history of executioner and what his daily life would be like
203219
I heard that some executioners were, themselves, convicted criminals. They were allowed to remain alive as long as they executed other convicted criminals. I think the executioners that I heard this about were actually hangmen in the American West 1700-1900.

I'm thinking a reality show where like 100 death row inmates were sent to an island and the last one standing had there sentence converted to life.  I'm thinking Lost meets Survivor meets Running Man.  No guns, only their wits

Heard about them... Advise: Don't get involved with gang activity... It will lead to a life of crime, and then no way of getting a real job in the future.  If the life you want is to be an inmate until you die, have at it, otherwise steer clear.  I promise you that you don't want to be in jail for the rest of your days.

I am glad that justice has been served.  I do not see how he could not have been convicted.  Too bad he can't be publicly flogged by the remaining members (if any) of the people he murdered; then have honey poured upon his body and a mound of ants released at his feet.  He deserves a slow and painful death.  He is nothing but a modern day Hitler.

I think it would be very interesting. I am fascinated about the mental status of serial killers and I really do wish there was more information about them. I, too, do not agree with anything they do nor do I think they deserve anything but the worst punishment - but I think sometimes we need to know more about the events leading up to the fact in order to perhaps prevent it in the future or at least answer some questions.\n\nGood luck!

Yes, I think he should be executed, because he formed one of the most deadliest street gangs ever in the United States.  He is indirectly responsible for hundreds of murders, which the gang committed, and in my opinion, that does constitute the death penalty.

Here is how i'd do it:\n\n\n:::::::::\nCapital Punishment is defined as, punishment by death for a crime; death penalty. The six most popular methods of execution are beheading, electrocution, lethal Injection, firing squad, and hanging. Beheding is usually the method used for Capital Punishment in countries in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, when an individual commits a crime with this consequence, that person's head is chopped off.  When an individual is punished with electrocution, that person is strapped to a chair and an electrode is applied to the scalp and calf.  Alot of places in the United States have done away with electrocution and started using lethal injections, this is when a lethal dose of Sodium Thiopental, Pancuronium, and Potassium Chloride is injected into a subject.  Lethal injection is considered by most to be the most "humane" way of Capital Punishment.  The last two forms of Capital Punishment are firing squad, and hanging.  When someone is killed with a firing squad, usually there is a group (or squad) of gunned men, one of which who has a bullet, and the rest blanks.  When all guns are fired at the subject's heart, noone knows who killed the person, this is to assist in keeping the firing squad's concious healthy.  Last but not least, is hanging, when someone is "hung," a rope tied into a "nuse" is gathered around their neck, and they are placed onto a chair.  The chair is kicked out from underneith the legs, and the neck is broken.\n\n\n:::::::::::::\nThis really needs to be like 7 paragraphs, and you should start out with the definition, explanation of what you're going to talk about, and then do seperate paragraphs on each type of Capital Punishment.  Have each paragraph include who uses that type, where it started, and what exactly it does.\n\nI would write that out for you too, but i've got my own homework to do.\n:::::::::::::

Would need to know where in Louisiana and when. There was a serial killer who followed that m.o. Try looking up the archives of news stations within that location, or even the newspapers. The Daily Advertiser has archived stories, if I'm not mistaken.

I agree with you. He wants to be a martyr. The worst punishment we could give him right now is life inprisonment. That would drive him and his supporters nuts!

Well he did exist, that is pretty indisputable. Indeed there is far more evidence of his life than there is of the christian comfort blanket Jesus. \n\nHowever I would agree with you that by all reports he seems to have been a bit of an a**hole. We must remember though that in his day these atrocities would have been far more acceptable and even in fact praiseworthy. Unfortunately for many people not much has changed. We are lucky to be living in tolerant western societies with equality of the sexes and secular outlooks, because many of these things are still happening today.

I have to say the one that went to jail had a bum rap. But I doubt very much if they will pay him back financialy. He lost a lot of years. With all respect to the the girl who was killed. He was accused, mistreated,freedom taken away, and probably treated  ungodly in prison. Being locked up is hell on earth.

I admire him because he stands beside justice and does not back down. He cannot be bought out or swayed. Most recently we saw him stand by the law when an ex-gangster who was responsible for the horrible deaths of people tried to get out of the punishment that was rightfully due him. This convicted murderer tried to convince everyone he was a wonderful guy now (with violin music playing in the background undoubtedly), and the governor had the decency to remember that despite what he has or hasn't done while waiting on death row... those people are still dead, the parents still cry, and there is still a responsibility to pay for what you have done. I have noticed the governor sticks with whats right and does not bend. He would have my vote if I were in California.

I am kinda on the fence as far as the death penalty is concerned.  My hesitation is that there are alot of people that are convicted of crimes that they did not commit.  I think that alot of the problems with crime begin in the home.  We have far too many homes without a Father figure in them.  Our judical system is a joke.  When someone is sentanced to 10 years then it should be 10 years not 10 years and eligible for parole in 5 and with time off for good behavior etc..

They will differ from location to location,  some are very nice, tennis courts, basket ball courts, lots of job training.  and some are dirty dingy and very old.\n\nthe one that Moussaoui will be going to is the Super max.\nHe will live 23 1/2 hours a day in a seven foot by 12 foot cell.  it has a concrete slab with a mattress for a bed,  a concrete shelf for a desk and a shower.  ( for security, he does not have to be moved to shower)\n\nHe will have a chance at least 3 times a week to go to a small "dog pen" outside to walk around,  he will have his meals served in his cell though a hole in the cell door.\n\nhe will not be permitted any association with other inmates at all.
