Ancient Origins
Hanging, was a type of lethal punishment, introduced to Britain by the Germanic Anglo-Saxon tribes in the fifth century. The gallows were an important symbol in Germanic culture. The noble Hengist and Horsa, as well as their comrades, utilized a rather rough and out-of-hand style of hanging, which only resembled our clean and tidy modern method in one way: it worked quite effectively. William the Conqueror later ordered that it be replaced by castration and blindness for all crimes, except hunting royal deer, but Henry I reinstated hanging as a method of execution for a variety of misdeeds. Although other techniques of death, including boiling, burning, and beheading, were widely utilized during the medieval period, hanging had become the primary punishment for capital crimes. If you've ever wondered how hanging kills, the position behind the ear has specific advantages and is best calculated to result in fast and painless death because it works in three separate ways to achieve the same goal.
First and foremost, it will result in death by strangulation, which was the only cause of death in the old procedure prior to the lengthy drop. Second, it dislocates the vertebrate, which is now the underlying cause of mortality. Third, if a third element is required, it tends to internally tear the jugular vein, resulting in very immediate death. However, there is a simple truth to it all. Despite all the improvements we've seen, even the finest physician, biologist, or other scientist cannot pinpoint the precise time when a hanged person stops feeling pain. According to pro-hanging propaganda, "death by hanging is almost instantaneous, but others claim it takes no more than two or three minutes, a quarter of an hour, or much more, as in the case of Antonio Sprecage in Canada in 1919, which took one hour and eleven minutes to hang. The punishment to be hanged by the neck until dead addresses this issue through intelligent law. The operative words are "until dead".
Methods of Execution
Until the 1890s, hanging was the most common method of execution in the United States. When Delaware and Washington's courts overturned the death penalty, hanging remained legal. The final hanging occurred on January 25, 1996, in Delaware. If lethal injection is not possible, a firing squad is still used in four states for execution. The most recent execution using this approach was Ronnie Gardner. New York constructed the first electric chair in 1888 and executed William Kemmler in 1890. Other states quickly followed this execution approach. Today, electrocution is not utilized as the sole method of execution in any state, though some jurisdictions still use it if the inmate requests it or if lethal injection is not possible.
Cyanide gas was first used in Nevada in 1924 as a more merciful method of execution. Gee Jon was the first person executed with deadly gas. The authorities attempted to inject cyanide gas into Jon's cell while he slept. This proved impossible since gas spilled from his cell, therefore a gas chamber was built. The gas chamber was last used on March 3, 1999, when Walter LaGrand, a German national, was killed in Arizona. Currently, eleven states allow fatal gas as a means of execution, although all use lethal injection as their principal method. Oklahoma became the first state to use lethal injection as a method of execution in 1977, but it would be another five years before Charles Brooks became the first person killed by lethal injection in Texas on December 7, 1982. Today, all states with the death penalty use this procedure.
