"No matter where you are, it's not a crime to hit that subscribe button" North Korea: I wouldn't be so sure about that buddy

If you did something bad enough to get on deathrow in the US I believe you deserve the conditions. Why should murders and rapists be comfortable? Their victims sure weren't.

A man named Charles Justice got an early parole when he made improvements to the electric chair by replacing the leather restraints with metal hooks that held the inmate’s wrists more tightly against the electrodes, allowing him to leave the prison after serving just 8 years on a 25 year sentence. His freedom didn’t last long though. A few months later he was back in the same prison, this time for first-degree murder and was sentenced to death by the same electric chair he had improved

It is a crime to hit the like and subscribe buttons in the countries in which using KZfaq is a crime.

Imagine getting pulled over by the execution bus for going 5 over the speed limit.

If I was on death row, my last meal would be an Asian sesame grilled tofu with extra duck and soy sauce, and a strawberry kiwi milkshake... I'm deathly allergic to all 3 of these things, and if I'm going to die, I'd rather do it myself than wait for lethal injection.

I’m actually glad that I watched to the end. Taiwan is truly an interesting place. Not good or bad… Just full of different cultures and beliefs.

Small note; UK judges do not and have never used a gavel. In the UK only auctioneers use them. Famously, Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the Brit who was the Chief Justice at the Nuremberg Trial, was loaned a gavel by the senior US judge; he never used it. When he wanted to shut someone up, he stared at them in the eye, and would tap his Mont Blanc fountain pain gently on the desk. That always shut them up. It's called gravitas.

25:51 "Electrocution is also currently used" _Currently_ used? I see what you did there. 😂

According to me, who has been living in Hong Kong for 18 years, a 54 Ft square room with a toilet seat is a luxury that 1.5 million of us cannot even dream of.

I am surprised you didn't mention Singapore in the whole video, the country with the most executions per capita.

19:03 Ali Koa talked about this one on one of his shorts, I found it hilarious how you brought it back.

I love how the creators of this channel make a video about almost every topic out there and that too in just 2 days. Thanks for all the hard work you put into making these incredibly good videos. Make sure you don't overwork and take care of your health :)

I know a pastor who talked to death row inmates and he told me that many inmates would prefer to just get it over with rather than waiting on death row.

somebody should thank the guy for his amazing videos.everyone watching should Be Amazed.

Last meals should be canceled for serial killer cuz they didnt give their victims a last meal

Good job on the topic selection. Thank you for the work put into your videos !

I used to work for the Arkansas Department of Corections. Fried chicken as a last meal was used as a nod to "frying" or being put in the electric chair. It is mentioned it in Damien Echols auto biology. He state he hates the smell of chicken do to how close he was to being executed in the states deathrow. Damien was the only death row inmate in Arkansas history to ever be removed and giving a lesser punishment that resulted in a time served release from prison.

Thank you for letting us know which states we can do dark crimes. Get a comfortable cell with snacks and TV.

Need more countries with death row

The " Makes you think that Squid Game was a Documentary" made me laugh thanks for adding that!

It’s true Texas has a very harsh prison system. However Texas is one of only a few states that automatically give compensation to anyone who has been falsely imprisoned and then exonerated. They also give more money than any other state. $100,000 for every year served. Most states you have to fight for years with lawsuits and you end up getting a fraction of that amount if anything at all.

They should not let people have so many appeals that it takes 20 plus years for the sentence to be carried out especially if they got caught on camera I'm tired of this dying in prison or getting hills timer for some other disease to where their sentence can't be carried out

I like and subscribed. It costed me everything. The FBI kicked in my door, stole my dog, put their feet in my food and then ran away with my television. Left me beating on the floor😂

Thank you for doing such an amazing job very in-depth.

In India, the gallows are in a closed room and are out of bounds for any unauthorized person. What you have shown is of British era. As per the jail manual, the convicts face is covered with a black cloth while being led to the gallows to ensure that he doesn't get a heart attack at the sight of the noose. A news article on Kasab's execution mentioned this.

On the subject of last meal I think they should have it within some major restrictions like its normally served in the prison or if it is easily obtained near by the prison and also its only enough food for one meal.

It's inhumane to not have capital punishment. Just is a monstrous level of cruelty to put someone in prison forever. Edit: Botching a investigation on purpose to send someone to death row should carry a severe punishment.

Anyone else notice that the last meal steak he showed was actually a pork chop??? 😂

The thing about Hanging in Japan with the buttons is the same as what they do with firing squads. Usually there is one rifle that is loaded with a blank so that the guards don't know who had it.

You forgot 1 point on China's organ stealing in jail.

In Belarus the trial and act of execution can take up to 2 years. The prisoners family is notified only of the death the day after. No location of the burial. The execution is done by a bullet at in the base of the skull from a corrections officer. Executions do happen but they are relatively rare there compared to some countries.

Aah love this channel! My favorite Be Amazed video was the one with the boys stranded on an island. I really love the story telling videos

Everybody should be able to watch this because it is amazing I love how y’all do this

I worked on a Death Row unit in the deep South for over 13 years (I won't say which one). In all my time there, I only knew one convict that I (and anyone who read his transcripts) believed to be innocent. Thankfully, he was released. The rest of them deserved to be where they were. Prison isn't supposed to be easy, but we (staff) did what we could to keep everyone safe and in accordance with the law. Honestly, we even hoped the Feds would come in because it would've been better for everyone. Edit: The last meal here comes from the kitchen.

I'd be more shocked if Japan didn't have the death penalty

I have watched so many similar video's to this but might i say this is by far the best .instead of watching individual videos of the prison to death 💀 you can watch it all here with great narration 👌

0:00 intro 0:45 THE COUNTRIES 3:46 THE CRIMES 7:36 THE CONDITIONS 14:27 THE WAIT 17:48 LAST MEALS 22:32 THE EXCEPTIONS 25:03 THE METHODS 28:23 outro

The five button guilt reducing method was similarly used in firing squads. In some squads, there would be five shooters even though they only needed one. Four of them were loaded with a blank round and one with a real one. The guns were handed out at random so no one knew who took the actual shot.

These conditions for these people should make everyone else grateful to be alive, have a roof over their heads, and motivate them not to take the time we all have for granted.

"Makes you wonder if squid game was more of a documentary" had me spitting my coffee out on my wall😂

We are all in Death row...

Here in canada the condemned didn't actually know the exact date of their execution until the hamgman would visit him/her on death row a few hours before the hanging was to take place.

Great documentary, well prepared and clear! 🙏 Thanks 👍

ive been supporting your channel for 4 years ive really enjoyed your videos

This guy has more sympathy for criminals than he does their victims. He believes brutally raping and murdering people should be punished with a suite at the Hilton and catered meals.

Man shaking his hand has a bills shirt on…im subbing

In Japan, you’re not told the day you die.

I once read an editorial cartoon that was about a murderer who was executed by lethal injection, but the procedure was botched. The illustration showed some people weeping at his grave, saying how he must have suffered during the procedure, while just a few feet away at his victim's graves are voice bubbles that said, "What about our suffering?"

"The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." Eddard Stark

Watching from Greece.hi everybody. Interesting video.

You talk about the perpetrators like they’re the victims. Most death row inmates are guilty and you can rest assured they showed no mercy to the person or people that have them on death row in the first place. Most of the people on death row are there because they belong there.

You didn't mention the impossibly long list of offenses that can get you the death penalty in Iran: things like Speculation, Drinking Alcohol, Incest, Burglary, Counterfeiting, Recidivist Theft, and on and on it's Incredible

My uncle (passed) was in prison when the last Canadian Execution was performed formed. He was there for mild charges(I think?) and described it in such a way, I could never do it justice. The worst Haunted house you’ve been in x “your life span”

Philly cheesesteak, chili cheese tots with onions, jalapeños, alil mustard, some street tacos, a steak and egg bagel sandwich, a slice of cheesecake, a brownie, a triple chocolate and macadamia nut cookie, a single scoop of cookies and cream ice cream, a strawberry shake, a triple shot of Jack daniels, a 40z malt liquor Old English, 2 cigarettes, and a toothpick to pick my teeth with while I’m drunkenly smoking, and leaning over cuz I ate to much, BUT I live in Texas, so the prison would prolly give me a fruit cup and a pb&j, and a juice box 😩🤣

I used to do the group therapy thing to help with PTSD. one of the guys was a former guard in a death row unit. some of the stories he had and spoke of makes you appreciate people who do these hard jobs. he was completely against the death penalty after his time as a guard and after listening to him I can see why.

My favorite source of knowledge! Thanks! I learn a lot just by watching this channel!

I see all these last meals you can have in prison and I remember myself serving in Hellenic eating can beans cooked. And we also have death penalty in Hellas, in case of war if a soldier try to avoid service for the country.

I grew up in Alabama and lived most of my life there. I couldn't imagine being stuck in a room that size in July or August without any conditioned air. That would be brutal.

The last one from Taiwan sounds like the ancient greek way of sending off the dead. They'd put two coins on the eyes as a bribe for the ferryman to take them to the afterlife.

If you get sentenced to death, you are basically getting sentenced to life in prison but with extra steps

The fact that mexico has abolished capital punishment when their own cartels carry out THE crimes MOST deserving of capital punishment, is apalling.

I heard in China if the family of the victim is willing to forgive you and a financial settlement is agreed upon between both families you can get your sentence commuted to life , I watched a documentary about it as well

I'm probably biased, but when we had the death penalty in the UK it was all carefully worked out to minimise suffering and I think probably the most 'humane' it could ever be; the condemned would spend 2 weeks (had to include 2 Sundays) in a special double width cell with guards to keep them company, games to play and visits etc, the cell was very cleverly designed so that there were two doors in from the main walkway, one straight off the walkway and the other through a small wood panelled entry room with coat hooks and a bench (the condemned would enter the cell through that one). At 9am the condemned would be sat at a table with their back to the walkway door, the hangman would walk in straight from the walkway and as the prisoner was getting up and turning to see them, they;ed be spun the other way and have their arms pinioned behind their back, then the hangman would take them through the other door to the coat room, they'd be disorientated, but not scared as they knew what was through there, just a small room with coat hooks, which was of course never was a coat room; it was just fake wooden walls to hide the fact the room was the gallows chamber, they'ed then be hooded, noosed and dropped, sometimes within 13 seconds, so they'd not have time to recover from the shock. The hanging was also careful, unlike in America (at the time anyway) where they'd be hung and strangle to death over half an hour, in the UK the condemned was weighed and measured against a preset table to determine the exact length of rope needed to snap the neck, for this the hangman would do a test drop with the rope weighted to pre stretch it and adjust it accordingly (too much drop and the head can be pulled off), The noose was also placed specifiably on the left shoulder so when it tightened it would travel round to the front to guarantee it would snap the neck rather than strangling them. Theres a fantastic documentary on youtube called 'Capital Punishment in the UK - Hanging' which takes half an hour to go over all the process from conviction to death.

*Is this the best time?*

My last meal- peanut butter and peanuts with a side of bee stings. If one don’t work , the other will and I’ll have control 😂😂😂

I read a long time ago that in places like Iran, only the victim's family (if not involved in the crime) can choose to forgive the murderer and request blood money as a substitute for death and the judge can then issue a prison term (or the family can instead request the death penalty) . Interestingly there are almost 200 such cases every year where the murderer is forgiven and is spared death and instead gets a prison term. I find this interesting because the death penalty is also seen as a relief for the victim's family and only they can waive it.

Holy Crap!!!!! I knew that a lot of the countries in Asia and Eastern Europe like Belarus were quick to carry out the sentence but having just 2 minutes to prepare before it's carried out is absolutely freaking nuts

You forgot about Angel Nieves Diaz, who was executed in Florida. He didn't request a special last meal and was given the normal prison food of the day. From reports, he didn't eat any of that, either.

It hits hard not only criminal but also the executoner no one in right mind doesn't want to kill anyone

Iowa does not have the death penalty contrary to what your video states. We moved here when I was a teen bc my step dad was a prison warden in a death penalty state and due to his religious beliefs, he had a hard time with it. Hence why we moved here.

The awful conditions conflict me. On one hand my first instinct is to say that we're all human beings, and we don't treat fellow human beings so inhumanely. But then I think about merciless serial killers who tortured people, or pedophiles who harmed innocent children. Then I think the conditions should be even worse. Idk what to think lol

Paying your executioner was common in earlier times, at least for the more elite prisoners, those who could be expected to have their heads cut off. This was to ensure that the executioner would be diligent and cut the head off in a single blow rather hacking away at the neck over several blows.

Nice vid

I love how they're trying to make it seem so terrible and punitive lives that are lead in prison and especially death row clearly if you're in prison, the odds are extremely high that you committed the crime none of us should feel the slightest bit of compassion for people in prison who are rightfully convicted it's time to highlight the victims not the people who victimized them

The thing with the tip is actually quiet the old tradition. In Europe during the medieval up to the early modern times it was very common for the sentenced to tip the executioner for a clean and fast execution.

Their victims didnt get last meals or know when they were going to die.

I'm a Vietnamese. And yes. the condition is just like that. For inmates, it's completely normal. For those that possesses danger to the society, such harsh condition is, while uncomfortable, nevertheless justifiable. In my countries, there are many cases of convicts who shows little to no humanity left. So having their movement in jail limited is needed. Even if they are kept in different containment from normal inmates, there's still a chance of them to harm others & even the wardens. Fortunately, this, more or less, encourages other inmates to reform themselves during the time behind bars. Except those deserving death sentence, inmates that proves they are no longer a threat to the society can have their sentence lowered. To the point they can be released before Tet holiday. So as harsh as the condition of death row inmates are in, that just proves why being a good citizen is the key for a safe society.

My thoughts prayer and condolences go out to the families of these poor young people let down by the same people that have disabled for life and living in constant fear.

I love every video because they are funny , educational and always make my day.

i find it kind of weird how they spend tens of thousands of dollars keeping someone in death row for years and allow them 15 dollars for a last meal

If it had to be my last meal before being executed, I'd go for a few bottles of vodka (even a cheap brand would do). Being drunk out my skull, would at least mean not noticing being executed.

26:56 On the actual button pushed, like they do in Japan, I think the prosecutor should do that, since h asked for the death penalty. That will keep the conscious clear of any regular guard, whom I think is falsely weighed upon by being asked to perform the task. Then it may be that those who ask for death will not be so willing to dole it out as much.

They are NOT watched by “several wardens” during their showers. They are monitored by OFFICERS. A Warden runs the entire prison from his/her office. They don’t mingle with inmates the way you described. It shouldn’t take an officer to tell you that especially if you did your research.

You leave oatmeal raisin cookies out of this. It's them cookies with nuts in them that are evil.

A serial killer on death row is given a bowl of cereal for his last meal. After he ate the last bite, the guard said "damn, you killed that huh?" 😂

I don’t feel sorry for anyone on death row. They are there because they deserve to be there.

20 pounds of lobster tails steamed and detained with a pound of melted butter and a bottle of champagne

Hell if I was on death row I'd choose KFC, have you seen their prices lately? I'm not on death row and I have a hard time justifying the execution of my wallet.

i do hope they are allowed access to books to help keep the time moving, a book is defenitly helpfull for that

Americans: “we have freedom” American prisons: HERE HAVE A TASTE OF UR OWN FREEDOM

I would want my last meal to be with my whole family, (most are around in different parts of the U.S.) and my BFF Jaida, we have been friends since Kindergarten, (1 decade of friendship so far!)

Very amazed I love watching things that educate my brain instead of all that b**** good to learn something new everyday

3:33 North Koreans:

I live in Kansas, one of the states that still have capitol punishment on the books. We pretty much have a moratorium on it as no prisoner has been executed in the state since the 60's.

I wonder if Iwao Hakamada has a Guinness World Record for that. If not, he more than deserves one.

3:42 *cough* North Korea though…

You should do a fun fact about the Mississippi River and Mississippians 💯🙏🏾

Imagine one day you get the death sentence for a crime you didn’t commit, then you wait 48 years expecting death the next day. Then you get released with nothing. 48 years wasted years of life. In torturous conditions.
