Are you pro or con capital punishment? Is it an outlived concept or does it serve it's purpose? Let me know in the comments!
I think a person should be punished for the crimes he has done but takin his life does not make any difference between us and the criminal.
If man’s blood you shed, by man’s hands shall your blood be shed. Also,
It (government) bears not the sword (1st century euphemism for death) in vain. It couldn’t be stated more clearly. Murder is worthy of death, and I believe that hanging or firing squad are the best forms of capital punishment
The Infographics Show why are you commenting so late
Hmm my views on this are:a murder is a life sentance 2 murders life sentance 3 murders execution 4 +F*CKING TORTURE THEM -AHAHAHAHAH- ok srslly after a bit of a killing spree i think its justified to torture them even for a bit
im pro capitol punishment, but i dont actually like it that much. I agree that it should be a quotidian norm, conversely the methods used are horrrendous, but i dont think there would be a good way of killing (apart from carbon monoxide poisoning)
Me: *strapped in the chair*
Police: Any last request?
Me: Yes...Hold my hand
MK Gamer oh I get it 😂
MK Gamer cop: gets electrocuted instead of criminal.
Me: *sitting on table, prepped for lethal injection*
Doctor/guard: Any last request?
Me: let me go home for 45 more years
Oh I get that means the cop dies to
😂😂
3:43 that is George Stinney and he was actually innocent but his innocence was discovered 70 years after his execution
I guess you're hard of hearing. That was a guy in Arkansas in the early 1920's. George was in South Carolina in 1944. George was so small he was only jolted once and died.
no George was 14
Murdered, george was murdered he never was exequted
@@Deridiya He was executed bud
@@crystalsthename no he said that IT WAS FOUND HE WAS FOUND INICENT 70 YRS LATER

Oww !!! I know that all too well. I did that long time ago
YESSS
Yes we’ll call it “LEGO walk”
As a person who is going to be an electrical engineer, I have a correction on this matter. It’s amperes that kill a person, not voltage
But you need the high voltage to break the skin's resistance and deliver that amperage to the brain and other organs.
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
I also studied electrical engineering but I don't know this. I only remember transistors, capacitors, emitter. I forgot all of them.
Current wont flow without voltage.
Amperes depend on voltage
4:50 what monster would execute Mr. Clean?

I was looking for that comment
Sometimes he leaves smudges.

R.i.p George.
"He was not executed, he was murdered."
Did u know that on an executed person's death certificate the cause of death is listed as homicide..
Heather Bushman So what. If they list it as candy overdose, the outcome is the same. Problem is, nobody prosecutes the homiciders.
Yes
George Stinney? 😥🙏🏼
And John Coffey
Is anyone watching this after ted bundy?

And messier than all executions
I mean you just pressure wash the "test chamber" afterwords.
chris becks are you sure? Video's of NKVD shooting Kulaks on UA-cam aren't that messy. Just a shot, then a crumple.
Thanks for the tutorial on how to build a electric chair!

The Infographics Show I'm sure they won't show you how to build an Electric chair in any of the renovation {lifestyle} shows. That'd be Awkward for the customers on the show "You build a house with that" . Given a tour, and there they see in the corner of the child's bedroom an Electric chair. 😂🔛📺 🏚💺 ☠

Could you imagine being electrocuted, being dead, then coming back in a coffin and then shocked again to re kill you. That sounds so incredibly terrifying
I was thinking his lawyer messed up. They could have called the botched execution an example of cruel and unusual punishment, then assert that the condemned could not be executed as it would be destruction of evidence in the case. (This recently happened irl)
Good
And also at that point if you die and come back to life just let the person live because technically he did already doe for his crimes.
He would be a brain damaged vegetable at that point.
Even in botched cases, the brain is dead instantly from the amount of electricity
It's not the voltage that kills the person, it's the amperage that kills the person. You can get hit with 50,000 volts and it's not going to hurt you, your hair will stand up on your head (in a lot of high school science classes they do this). But, if you get 1/1000 of an amp at your heart you're dead. I thought I'd point that out.
Yes,amperage is kind of like heat being generated. However voltage breaks down your resistance to electricity; the higher the voltage is the less resistance there is.
@@ericcutrer1467 ok, but witch is the amperage of the electric chair?
@@guilhermearaujo1350if electric shocks come at a specific voltage number, it depends on how much resistance the person has. Ohm’s Law states that Current=Voltage/Resistance. The average I’d assume is probably a few amperes, provided the electrocution is conducted properly.
“Botched executions often upset the sensitive”
Why you watching then?!
I was thinking the same thing.
Right! You show up to watch someone die, and then your sensitive to it
Doc it hurts real bad when I cut my fingers off what do I do???!
@@vxy357 I KNOW! Like, STAY HOME IF YOURE SENSITIVE
Its public television
I'm guessing it hurts like hell.
Oh, noo. It's a very smooth transition into the afterlife. You won't feel a thing. It's almost like a breath of fresh air under the guillotine.
@@Kraterlandschaft lollllz😂
Kraterlandschaft how would anyone know how it feels because everyone who’s ever been in an electric chair are all dead...
@@zaarawashere probably got executed in a past life
I been shocked before to the point my heart stopped but it honestly was not bad it’s so fast and like I remember feeling a second enough time for my brain to register pain so maybe 17 seconds I think is what it is but it was like just a slight burning ringingly feeling it’s not bad
nitrogen would be the most humane execution method
> its extremely cheap to extract from regular air
> it makes up most of the atmosphere
> its non toxic
> its completely painless (ever breathed from a helium balloon and passed out?)
> it can be collected and reused
> no special chambers or training is needed to use it
> organs can still be harvested after the execution
> the prisoner can be revived up to 10 minutes after execution if needed (dependent on temperature.etc)
Holton was one of my inmates when i worked in Tennessee corrections. Piece of crap, that got what he deserved.
@@jrelvas4676 God would intervene if it wasnt his time.
no he wouldnt les.
God has no power like that.
if it wasnt his time, then guess what?, dudes still getting the electric chair while god takes the back seat and watches
So i guess all those kids dying of cancer, it was just their time to go...lmao
Because even the worst of criminals are humans? It shouldn't matter what God, or sadists think about karma and sweet-punishment. It's basic morality to make the execution process painless. Death is the biggest punishment known to men, so why bother making it painful, if the next second he is dead and have no emotions to feel remorse or... well, pain?
“AC/DC” Sounds familiar?
AC/DC was based off of the electric chair,
And Metallica had an album off of the electric chair that’s so crazy

"Will it hurt"? A: "No one's complained yet"!
Obviously it hurts, 2000 volts is very deadly.
Here's all the executions and if they are painful or not :
Lethal ejection - Not painful, becuase you are in sleep (becuase they drop anesthesia which won't cause any pain). (Most popular)
Electric Chair - Obviously super painful. (2nd Popular)
Firing Squad - Obviously, being shot (especially the head) is deadly. (3rd Popular)
Gass Chamber - Yes, becuase it contains very deadly chemicals which causes permanent death. (Least Popular)
And finnaly Hanging - Obviously, the feeling of slowly your head being ripped would be painful. (4th Popular)
@Prashant M Well, normally they would drop more anaesthesia and it would be enough, it's impossible not to fall asleep.
If you some how (which won't happen) can't fall asleep, they would drop the drugs without anesthesia which would be extremely painful
@@chaztle6214
Actually.
If the electric chair is done right? You may feel a split second of pain before you're out like a light and the juice goes to work on your heart and organs, but you don't know. You're basically dead. Of course if it goes wrong, it's possibly the most gruesome.
If the anaesthetic in the injection doesn't work, lethal injection can actually be incredibly painful. Like liquid fire in your veins. Look up Angel Diaz.
Hanging? While the body may be alive and swinging for a few minutes, the snap of the neck is instant unconsciousness.
Firing squad and gas chamber to me are both literally up in the air. Can work like clockwork, can be brutal too.
It will stiffen your muscles, it's even said that your eyes are taped because the eyes will fall out or melt.
4:59 they're killing mr. Clean😔

The executioner forgot that tge officer was holding the criminal's hand
Doesn't work like that. The guard would instantly pull his hand away, since he is only touching an HV live wire.
yeah ikr
"so the question is, does it hurt?"

Electricity: accidentially kills people in the 1880s
Executioner: INTERESTING
Im all for more humane forms of punishment and all but the logic of those extra sensitive people. Why the heck would you even come to a hanging if you can't stomach it????
good question
A hanging when done right is an instantaneous kill. If you expect to see justice served but instead witness someone's head ripped off completely or worse yet gurgling, spasming and shaking for several minutes you may be a bit disgusted since that isn't what anyone set out to do. After all there is a reason the US doesn't execute people by slowly peeling chunks of skin off their bodies. It's a great punishment due to all the pain but it's also really messed up.
Juu Ju my thinking exactly !
@@levaris77 they did the skin peeling execution in china. It was said that it took hours for the inmate to die from his injuries.
A combination of morbid curiosity and also a need to prove to yourself that humans are capable of such cruelty and madness
Why they killed mr clean
Cause he wouldn't stop stop cleaning we had to get rid of him some day

why wouldn’t you want them to feel pain
nikki arezzi your bruin would get instantly burnt and shut off (depends on how powerful the laser tho)
Nope HAHAHAHAHA
A long time ago, I used to think of the electric chair as being a huge solid piece of cast iron and steel, like one of those old Nintendo chairs. Basically, I once imagined the electric chair as being basically a Nintendo seat made entirely of steel. I imagined the condemned as being ordered to sit down in the steel chair, strapped down, and then a single, extreme high voltage (about 5,000 or 6,000 volts) being sent through the seat where it would pass straight from the steel chair into the inmate's body, frying him and electrocuting him.

Sooooooo Watcha doin this weekend?
I had a morbid fear of the electric chair when I was a kid. I thought it was basically torture, then death.
It took a longer than normal time to strap Daryl Holton into the Tennessee electric chair as it was that states first ever use of the "new" chair with multiple harnesses and buckles.
Subsequently, TDOC placed stickers with numbers on each component of the buckle and belts so that corrections officers can visually match which belt goes into which buckle.
No one will see this, but have you ever seen or read The Green Mile? One of the characters, who was executed via electric chair, died in a manner very similar to the first man ever electrocuted. One of his characters also had to be electrocuted twice, just like him too. It'd make since that Stephen King would draw inspiration from the first execution.
I dead ass cried for like a day after this film with my mum

Thankyou infographics, time to start building!
I'm on the fence when it comes to the electric chair. Hanging (and, likewise, the electric chair) is supposed to be instantaneous if you do it right, but there's no guarantee either. In theory, the electric chair renders the offender brain dead in a matter of milliseconds, fries the brain, and ultimately damages the organs. In practice, however, there's no guarantee as electricity can easily malfunction.
Bryce Gipple I very much agree..
Electricity never malfunctions... that's like saying air malfunctions... the delivery of the electricity can malfunction and a different person may react differently to the electricity, but the electricity itself doesn't malfunction.
@@wolfshanze5980my mistake. The *use of electric chair can malfunction.

Chair and electricity
The chair scared me as a kid I always thought it wouled happen to me or see someone I know in it but it's not used anymore so itz goodz.
Sonicice 24 I thought the electric chair is still a thing
Hate to break it to you but it still is. today a man in Tennessee was executed using the electric chair.
Actually it's still a form of exicution. But it legit kills you in 3 seconds so iz good.
It used to scare me too. Now I find it oddly fascinating.
The green mile was awesome!
Also the book was even more graphic than the movie.
It was used twice in 2018. It's still in use.
A *killer* invention if ever there was one. Effective *execution* though it comes as a *shock* to many. Yet some people get a real *charge* out of it!

1:36 just because it’s “more humane” doesn’t mean it isn’t absolutely terrible
Hanging in the UK and Ireland was a precision job
True, doctors aren't allow to give the injection, so sometimes it's given to officers who haven't performed it before.
I love the dark humor they added in the conversation bubbles. 😂😂😂😂
This video is depressing.
Yeah. Why do people have to give death? I'd rather be in jail for 7 million years than death sentence.
I was so scared of death when watching this
4:55 yo why we killing Mr Clean!
4:43 Sir, Iam scared. Will you hold my hand?🤣🤣
Next you can perhaps do a comparison on Norway prisons vs. American prisons?
"A prisoner being electrocuted is paralysed by the large amount of energy in the shock and is also asphyxiated, but almost certainly fully conscious and sentient. He may feel himself being burned to death while he is conscious of his inability to breathe"
From an old book about different forms of execution
If hanging is done correctly its supposed to be instant and painless. If done right the brain stem is detached from the spine and the person dies instantly. But if done incorrectly either by accident or ill content the person is left to be strangled flailing about which is not a pretty sight

Man builds electric chair. What happens next will shock you.
Hannah Kent LMAOOOO
Okay, serious question. So if someone manages to survive the chair after one pull of the lever, is it 'cruel and unusual punishment' to continue shocking the person in the chair (until death)?
I mean like it quick it stops everything like a shot to the head even that isn't 100%
i think even even one pull of a lever is cruel and unusual
Most awesome vid!!!!
1) Anyone who has received an electric shock KNOWS it's painful. With the "Chair": .2) The current causes muscles to go into severe spasm which is one reason why the trunk and limbs are restrained: think of the last "Charley Horse" you had to the n'th power. The muscular contractions are severe enough to fracture bones. The body temperature can exceed 200 degrees which cooks the organs. It is not a merciful way to institute capital punishment. The simplest and newest method is an intravenous anesthetic + paralytic agent which stops breathing + large dose of a potassium solution e.g. KCl which stops the heart.
These video's are getting scarier and scarier!
