We've all heard about various methods of execution are used worldwide in civilized countries. Still there pros and cons about who is entitled to revoke human lives, but in reality the execution is still running until today. With this list we hope to have shed some light on the background of the modern style of execution. Almost all are still used, but two methods are not used anymore.
1. Deadly Injections
In a short time before his execution by lethal injection, prisoners are prepared for death. This includes dressing, last meal, and shower.
The prisoner was taken to the execution chamber and two tubes flanking him. Of the tubes are then injected venom. Once the tube is connected, the curtains drawn so the witnesses can witness executions, and prisoners are allowed to make a final statement. Then administered lethal drugs in order of preference as follows:
Sodium thiopental: This drug, also known as Pentathol is a barbiturate used as a surgical anesthetic. In operation, the dose to 150mg are used, in the execution of up to 5,000 mg is used. This is a lethal dose.
Pancuronium bromide: Also known as Pavulon, a muscle relaxant is administered in doses strong enough to paralyze the diaphragm and lungs. These drugs react in 1-3 minutes. Normal medical doses are 40 - 100mcg per kilogram; dose delivered in the execution of up to 100mg.
Potassium chloride: This is a toxic substance that induces heart attacks. Not all countries use this for the first two was enough to bring the prisoner's death.
2. Electric chair
In the electric chair execution, the prisoner was tied to a chair with metal straps and a wet sponge placed in the head to aid conductivity. Electrodes are placed on the head and feet to create a closed circuit. Depending on the physical state custody, the two currents of varying levels and duration is applied.
Generally 2000 volts for 15 seconds for the first flow cause unconsciousness and to stop the heart. The second flow is usually reduced to 8 amps. The second flow will usually cause severe damage to internal organs and body heat can reach up to 138 ° F (59 ° C).
3. Toxic Gas chamber
Before the execution, the executioner who will enter the space where potassium cyanide (KCN) in a small compartment under the seat of execution.
Prisoners were then taken and secured in the seat. This space is sealed and the executioner pour some concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) through a tube that leads to a compartment in the execution chair. The curtain is pulled back to the witness saw the implementation and the prisoner asked to make a final statement.
After the last report, the execution carried out by the executioner and the acid mixed with pellets produce hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN) is lethal. Detainees generally had been told to take deep breaths in order to speed up the unconscious, but in many cases they hold their breath. Death from hydrogen cyanide is really painful and horrible death.
4. Single Person Shooting
Execution by shooting is the most common method of execution in the world, used in over 70 countries. But most of these countries use the firing squad,
but shoot with one person still be found. In Soviet Russia, a single bullet fired into the back of the head is the method most often used for the execution of military and non-military. This is still the main method is implemented in Communist China even though the shot may vary either the neck or head. In the past, the Chinese government will ask the family of the executed person to pay the price of bullets. In Taiwan, the prisoner first injected with a powerful anesthetic to make him pass out and then a bullet fired into his heart.
5. Squad Shoot
Firing squad is considered to be the most honorable method of execution, and for reasons that are not specifically used on the war criminals. But the methods differ widely from one country to another, but generally turn a blind eye prisoner.
A group of men then fired a bullet into the heart of the prisoner. In some cases, one of the shooters were empty the contents and the other to reduce guilt. None of the shooters out who's been empty and anyone whose weapon contains.
6. Legal Hanging
Hanged done in various ways: the short drop the prisoner was standing on an object which is then pushed to leave prisoners suffocated to death. This is a common method used by the Nazis and is the form most commonly used before the 1850s.
Slow and painful death. There is also a way with the prisoner standing on the ground with ropes around their necks and the gallows and then lifted into the air.
7. Head Chop
In some countries that adhere to Islamic Sharia law, beheading is still a method commonly used in executions. The cases most often seen involving
the beheading by the sword, curved single-edged. While many states do not allow the decapitation by law, Saudi Arabia is the country most often use. Executions are usually carried out on a Friday night in front of the public outside the city's main mosque after prayers. Sanctions can this punishment such as rape, murder, drug-related crimes, and apostasy (rejection of religious beliefs)
8. Guillotine Knives
Contrary to popular belief, Joseph-Ignace Guillotin created the guillotine, he proposed a method of execution for use in all people regardless of class.
He sat on the committee that ultimately designing the device, and Antoine Louis, who first used the guillotine. This is one of two methods of execution in this list are no longer used anywhere in the world. The device itself is a large timber with a slit at the bottom to the neck of the detainee. At the top of the machine is a large knife. Once the inmate is prepared, the knife is dropped, to decide the head and bring immediate death.
9. Rajam law
Stoning to death is throwing stones at the prisoner to death. According to Islamic Sharia law, stoning is a method of execution that can be accepted and used in many Islamic countries. In Iran, stoning is the penalty for adultery and other crimes.
Hodoud Article 104 of the Law stipulates that the stone should not be too large so that a person dies with only two throws, and not so small to be defined as pebbles, but must cause severe injury and death.
10. Garrote
Garrote is a method of execution second on this list are no longer supported by the law in any country, although training in their use is still made in the French Foreign Legion. Garrote is a device that strangle someone to death (as in photo above). It can also be used to break someone's neck. This device is used in Spain until banned in 1978 with the abolition of the death penalty.
Usually consist of the chair in which prisoners held while the executioner tightened a metal band around her neck until she died.
Some versions of the garrote incorporated metal bolts are pressed into the cervical spinal cord. Spiked version is known as Catalan garrote. The last execution by garrote is José Luis Cerveto in October 1977. Andorra is the last country in the world to ban its use, in 1990.
