The video is based on Jerry Givens, the state executor of Virginia from 1982 to 1999. He has put over 62 inmates to death either by electrocution or lethal injection. His family didn't know he was an executioner for many years. He would invite children from schools to prisons to show them around and educate them about how committing crimes could end their life by execution. He is now campaigning to end capital punishment.
He passed away 2 years ago due to COVID.
@@dangelo1369 May God have mercy on his soul.
reference to what they say before pulling the plug on an inmate.
Person 1: I'm a police officer
Person 2: I nurse people
Person 3: *I chop heads*
Person 4: *I clean up heads*
3 was a sniper
4 was a ship captain
5 stole a plane
This is episode 6...
Person 3 sounds like a typical drug cartel.
Person 21: I answer simple math questions completely wrong

One of the most horrible jobs is the one that requires taking people's lives.
NoOne Knows it shouldn’t be legal
@@julianettinger-finley938 I agree. Death row doesn't reduce crime. Criminals aren't afraid to die!
Julian Ettinger-Finley then how would any military exist ? In a perfect world this wouldn’t be legal but certain jobs are necessary to create a resemblance of perfection in imperfection
b m bro listen military is different. I’m talking about a death sentence
Humans can never be perfect and as long as we aren't jobs like this will be needed.
Wow he didn't even tell his favorite dog who he is....

*Back when Elephants weren't on the verge of extinction*
Edison: Hey! Let's kill an elephant to show that electricity works!
He actually did it to say that Tesla’s preferred method of distributing electricity (AC current) is dangerous.
Adlih Loetz he did that to the elephant because Tesla and Edison were at a war with ac and dc - eventually Tesla won the war Edison is a piece of shit for killing that poor elephant to show America that dc current was bad and harmful that’s why he did that
Yeah I saw that documentary on history TV you know what Edison was a son of a bitch and full of shit.
Iirc, Edison wasn't showing that electricity works. He was fraudulently trying to demonstrate that AC was more dangerous than DC by executing an elephant with AC (which is actually a lot harder and takes longer).
Someone call Louise Held her to act as an assistant! 😂
I feel bad for the executioner having to hear those screams everyday when he sleeps or does anything 😭
(Love the channel, you have all my support :D)
@AT22 they aren't murderers and comparing them to a murderer takes meaning away from the actual murderer. This is a job someone has to fill and the people who do this get this as a just punishment. These are the worst of society not just some innocent person getting killed at random.
@AT22 so true..fuck the insurance companies and the staff that support them, they killed my mother based on their opinion that the treatment was not needed, she past 2 months later, the staff that typed the response executed her same as this poor soul.
@@anthonyfenn2804 and sometimes they are innocent and killing one innocent person is not worth it.
@@waylander751 they are never truly innocent even if th there is botched evidence a crime resulting in death row is extreme and there are people in this world who can't be left alive
I imagine they have very easy access to therapy. A job that hardly anyone wants so I'm sure the city/state will do whatever they can to keep the few people that do it.
Probably the best one of these yet. Such a difficult topic that most of us frankly never think about. You humanized it and brought it to life in a very visceral way.
Imagine career day at his kids school.
Why did you have to go and say this now, why

Ooh ooh! How about "I am a cringy 9 year old who plays Fortnite"
Naww jkk
Had two ancestors from Maryland and Virginia that were slave traders. One commanded a slave ship. Sad to say, the older members of my family think it's proud or cool. Sad history

All of them are interesting af
I haven’t told my friends my wife or my kids my secret
Proceeds to tell all on UA-cam
Its not a real person
@@honinakecheta601 you didnt watch the video but he refers himself a correctional officer, he doesnt need to tell all the details
But we're not his wife, children and/or friends..... LOL
This means how nasty this job is...

"I am the man who stopped WW3"
y'know that russian guy who dismissed a false early warning system? yeah that guy

@@CatholicWeeb
The guy who voted no to a launch was an officer
Could you imagine if an inmate turned to you as you were administering the injection drug, looked you in the eye, smiled at you genuinely, and said "I hope you have a good day tomorrow sir" before just closing his eyes and...sending off?
The guy who executed the man who said that: “I Am A Man In Death Row.”
I am a Kamikaze Pilot
If you ARE a Kamikaze Pilot, then you kinda suck at your job, man.
How can you tell it
HehHeh
Was
It would be even more interesting to show the kamikaze pilots who flew the Ohka planes.
THE MAN ON THE LETHAL INJECTION TABLE IS THE SAME MAN FROM THE "I AM on death row" VIDEO, HE HAS THE SAME FACIAL HAIR AND HAIR
(EDIT 1: I think the coloured male in the electric chair might be a reference to the movie "the green mile".)
Beans4000 It is
A Johnson yeah I agree, dude it’s alright to say black
The green mile was a real good movie some claps for a good film👋👋👋👋👋
i love and hate that movie
A Johnson well people will just say he is racist for that
Yep, that's definitely me when I'm a death row executioner
Sir,your coming with me
So u comment on like every video possible
@@ayesha8404 lol not every video, but yeah a lot of them
Hey man, I found a yeti with internet access as well
@@ayesha8404 Just like how they're reported to be and Justin Y, there're actually many of them running the channel
the chair is making a comeback -- tried and trusted !!!
This is going to scar me for life THAT I AM i never going to commit a crime
Icedkid Fury some innocent people were put on death row wrongfully
@Carolann Cannuli-Denton no one asked
11:16 "I would like to prevent more crimes"
Kills a child as a demonstration
He prevented the child from committing a crime.
CreeperPL *BRUH*
Well, He didn’t kill him. You could see the kid was clearly alive after that.
DUDE YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION IT SAID "I would put small amounts of electricion into the kids"
I would love to see “I am a Holocaust survivor”
@ᛋᛋ-Die Soldaten - ᛋᛋ Wtf?
That would be amazing. How about Irena Sendler?
@ᛋᛋ-Die Soldaten - ᛋᛋ 😐
Not many of them left
@@Hyper.Adam1 there is 1 guy though
a friend i met a few months back has a great grandfather who is 92 "93 now when writing this" who was a survivor was abducted when he was 18
I loved the voice for vlad the impaler
Also, this animation looks like shrek is love
Haha I was trying to remember why it seemed familiar
Dude these story’s are grea as hell why haven’t you blown up in popularity yet damm bro new sub here
In the next episode
I am a judge that will sentence death

I absolutely love this channel! Thank you for this wonderful channel. Nice to hear stories from that person's "point of view". Excellent content...fantastic creators. Kudos!!!
He put his favorite dog up on the priority than his wife and kids.
Humans have mostly more empathy for dogs than for others humans
Plus.....a dog couldn’t tell anyone.
A dog wouldn’t tell anyone cause they can’t dummy
Bright Mango no shit Sherlock
Because the dog won't rat on him.
This channel deserves so many more subscribers, its actually great story telling and good info/insight into each type of person/individual they talk about.
Damn when you know he doesn’t even tell his favourite dog things get serious
This channel is getting very good
This was a very interesting episode. I like hoe they switched it up from people from history to someone from today telling their story
*how
He sure does
Such a great story, great animations and overall absolutely stunning work! Keep it up!
The US law views prison as a form of punishment instead of a chance for correction. Avenging instead of preventing. In most parts of the world there is no death row, and somehow they get by.
Ur videos r amazing 😃 pls keep continue to make videos!
I am a japanese kamikazi pilot.
Pls. Make this one a reality(love the channel.btw)💕
I don't think they would be alive if they kamikazed.
Son: Hey dad, what's your job?
Me: PLEASE! (Provide Legal Execution And Silence Everything)
Son: COOL!
9:50 nooooo the death row prisoner is from the I am on death row he didn’t get his delay
That makes no sence
Fazbear Entertainment I am made a video about that guy on death row
That so sad
NOOOOOOO
If kids who were on the wrong path were actually forced to witness a death row execution it would effect them in a huge way
Hey mate, What do you do?
"Chjop chjop"
Oh so you are a woodcutter in Minecraft.
This is great stuff! Well written.
Thank you
I just loveee this channel❤️
2:33
Guy: *gets executed*
Lady: 😐😲✋
Also Lady: *chooses to watch execution*👁👁
"I'm the wife of a correction officer, and I have giant hands"
Another great video! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into such a unique job. I couldn't even imagine having that weight on my shoulders.
I can't wait for I Am to get production value with the more subs they get!
A few days before this came out I found out sometimes the prison or whatever ask RANDOM PEOPLE ON THE STREET to be executioner then this came out
Love the video!! Keep up the good work( I’m also really early)
I can see his family asking him "So, what did you do at work today"
"I killed somebody"
Do a story on one of the guys who escaped Alcatraz!
He did
@@ballin1006 I commented this before they posted that video, but thanks!
keep doing what you do its really informational and helps with my history presentations so thanks for making these videos
The best way to start my night 😂❤️❤️
Night? tf you at? ive been up all night its 05.37 here 😬😁 time to hit the bed soon 😁
Great Video!
Some advice:
I think the music could be a bit softer as I had trouble hearing the narration
Is it the Executioner doing a killing or the judge that ordered the killing
@@somerandomguy___ that is a technical thing, it's like judge assisted but executioner did the goal all the glory and/or criticism will be on his head, judge can save his face by showing a gesture of delivering justice but executioner can't give any powerful reason because doing this kind of job for feeding his family is not so acceptable on moral ground and on the other side he himself is so mentally fucked up by doing this. Too much to think but still so complicated 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I do think that if everyone were to reject the job as an executioner, the faster the death penalty will be abolished.
Some random Guy why wouldn’t they want to
If we are speaking technically it’s the executioner cause he’s flippin the switch
Alex J Brimmer why would there be guilt
Them I have a Beautiful house big pool perfect grass.
Me: oh so u rich rich
Could just live in a remote place with low property velaue guessing if it's a 10min drive to a prison not many people wanna live their
Real estate prices in small suburban towns in the South best known for the prison aren't all that high.
This poor guy. I’m not a fan of capital punishment, but I could never blame the executioner. I feel for him and everyone with this job even more now.
this channel is waaay too good for youtube
Wow. Never even considered the kind of life an executioner..
I've got a few great ideas for future videos:
'I am Admiral Yamamoto',
'I am Emperor Puyi',
'I am Marshal Zhukov',
'I am Admiral Kolchak',
'I am a Luftwaffe pilot', and
'I am a U-Boat sailor'.
This is like part two of the guy who was on death row. So it's like we are getting different perspectives.
Left Morningstar nice copied comment
Absolutely love this channel! These videos are so cool!!
Do the next one, "I am the 'I Am' Animator"
The problem with our judicial system is it based on retribution instead of rehabilitation. Unfortunately the executioner is never going to find peace, because killing someone never brings peace for anyone. Not the executioner or the victims, it just leaves an even bigger whole.
A “I am John D Rockefeller” would be pretty cool
Pin Head Larry I wouldn’t watch that
yea
Man, I can't wait for the next video! 😊
He seems to be the wrong person for the job...
That phone beeping at the end took my by a shock.
Why doesn’t he just quit his job
He explains it at 11:52
LeChatteNoir
I’d rather be jobless than kill someone. 😒
Bria Pryor jobless doesn’t pay the bills.
He has to feed his family
Can you please post 2 vids per week because i been waiting for more for a week now 😅
Wow what a chilling video. Love it guys thank you for the story. Brilliant all throughout.
I love how the beginning is dims gameplay
Sims
I feel the need to write a story about a guy like I did in the “I Am on Death Row” video but it might be too dark-
Great video either way! Absolutely love the way you can understand the character’s guilt.
God bless this man’s soul. He’s not alone.
Best UA-cam channel keep going hard
8:39 is the same person from the death row episode
*Other episode*
That’s really sad
This video was really well made. A super good look into the life an executioner.
Again have been asking for I am Martin Luther King Jr.
It's a good one just background music is too loud in some parts , hope it'll be fixed in next ones
i am yoshie shiratori (ive escaped 4 of japans most secured prison)
also is that db cooper at 1:01
All vids are great, really awesome animations. When this series begun I was pumped, but honestly I was expecting just a little bit more action and actual histories.
Begining: US state
Car: *drives on the LEFT side*
It's so surreal in fact everything is if you see it with deep enough point of view
These I am stories keep getting better and better, but it must be so hard to be an executioner
he said electric chair takes 2 and a half mins...what! that must not feel good at all lol
Why can't you guys do I am the medic who fought without a weapon Desmond Doss
Because no one asked?
Everyone has heard of that stuff already
@@kodabear2270 many people have heard of all of this stuff. So why can't they
Simple history does a before and post war of his life but mostly what happened at BC and hacksaw ridge
Demonking62 GD waste of time
Great video but please can you tune down the music volume a notch
..who’s responsible for the animation? 🤣
And BTW this channel is so underrated.
Well it was a little depressing to watch this .
You were suppose to upload new video this day right? Can’t wait for the next episode. 😂😂😂
