The Julian Gallows- History's Most BRUTAL Execution Method?

Throughout the centuries and history, there were many different execution methods used to take the life of a condemned prisoner. One of the most common was the gallows, but there were different variations of this method and one of them was the Julian Gallows. This was devised in America, and aimed to relinquish an executioner with the burden of being the one who sent someone crashing to their deaths. When the condemned stepped on the trapdoor, a water system set in and this then seconds later released the trapdoor.

Pierrepont used to say to his prisoner "don't worry I won't let you down ". Slightly dark humour.

Do you have any idea how many execution methods are called "the most brutal" on youtube? Hundreds!

The firing squads in which only one shooter was given a live round...the mechanism of the lethal injection delivery system in which 2 officers have a button to press with only one actually starting the flow of drugs...The impulse to distance those performing the execution from the act itself is remarkable in some cultures.

In a firing squad ONE GUN had NO ROUND....the rest did...... that is how that worked.

I believe that all guns have live rounds except one that has a blank, and the shooters aren’t told who is holding the rifle with the blank cartridge before firing or after, this way they can believe that they might have only shot a blank and not an actual bullet.

@@handgrenade7181 Yes you are correct. Of you watch the short KZfaq video (about 1 minute long) "The Execution of Josef Wende by US Military Police Firing Squad in Toul" you will see a young German who was caught Spying on the Americans being shot by Firing Squad, They even show his shirt open after the execution and an array of bullet holes showing at least 6 bullet wounds. It's kinda sad as that guy looked no more than about 18 or 19 years old.

The last photo of a gallows is Ariuzona State Parks Tombstone, Arizona Courthose. The existing gallow in the photo is a modern mockup.

If a society wants to retain the death penalty maybe the executioner should be chosen at random from that society, similar to jury service. Any one person only ever conducting one execution. Sounds fare to me. As Albert Pierrepoint said in an interview after his retirement, “The police, the judiciary and the public all stepped back and left it up to me”. Another comment I heard from an interview with a prison chaplain was how the process of execution left all involved feeling “sullied”.

The executioner still causes the death. If one, say creates a booby trap, and someone is killed by it. The creator of the trap still causes the death even though he might not be near it.

I am pretty sure you are the same guy who does the WW2 videos I watch. Ironic I found this video. I was just going through my pictures of the Wyoming State Prison Museum. They'd used a Julian Gallows. The switched to a gas chamber, but I think if I had to pick, I'd want to be shot.

So sorry for the poor executioner. Did any of these guys who most likely volunteered for these jobs suffer from PTSD?

@tilerman Ай бұрын

I think the people that would have done that job would have been weirdo's anyway. Years ago and for a very short time i worked as a driver for an abattoir and never in my life have i met such a strange group of people. Real oddballs.
