    • @Weatheredstorms1
      @Weatheredstorms1 Рік тому +8

      In the US death penalty varies. For state crimes it varies because 23 out of 50 states do not have the death penalty. There are 3 more that have it on their law books but have been halted by the governor. For a federal murder, that can happen in any state and you can be put to death in a federal prison. Some prisons are nicer than others. In Idaho, the women’s prison uses cute names to refer to the prisoners. They call them residents. You can get a free college education. Even if you’ll be in prison for the rest of your life. Which is insane.

    I used to live in Dayton and drove around University of Dayton near the Woodlawn Cemetery. This happened around the time that the Wright Brothers were building bicycles in the area and probably planning the Wright Flyer. They would soon change the path of Human History with Aviation. I had to laugh at the description of the death by Electric Chair. I heard about smoke coming out of the ears of the electric chair executed. People think that it never gets that hot in Ohio, but as a former resident of Hamilton, Fairfield, Dayton, and Lima, I can tell you it does! Thanks for the story!

I remember hunting fireflies and having my front tooth knocked out when a wagon I was being pulled in hit a curb … I also remember a horrible tornado nearby that did lots of damage. I was 4 when we moved from there to Germany. I’m wanting to visit places of my past. There and Port Huron Michigan are on my list. Anyway , that’s a beautiful large cemetery.
