This is a very thoughtful and thought-provoking documentary. It’s not asking us to choose one way or the other. It tells the story of people who are affected.

It’s really good.
Don't censor the documentary. Let us see the whole video uncensored
@@rogerburch69same here
@@rogerburch69well I doubt you'll get the real version cuz somehow these documentaries are edited and censored where need be so as to not make the executioner or members of the prison look bad in anyway or form. It's the truth. Anyway I am a huge supporter for the death penalty if the person is proven wrongful and committed the said crime. If the person is convicted to death sentence and his case is kinda doubtful and shady I will never support that which means there needs to be more investigation as long as it may take even years or decades the person should never be condemn untill true evidence is shown without a doubt and shadiness. Cuz once a person dies you can never bring them back to life.
The country has condemned people wrongfully only to find out after decades that it's thr wrong person but of course they cannot publicize this and keep it under wraps. Something has to be done bout all these cases, all these type of cases should be handle with care and thoroughly.
I'm no Saint. But I sure as heck would not want to be an executioner when it's my time to reach the pearly gates.
The Boston Marathon bomber was seen on security camera video purposely placing his bomb behind the 8-year-old boy who was murdered. You have to be one twisted and depraved person to purposely place a bomb behind a child! In my opinion, that's a case that completely justifies the death penalty.
Well Said..
All da Best..
The blurred footage throughout is fantastic.....
The rape and murder victim's mom has such a beautiful heart, you know she touches me when she tells about her telephonic conversations with the perpetrator's mom, much love from South Africa
A far better human being than I
The only thing to complain about is the amount of time between the death sentence & death.
As well as the fact that the attitude "if you take a life, you deserve to die" is about the level of thought a 6yr old would have. Very good evidence suggests over 30% of confessions are likely to be unreliable due to the tactics police use and the terrible state of the US education system. People think if they ask for a lawyer they will look guilty ffs.
The lengthy waiting time is needed..to be sure the person is guilty of the crime. DAS are very cunning in getting a conviction by any means!
It’s also the appeals system , if you are sentenced to death you are going to appeal and that can take years . I bet the whole thing would be over much more speedily if the prisoner did not appeal it .
@@suesmith3744definitely true.
@@georgemacdonald206 that’s what the trial is for. once the sentence is given, it should happen.
The real crime is Philly police taking 20 minutes to respond to someone being attacked
Here in Melbourne, Australia, in the area I live, they won't even attend assault calls .
Cop response is limited. It's not just Philadelphia. It's everywhere. You can steal a Bentley and not be charged.
Agreed! The cops are always sleeping in a hidden parking lot behind my house.. the irony, nobody to report them too...
Fascinating how we give them all this money and, they don’t do their jobs. 12 is fish.
Add then just leaving😳😳
A 19 year old mother of three. Good grief.

This is a very important issue well worth watching. Thanks for uploading it.
Yeah, it's a polarizing issue that is nicely done. However, I believe there's no one answer that'd satisfy any opposing groups. There are 6 different perspectives. The victims, the victims family, the criminal, the criminal's family, the executioner, and the State. It'd be hard for any one group to absolutely have the same stance
Exactly what I was thinking 💭
The death penalty should never be ended
Only God has that right
What about the prisoners who gets executed that are actually innocent and there were many i recently read of such a case and before his execution he was proven innocent and the US state of Texas refused to let him go they executed him anyway knowing what happened to his home and daughter's was just a terrible accident having evidence infront of you that a man is innocent and ignoring it and still taking his life is inhumane and murder
@@caveman4598 Nope.
@@caveman4598
So you kill people and you want to eat pizza which i work for !
@almeripieters4330 Perhaps, the prisoners should pay their own legal fees, and provide the required evidence to prove their own innocence once they have already being trialed, and sentenced?! 😂
I don't understand why they string murder victims families for 25 years like that. They should be asked at trial, and they should be contacted the year the execution is granted and asked if they still feel the same.
I'll try again and say, This is a very important video well worth watching.......
Why are my comments being removed???
They're not being removed. I see your prior comment. You added "thanks for uploading it" at the end.
@@sirwinstonchurchill2052no it sometimes takes a minute to show up

Your comments are being seen. Chill.
why should someone wrongly imprisoned be "pardoned"? you dont pardon an innocent person.
I wouldn’t want his job. What a depressing career.
Me neithet
All the cops did was KNOCK on the DOOR??? Disgraceful.
Until they kick down the door to check and kill a soundly sleeping resident who just didn't hear them knock, but responded with a gun to someone breaking their door down.
It goes both ways. They didn't do what they could have, but the above scenario is a real life scenario that actually happened, albeit on a warrant service at the wrong house. Cops can't just kick down a door without a warrant or exigent circumstances, and a single call from a neighbor isn't enough to provide either of those, unfortunately. Tragic, terrible, and possibly preventable, but the cops just knocking is pretty standard.
I don't think cold blooded killers are worth 6 figures of my tax dollars to deny them a life... I think that's absolutely crazy when you have people struggling to heat their homes.
It also costs the same to keep them for life in prison
@@Esther-yr1vpit doesn’t. The death penalty costs taxpayers much more than life w/o parole. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there but if you can weed through the nonsense, there are factual studies and comparisons that back up the claim.
If you're so concerned about taxpayer money being wasted, there are much, MUCH bigger issues than a few death row inmates. We're approaching 30 trillion in national debt because of government corruption and decades of wars. ....wars which have led to the deaths of millions.
A few murderers on death row are statistically irrelevant when it comes to taxpayer money. Also, the death penalty can be just as expensive (sometimes more) than a life sentence. It's all a moot point. That "taxpayer money" argument is a silly one and I can't understand why so many people repeat it.
Just say you believe in the death penalty.. You don't need to make excuses.
@@clicheguevara5282 preach 🗣️ 👏
What drives a person to kill another person in the first place? What is in their heads? Ive never even had a inkling of going that far
A few things. Defense of life, fear, frustration, and revenge to name a few. Feeling like there's no escape would probably be the reason I'd take a life or to save my kids or my dog.
This was an excellent video. Thought-provoking and effective if your mind is open enough to accept differing opinions and realize that yes or no is not always an easy conclusion.
Why censor some parts of the video?
UA-cam requires it or they will take the video down.
@@missychan63 The documentary was used for educational purposes. That's allowed on UA-cam.
@@FlamingBasketballClub Exactly. They're censoring it in hopes that they can keep it monetized and running ads. Most of the censorship we see on UA-cam is unnecessary and it's just about ad money.
demonetization.
@@jendee1260 UA-cam moderation team knows it's educational.
The man who build the electrocution equipment @17:22 had a documentary made featuring him. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter. I had to do a double take when I saw his name on the machine.
Very moving viedo.well done.
Courts only care about the color green. Like a conveyer belt, charge up, plea down and pay pay pay. Many many plea even if innocent because they know they don't stand a chance in the system.
13:05 Before you feel too sorry for Rainey Bethea, he was convicted of breaking into a woman's house, raping and killing her.
And "Many thought Bethea was innocent."? He confessed, TWICE, and left his ring at the crime scene.
You start blurring stuff out and I'm gone.
You can thank youtube. They are just trying to keep their channel from getting banned.
@@FlowerPup_AZ No, they're trying to keep their ad revenue. Most of the censorship isn't about following UA-cam's Terms of Service. It's about UA-camrs wanting their videos to be "ad friendly". This video would be allowed to stay up uncensored on UA-cam. ...but they'd risk losing ads.

40:55 So shocking... the woman who had her legs blown off thinks justice should be carried out, while the ones who didn't get their legs blown off are wondering if they should post to facebook about how hard they've had it worrying over the bomber's feelings and if they should do a tiktok dance with their non-blown-off legs to post about it.
Right wing 2+2= 🐠 comment. You have zero understanding of policy.
Thats it…they wanna be the forgiving ones and good hearted ones! Sicko
Thank you for sharing

Live by the law of the land. Simple!
gotta give it to vicky and sil, after all they went through and yet they chose forgiveness, my respects to those parents
I disagree. Forgiveness should be given IF the perpetrator of the crime ASKS/BEGS for forgiveness. That did not happen here. It's called contrition and is all but lacking in our current culture.
Forgiving is no better than not forgiving, but it's no worse. It depends on the person and what they've gone through
@@jeffhatmaker817 God our Father says to forgive as He has forgiven us... what they did was wrong, but they have to ask God for forgiveness... and repent and when they do God will forgive them!!
@@1physics when you forgive someone you’re forgiving for yourself honestly. It has little to do with them and more for your peace! It helps with releasing all anger and any hatred towards that person which allows you to feel free. Speaking from experience only
@@virgorising8123well I still feel anger and it does not take any of the hurt away so that's not true about forgiving at all
We have the death penalty and they want it so we use it. That's how I have always seen this.
It blows my mind that this country is still doing executions even after learning that there’s at least one innocent man put to death out of every ten executions. I feel like if we can’t be 100% sure that someone is guilty or not then we shouldn’t be executing anyone. I can’t even begin to imagine how it must feel being strapped down about to be executed knowing that you’re innocent.
Eye for an Eye.
Only God had that right and he is watching and listening
Yes it definitely is. But they is no mortals judgment to make. Piggy backing on the bible to justify killing anyone is extremely dangerous.

I've seen this docu few times already on different channel. Very good one.
Ask yourself if someone was rapping and killing small children and one was your child what would you want as a parent of a 6 year old let’s say
Utter joke to have this on here if youtube feel grown adults watching this need to be protected from seeing it, how pathetic! Censorship in the US is half the reason the country has gone to $hit. Hiding from truths, ignoring reality how incredibly immature!
Gave up watching it, perhaps it'd be better as a podcast!
Boy that would be tough to keep being the Chief Executioner a secret from everyone close to you… especially when the bonus check of $5000 arrives in the mail and in the memo space it says For Chief Prison Executioner Duties Performed

So according to the doc, he executed 6 people who were innocent. "for every 10 prisoners 1 is innocent" "he executed 62 people"
That doesnt mean that he executed 6 innocent people ,that number is based on the total number of executions in the whole country from when they started being done , more innocent people were convicted in the past , it still happens but not nearly as often . All 62 could have been guilty or 2 could have been innocent or 15 could have been innocent .
Ten executions per one executioner? Or for all in the US?
Completely nonsense number made up for dramatic effect. Absurd lies.
Statistically yes, it's possible
Rest in peace Jerry givens!
Justice is not an easy goin task and we all need it !!! There must be a strong reason to think twice before somebody do the worst things , despite the most worst happens in affected ways .... ! It's hard,but consequences are important for a functional society and isnt for good to get out of a balance ! I wish we have a other world without things like that, cause what a wonderful could it be etc, but also hard work - unfortunately... !! 🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀🌐♾️
Whats that Earl saying? Cant hear a word of english
Not a innocent person but a guilty person yeah wow this is something else this program😮
It's crazy to think America will become without death penalty.
If u don’t want to die don’t do the crime
Good documentary
Great documentary! But did anyone else notice that the sign for the Boston bombing victims was spelled wrong. It said “we will never FOGOT them” unless that is a Boston saying.
RICHARD GLOSSIP in Oklahoma is an ongoing disturbing case.
woppit up
ask the victims love ones & families to get a different point of view.
Not all victim’s families seek or want revenge. Killing someone doesn’t bring back their loved one.
They are in a highented emotional state so they are going to be biased
Capital punishment is highly illogical. It is honestly absurd that it still exists.

The Philly Police just left when the door was locked, after recieving a call of a woman screaming for help. 🤢 Sad
How come the police was called and came but they still found Shannons dead body the next morning? Police didn’t do their job correctly
how many people are already wrongly in prison because the police are sloppy in investigating the crime?
This old great documentary tho 😞
An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind.
Appropriate in Old Testament times, with no prisons. But we’re here thousands of years later. Do we believe in redemption, atonement, forgiveness? Killing is either right or wrong, whether done by the individual or the State.
Don't claim documentary when it's censored! I think it's an absolute disrespect to blur out the reality victims lived! The human experience encompasses all events so what exactly are we afraid to look at? The only way to understand and promote change is with transparency and truth of information and at the top of that is THE VISUAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE!!! ***FYI I am aware of UA-cam's ridiculous content policies***
Maybe look somewhere other than the most "sensored" site to find the uncensored video you are seeking? 🤔
youtube would take it down
oh keep your pants on. Seriously. I usually listen to docs as a podcast because I have several to get through and it's just more convenient and I don't miss anything. One could make the opposite argument about the blurs. The information is the same and Im sure you've seen way worse watching a movie or playing a video game. To get faux upset about a blur is imo just getting outraged for the sake of it. And fyi: it's a YT requirement for unrestricted viewing. I'd rather have a blur and feel safe when kids watch this.
Perhaps you never post or understand UA-cam and their policy. A person can't just post info pictures or video of sensitive crimes unless their get the right to do so, especially when putting together a documentary.
It's blurred for obvious reasons, and the fact you don't understand that shows your arrogance. Also you didn't even spell censored correctly. Lol
Exposing him as an executioner after being sentenced was a cruel trick. Surely, being an executioner sent to prison is a lot worse than being an ex cop or an ex prison guard going in. Not only is he an ex guard, but he's one of the ones who k*lls them too. That must have been some really hard time to do.
Both sides are right for confirmed offender. Some humans have a bigger heart, are spiritually capable. Thanks to forgiveness we have this current world call it bad or good have to remember have agree to disagree. Forgiveness is a powerful tool for those you can forgive.
What a hard decision to have to make 😢
"The police arrived within 20 minutes and no one answered the door" So they like just left orrrr?
Like... when someone is getting attacked and it takes around 20 minutes for police to respond and they just leave if you don't answer the door instead of kicking it in then you know you can't rely on police.
Yeah I remember the choreography no wonder no videos you can't fool all the people all the time.
Which is worse *solitary confinement or death penalty?
Depends how long solitary lasts? .
I see the condemned being interviewed saying how it's worse being locked up than actually being put to death, but at the same time they are using every trick in the book to avoid the easy way out, by being put to death.
The strongest advocates of removing the death penalty are mostly those facing it and their family members
worse for who ? society or the criminal ?
governments purpose is to do whats Just & Fair for the collective Society as a whole ... individuality shouldnt play that much a role imo. government guides a country to a better future outcome if done correctly
28:55 I dont know what Joe did or why he was on death row, but people should acknowledge he also saved a life (or at least helped). That of Earl.
i see lots of hate in the comments. But just like Jerry, maybe some need to be wronged by the justice system to understand that on death row and in prison, there is still a good chance to have innocent people. You cannot undo an execution.
I actually just googled Joe's name and he's out on parole.
5 minutes in and dude is reminding me of that one movie with Samuel L Jacksson being interrogation/torture expert for the state
Rite. If you had to manufacture your own gasoline, you wouldn’t drive a car.
I will tell you - as a former inmate (relatively short stay mind - only 10 years) - a life sentence is a slow torturous death...you have to watch your friends, loved ones and EVERYONE you ever knew - live, die and move on. That rips the very SOUL from your body. And thats a pain you have to live with for the rest of your life. Whether you get the chair - or 3 hots and a cot - you're dead either way. Easy to forget that the men and women have serve those sentences day-by-day. Dont be a killer - on the streets or in a robe.....
That's why i think life in prison is worse than death.
I think all convicted should be made to work in prison and pay almost all of their paychecks to the victims of thier crimes!!
But that would cut into the profits of prisons... who like most everything in America now are corporate, for profit, entities!
They have laws in the US now in some places where if you DUI and take a life and they had children you have to pay them like "child support." Could be pay for others too. I think its a great thing to do. Make them pay. Not sure what areas. I just remember it passed into law not long ago.
Not every man is cut out for what he was.doing. Vicky and Sil are correct. Some things are worse than death.
Most people in the comments with all there angry thoughts Have never contributed half of what The parents of The Schieber half contributed, it’s easy to follow the crowd but hard to stand alone.
Forgiveness is the discretionary sacrament of those who have been wronged.
No one may tell those who choose to forgive that they are not free to do so…
Please do not compound the bone deep loss of grieving survivors by casting upon them the “need” to know of or witness the killing of the person(s) who killed beloved human beings. It is not our place to put stones in the palms of tearful survivors…
"The police arrived within 20 minutes." And yet we are supposed to wait for them to defend us, rather than being able to defend ourselves.
Forgiveness...an ability that truly stands alone...have you got it inside yourself
Rest in peace Jerry Givens you are a very brave man it was a depressing job to do.
I don’t think this is a new video…I saw this before. Good show, though

Im not really sure how i feel about the death penalty, but if a person is 100% guilty, meaning, there is absolutely no doubt the person did it then its up to the jury and courts

51:20 Aww! Jerry Givens is a good man. It was not his "decision" that a prisoner should be executed -- he was just following orders -- but he is taking it all on his own shoulders. Which is wrong.

I believe only God can give and take life. I do believe there are some crimes that can make people think about it. But I'm against it. I think life in prison is worse. And guilt free
The parent Vicki is wrong. She does not want her daughters murderer put to death .which is fair enough, but now she advocates to get rid of the death penalty in other states it's wrong because her choice for her murderer is her choice and people respect it but others will want the death penalty so she should respect their choices and not get rid of the death penalty

It is a struggle for everyone. To understand what is right and what is justice. In a modern era, we have ways to prove some people on Death Row are innocent with DNA test. Many years in the past there were people condemned to death that could have been innocent... We also have the issue of a terrible crime of a child that may have been murdered. The criminal is caught and could get life in prison, or the Death sentence... How do you feel about the fact that maybe a man at age 30 would be given a life sentence... or.. the death sentence for the murder of a child... He could have lived to 75 in prison and be alive... or be terminated at age 31 . Then not face any human suffering.... Which is the answer...? The child may have only been 6 years old and had no future on earth... should the man be terminated and not have any future life .. or should he be in prison till he dies... could be the best answer, if he was a threat to the public if he was paroled in 30 years... or if it will cost a lot more to keep him alive in prison for many years... Or it would be better to sentence him to death.... providing that he is proven, with real hard evidence he is the right person that committed the crime...and is guilty.. that he should be sentenced to death... The answer is regarding each different crime that happens as to how it should be carried out...
The death penalty should NEVER be abolished.
Bollocks! Any civilized society abolished it long ago...
So we have two sets of criminals.The criminal and the Governor
It was abolished here in Australia in 1969.
The last execution was a man who was escaping-a Guard was killed.
Turned out he was innocent-the shot was from a fellow Guard.
His Executioner had to live with that.
Too many have been condemned,only to be found innocent by DNA after DECADES .
There are cases we want the ultimate punishment for a person who has done horrible crimes-but when you know there are lives going down that may NOT deserve it,is it worth it?
