I sat in Virginia's electric chair back in the late 70s when they were renovating the execution/viewing room at the old Virginia State Penitentiary during the capital punishment hiatus of the time. The executioner worked the front sally port.
As far as I know they will use the same one as they took it to Greenville when CP was GTG again. |

One relatively easy thing Virginia could do is any drug manufacturer unwilling to supply the needed drugs would also be ineligible for any state Medicaid contract.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Utah went back to firing squads... just sayin'. Death by firing squad, if executed correctly, is swift and effective. (The "if" is added since apparently people have screwed it up at least once). And unlike modern lethal injection, the firing squad pre-dates the existence of our republic. Thus, the firing squad is not "cruel and unusual punishment." Time to return to the time-honored firing squad. May I suggest no fewer than 12 trained gunmen using at least .30 caliber rifles? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I don't understand the way our society currently views executions. Setting the moral/ethical/legal concerns of a death penalty aside for another thread, we seem to agree that execution should be swift and not cause undue suffering. There are several time-tested methods for accomplishing a swift execution, yet our society insists on pursuing the strange and the overly-complex. A proper hanging is a good option. The French guillotine is another good option. Having unskilled non-medical personnel hook people up to IV's and pump them full of questionable drug cocktails is stupid. Electrocution seems clumsy and clearly prone to problems. It boggles my mind. The only reason the death penalty is holding on in modern society is due to the fact that they're told lethal injections are painless and humane. Bringing back more antiquated methods will be the end of it. |

What's wrong with using a syringe full of air?? Because it's not as easy as the movies make it out to be. Every day people are given a lethal cocktail that would be leathal and painless absent a breathing machine. This is called "general anesthesia." Not hard to do. |

Why cant we use bullets? If hes a rapist give the father or husband of the woman a gun strap the scum bag down and tell the shooter to get in point blank range and pull the trigger. If hes not a rapist Id be there is someone out the willing to pull the trigger, family member of the person he killed or whatever

I think CO2 might be quite agonizing. Think how it feels when you can't take a breath; I''m told the feeling is due to CO2 building up in the blood, not lack of O2.
N2 asphyxiation is so painless that industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars/year to prevent it. Very dangerous for people who work with LN2 if they don't have O2 monitors to tell them when to gtfo. (I work with large quantities of LN2) |

No a post and a pile of tires would be the best method, barring that a 10 gauge to the back of the head is swift and effective....messy but still swift and effective. Especially if your goal is a relatively short but expensive battle in the courts. The current reading of cruel and unusual has made a mockery of the English language, judicial history, and the rule of law. We are basically putting some sadistic or uncaring sociopaths down like Rover when he had two bad hips or cancer. Historically a large axe, a firing squad, a noose, or a bullet to the head were good enough for the guys who wrote the Constitution and we are twisting our legal system into knots over how to give the worst members of the criminal class to bed. If you want quick the shotgun slug or pellets to the melon will get the job done and there should about zero suffering. Nitrogen nor some fancy drug cocktail is going to be quicker than that. |

Large-caliber single shot rifle, held in an apparatus that aims it downward. It's fired remotely, sending a heavy round (I'm thinking a .50 BMG, because overkill beats underkill every time) down through the brain as well as the vital organs of the condemned. Messy, but fast and certain.

7.62 x 51 mm to the base of the skull. Crushes the medulla oblongata rendering the center for heart beat and breathing inoperative. You'd obviously have to prep the area for a massive spray of blood and brain tissue but a couple of guys with a garden hose and a mop and bucket could clean it up quickly.
The biggest cost isn't the means it is the millions spent in court fighting the original sentence. Much cheaper in the long run to simply sentence them to life w/o parole. Of course then you'd end up with jails full of lifers with no hope who would have not compunction of stabbing a guard or another inmate repeatedly. If we as a society believe that the death penalty is needed then we'd better figure out a way to apply it fairly and not make so many mistakes in sentencing. |

I have no idea why they don't just use N2 gas. Quick, painless, crazy cheap, no mess, all residue and leaks are completely non-toxic (it's air, without the oxygen part). You take two breaths, they feel perfectly normal, body goes anoxic, and you're down - that's why it's so feared in industrial accidents. Everything is fine, and you're done. Shit, if you were on a budget, you could do it with a face-mask and skip the chamber. |

I propose that they just use massive overdoses of heroin to take care of business. I'm sure that they have more than enough of the stuff floating around in evidence lockers, so no cost there, plus there would be an new negative association with the stuff.
Win-win-win. |
