That's not quite correct. When a man was sentenced to death he had to spend a minimum of 3 Sundays in the condemned cell before execution, presumably for him or her to make peace with God. So at best 21 days before execution. The process was swift and the execution took a maximum of around 15 seconds from the condemned being pinioned to he was dropped through the trap

Me too!

I’m addicted to the death penalty and it’s history, especially these old documentary’s.

You’re very welcome!

You’re welcome

Very eerie

In the singular sense yes, in the sense that it stops the next person coming along to fill their place, absolutely not.

​@@orestes1984 The death penalty was not rationally conceived as a real deterrent. No potential murderer ever once thought or said "I better not kill because I might be executed." The anti death penalty argument that it doesn't serve as a deterrent is misleading and shows a blind prejudice. It's a smoke screen and a diversion. It's like saying that traffic fines levied to drivers don't prevent traffic scofflaw drivers from violating traffic laws.

@@douglas-hughes what I am saying is that this argument only works if you're thinking about a single individual. The dead can't kill, but it'll never stop the next person coming along to do it. They're not thinking they're going to get caught otherwise they wouldn't do it. Your argument is that it stops one person from ever committing a crime again which is sure, but, it doesn't work as a whole because there's nothing stopping the next person coming along to do the same thing, which means the whole concept is a failure. The same cycle is gonna repeat itself, so it's no longer a success...

@@douglas-hughes It's not an anti-death penalty argument that its a deterrent , the deterrent factor comes from the pro-death penalty side. Even if you accept that it stops recidivism, that's a weak argument, because you still haven't answered the point that it does not stop the next person coming along to fill their place. And also.... If you want my real position death is far too easy. You know, if you'd actually investigated what the conditions are like in a place like the Polunsky Unit then you would see that what leads up to the death is a far worse punishment.... Albeit, that doesn't answer for the Eighth Amendment violation either.... Playing devil's advocate LWOP is a worse punishment than death. If you ask a person in the position of being on death row they see it as a release.... It's called death row syndrome, death is a better release than the position they find themselves in. Sp in actuality the longer they stay on death row the more the inmate wants to die, so you're not punishing them there either. The only good answer for your views is what is called vengeance and retribution, to which I say, you're living in the stone ages if you want vengeance and that the death penalty makes murderers out of us all.

@@orestes1984 No criminal or civil penalty prevents the "next person" from committing the same crime, so your argument is illogical. Only the death penalty prevents recidivism. As for LWOP being a "worse punishment than death," you need to read the literature concerning the very large percentage of inmates who are totally at home in the "system" and cannot adapt to even very short periods of relative freedom on the "outside" without willingly reoffending. As for the "makes murderers of us all" argument, I would suggest that you may be a murderer too if you are a citizen of a country that has or is actively or by proxy supporting war or guerrilla (extrajudicial) activities.

You’re welcome

Thanks

Same, he was a bit off with his prediction. The death penalty, right or wrong, is here to stay.

Me too

There’s just something about analog sound quality and dust damage on film that can make anything genuinely terrifying

For instance the Florida inmate Dennis Whitney in this video was later moved off Death Row and died a prisoner. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g99zqs6Qnq_Tm4U.html A Brilliant system that nearly killed a man later found to be ineligible for death.

It should be for mass shootings and child killers and horrible crimes bro, Dublin city centre Ireland projects.

@@shaunpaulwoods6509 they should have condemned the green river killer to death. Life without parole was too good for him

I agree!

Perhaps George Ryan might care to comment some day about the bribes he tolerated when he was Secretary of State. The Secretary of State office, which issues drivers licenses in the state, developed a scheme where they would take bribes under the table in return for issuing commercial drivers licenses (CDL) to unqualified truck drivers. The money gathered from these bribes would then be funneled toward’s Ryan’s campaign account. In 1994, the six children of the Willis family were burned alive in their family’s van when they lie vehicle drove over a busted taillight assembly that had fallen off a commercial truck driven by an unqualified trucker who had been issued an Illinois CDL. That scandal resulted in many individuals, including George Ryan eventually being convicted of racketeering and fraud and sent to federal prison.

Research the names if you think I'm wrong.

Capital punishment is far from necessary. The point of incarceration is to separate a harmful person from society, preventing them from continuing to harm society. Even if someone is sentenced to death in the US they often die of natural causes before their execution. So someone so dangerous, they continue to pose a threat even while incarcerated isn’t something that could be solved by capital punishment.

What does that have to do with the death penalty?

@@Duvmasta that it's not the solution . Death is easy and fast. I think life in prison is mental torture and think that's thé solution lock these monsters up for years they gonna begg for death!

​@@Duvmasta Its probably because Cain was the world's first murderer. God himself did not give him a physical death penalty. As it's stated, the mark placed upon him let others know there is consequences if they now kill him

That’s the question,
