Why do American executions have to be so long and drawn out... UK executions took like 15 seconds from leaving the cell until pronounced dead to not prolong the agony.
It was often just eight or nine seconds, often from hangman entering the cell to the prisoner dropping. Pierrepoint got the brevity of the hanging to a fine art.
Jurisprudence and procedure. In Britain, it was 3 weeks from sentencing to execution of sentence. All appeals had to go through the Home Office and the Home Secretary. The execution chamber was next to condemned cell surreptitiously hidden from view. In the United States, appeals take place through the court system and depending on the prison, the execution chamber is several feet away from the condemned chamber or in the case of Kansas in the corner of a warehouse down the road from the condemned cells. In Texas, the condemned is taken from the prison to the Walls Unit 5 miles away where the condemned cells and the execution chamber are both housed. Unlike Great Britain, the death warrant has to be read either before the prisoner is taken to be executed or at the place of execution. But don't be fooled by movie dramatics; American executions are pretty much carried out swiftly and efficiently.
Chad Von D nah it happens in real life reading of warrant, strapping down etc. It is inhumane torture. Aim in UK was to disorientate prisoner who expected to be led to external gallows. Instead they were next door hidden by a wardrobe. It would be thrown back, on gallows, trap sprung boom. This is accurate ua-cam.com/video/A5gAN1P2JbM/v-deo.html
The book is a very disquieting read. If you have had some experience with people, you know that there are certain ways people can interact, without actually planning to do great evil, where they end up doing great evil. It's like they slide into a dark place one bad decision at a time. The book captures that feeling. It's terrifying.
knot in wrong place it needs to be under left jaw to snap head back and break neck instantly. Like others have said if drop was too long too he would have his head pulled off of choked to death if too short. That is what happened to James Lubenda in Cali in 1942: slowly throttled to death. Given the lack of empathy and the seeming desire in US to make condemned suffer it was probably deliberate. As guy below said the British process took about 30 seconds from entering cell to dead on trap next door and the hangmen took meticulous care to weigh the guy, observe his build etc to give an instant exit: in deep uncomsciousness as soon as hit bottom and heart stops a few minutes later.
Pierrepoints' fastest from cell to death was 7 seconds, in the UK, the condemned cell was right next to the gallows, entered by a door behind a closet.
I don't think it was so much a lack of empathy as it was the lack of proper technique in American hangings. Unlike in Britain, the US never established a standardized procedure, it was left up to the states and more often than not, the hangman were amateurs. Most probably never even heard of the table of drops or if they did, they were apprehensive about using it and would instead use a standard drop just to be safe. This is because American hangmen feared a decapitation more than a slow strangulation because a hangman would lose their job if they ripped the person's head off. It had less to do with the welfare of the condemned than it did to not offend the witnesses who were less repulsed by a long and suffering death than a quick death by the beheading. It really wasn't until the international embarrassment caused by the botched Nuremberg Trial executions did this start to change in both military and civilian hangings. In 1947 the US Army revised it's manual on judicial hangings based on the experience it gained by the US Army's wartime collaboration with professional British hangmen like Albert Pierrepoint and from the execution of German and Japanese war criminals. Although few states still used hanging in 1947, in those that did hangings finally became as universally efficient as they were in Britain. In this case, despite the fact Kansas was still using an old fashioned cowboy gallows in 1965, the drops were well calculated and by all (well documented) indications, Perry Smith and Richard Hitchcock died painlessly.
@@lgmx-peacekeeper3204give me a break of course they knew about it….it had been known about for hundreds of YEARS….you’re gonna state America in the 1950s didn’t know because some stupid Hollywood production didn’t put the silly noose in the right place for the movie? LMFAO yea ok gotcha!
The last execution in the United States to be carried out by hanging was in 1996. For all you know, it could be reintroduced in Ohio, seeing as they've abolished lethal injection.
Timothy, the victim goes straight down once the trap door released. Depending on the drop can break your neck killing you instantly or squeeze until you suffocate. Once the body goes limp that's when the rope is swinging. The body doesn't have that same amount of weight anymore so its lighter for the rope to hold and sway.
Swinging from the rope in hanging comes from the old way the execution was performed,where what the condemned stood on was kicked away or pulled or in some cases where they where pulled up by the rope and as they strangled the body's momentum would swing on the rope ,also where the expression pulling your leg comes from ,as family members or friends would pull on the condemned to quicken death
The rope was incorrectly secured on the prisoner's neck. Set instead at an oblique angle his neck would be broken in the fall and he wouldn't choke to death. I don't remember where I got this information.

If you've ever seen the leaked Saddam Hussain hanging video you'll see what this scene gets wrong. Head is still aligned with the body. When they show Saddam's body hanging the most grotesque thing about it, other than that his face was uncovered, was the way his head was shifted about 4-6 inches to one side...you could see there was NO coming back from that! His autopsy table pictures were gnarly too.
How we Brits did it: much more humane ua-cam.com/video/A5gAN1P2JbM/v-deo.html Interesting to note the Americans bodged the Nuremberg hangings but Pierrepoint hanged 100 in one day all perfectly, no mishaps two every 10 minutes or so. If ai had to be executed I would want a guy like that on the job. The British long drop still used today in India, Singapore, Malaysia etc.
He didn't hang 100 in a day. That's an exaggeration. The most he did was 13 in a day. Read his autobiography and watch the movie and you can see that. 13 was the most. He did close to 100 in a week after the Belsen trials, but never close to 100 in a day.
Nuremburg Prisoners were all strangled to death after face smashed against to small drop hole by U.S. Sgt. Wood. Talk about crimes against humanity....
@@mattbod Yes British hangings were conducted to the highest standards. In the U.S. it often was left to the county Sheriff, an elected official who may have zero experience.
The hood was placed over the head, always before the noose, so the hood did not blow off during the fall, as Albert Pierrepoint quoted in his autobiography, it was drummed into them during training, cap (hood) noose ( put on) , pin (safety pin on trap mechanism) lever ( operating the trap) drop

It doesn't make any difference how they're killed, as long as they're killed. They aren't around to hurt anyone else, and have paid the debt for their crime. That's the whole point of the execution. it's not difficult to understand and has been carried out for thousands of years.

Ask the collage young ladies about that after he escaped custody…..and his last victim the 12 year old girl. Look up what Joseph Duncan the 3rd did to a North Idaho family.
