folks understand the meaning of the word hypoxia.
@@roxbuchanan6357--It was Arizona.

"And some people says that the gas chamber is a painless, humane and clean way to die?" - I've never, ever heard anyone claim that. That is the exact definition of a "straw man" argument: arguing against a claim that has never been made.

Comments on here are crazy. It's not meant to be peaceful, warming n humane.Guess you should have been with them when the victims were murdered. Weak people
The point behind human rights is that you don't get to pick and choose when they apply them.
How humanely you treat the people to whom you have the greatest cause for seeking vengence is the value you assign to human life.
That's why cruel and unusual punishments are not constitutional. I would dare say you might have a case that the writers of the amendment in question would not outlaw firing squads, for example, but gas? People shaking, sweating and vomiting? Hard to believe it wouldn't meet their standards for cruelty...
Wanting to hurt people, wanting them to suffer, irrespective of the reason, is cruelty by definition. If you want to justify punishments, look at its value as a deterrent, not as a means of collectively stamping "evil" in the name of justice or God.
@@stephanesurprenant60 Moral sycophants always go on about a universal value of "human life" in general (which you don't even value highly in the first place), when the relevant question should be: what is the value of THIS human life. Not much.
As to the writers of the 8th amendment, the method of choice back then was a "short-drop" hanging, which killed by slow and painful strangulation.
