Originally posted by zeitghostApart from Ole Sparky, the electric chair, which is almost certainly not painless and is basically a form of electrical cooking.
The gas chamber is also not painless; prospective occupants were advised by kinder operators to take a deep breath as the cyanide crystals fell into the acid so that a goodly amount of cyanide gas had evolved by the time they required another breath.
There was the interesting method known as being pressed to death, wherein the victim was put under a board and large stone were placed thereupon, the nastier bit being the sharp stone placed under the spine so that the spine fractured before death...
Dear old Vlad used to impale people on wooden stakes driven up the fundament with hammers...
The Romans had an interesting take on the hot seat with an iron chair with a fire underneath it...
Most hangings involved slow strangulation rather than the more sophisticated drop method.
The garrot forced an iron spike through your cervical spinal column.
All jolly good fun, but not necessarily painless.Comment

Originally posted by Old GregI don't see how we've one too far with the skills side, when people are leaving with no skills - I assume it's being badly done.
I say outsource our prisons to Thailand. Much cheaper than the current prison service. Will make people think twice and is totally in line with what a lot of large companies are already doing!!

Originally posted by ArdescoWell at the moment there is no fear and everybody bleats on about giving the offenders skills and making them part of the community. We are too worried about providing the inmates a nice life with lots of opportunities at the moment, the fact they aren't learning anything just shows that offering too much doesn't have the desired effect.

Originally posted by RantorThere are a lot of people on Death Row in the US, they execute loads of people in some states but that doesn't do much to deter violent crime. Fear is not an issue.
So why bother, pay Thailand £500,000 a year to deal with all our prisoners, job done, thank you very much.
I'll even act as an agent for a nominal fee of 10% to get the ball rolling if you would like!!Comment

Seeing as there's such an interest in this, and in making the penal system less expensive, I'd like to introduce sponsored live Pay per View celebrtiy fights to the death.
