If you did something bad enough to get on deathrow in the US I believe you deserve the conditions. Why should murders and rapists be comfortable? Their victims sure weren't.
Amen to that
I think the argument though is that there's been people sentenced to death that were later proven innocent
I totally agree
Agreed!!!
@@RedRoseSeptember22 agree to whom ? ?
If I was on death row, my last meal would be an Asian sesame grilled tofu with extra duck and soy sauce, and a strawberry kiwi milkshake... I'm deathly allergic to all 3 of these things, and if I'm going to die, I'd rather do it myself than wait for lethal injection.

A man named Charles Justice got an early parole when he made improvements to the electric chair by replacing the leather restraints with metal hooks that held the inmate’s wrists more tightly against the electrodes, allowing him to leave the prison after serving just 8 years on a 25 year sentence. His freedom didn’t last long though. A few months later he was back in the same prison, this time for first-degree murder and was sentenced to death by the same electric chair he had improved
What an irony, I say.
One might say his brain was a bit... shocking
This sounds like one of those YT shorts where they show a clip from Twilight or something and narrate it "The lonely guy staes across the room at the girl with long hair. Their eyes meet, but they don't know eachother. Later, the guy..." you know what I'm saying

I used to work for the Arkansas Department of Corections. Fried chicken as a last meal was used as a nod to "frying" or being put in the electric chair. It is mentioned it in Damien Echols auto biology. He state he hates the smell of chicken do to how close he was to being executed in the states deathrow. Damien was the only death row inmate in Arkansas history to ever be removed and giving a lesser punishment that resulted in a time served release from prison.

Small note; UK judges do not and have never used a gavel. In the UK only auctioneers use them. Famously, Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the Brit who was the Chief Justice at the Nuremberg Trial, was loaned a gavel by the senior US judge; he never used it. When he wanted to shut someone up, he stared at them in the eye, and would tap his Mont Blanc fountain pain gently on the desk. That always shut them up. It's called gravitas.
Excellent point...👍👍
The UK just killed anyone with an Irish name or who was brown skinned. How does it feel to bow to a German family with deep nazi ties? 😂
Most judges in the USA don't actually use the gavel either. It's more symbolic of authority.
I am surprised you didn't mention Singapore in the whole video, the country with the most executions per capita.
he can't, oth3erwise China will seem reasonable
He really made several really dumb errors in this video. He failed to mention any of the countries in the middle east and north africa where apostasy is a capital crime. He also said the US is technically a democratic republic @02:29 , but that word democratic, or democracy is not mentioned in the declaration of independence, the US constitution, the bill of rights or in any US state constitution. The word democracy or democratic is totally missing, because the founding fathers made it a constitutional republic. Sometimes, I feel like these kinds of errors are intentional.
They also have a Great Quality of Life with little crime and VERY Low Taxes.
I know a pastor who talked to death row inmates and he told me that many inmates would prefer to just get it over with rather than waiting on death row.
When you think about it, it is added punishment.

that's true because you never know when they will clap you. I think i would feel the same if I was in death row just get it over with. instead of living with false hope of anything.

Of course, it was a documentary with that lesbian prositute lady that had killed several "potential customers" I forgot her name but will never forget what happened when they told her the camera's were off, they asked her if she was really guilty and she started crying saying "it doesn't matter, I am tired, don't tell them it wasn't me, please just let them kill me" and began talking nonsense about "how proud she was of her kills" the moment the wardens arrived because they heard her crying. She had been in prison for many years due to them never really finding the conclusive proof that it was her, but she had been "admitting" to several cases for years, all which the police never found proof of because she was tired and "just wanted to go" So whenever I see this lady in videos (she was blonde with shoulder length curly hair and a bitter expression, she's hard to miss) on KZhead and people go "What a monster!: I feel for her, she was mistreated and violated often by "customers" that beat her up instead of paying her

It’s true Texas has a very harsh prison system. However Texas is one of only a few states that automatically give compensation to anyone who has been falsely imprisoned and then exonerated. They also give more money than any other state. $100,000 for every year served. Most states you have to fight for years with lawsuits and you end up getting a fraction of that amount if anything at all.
Texas is also one of the few states that allows a person who was falsely imprisoned to sue the detectives, lawyer, or even the judge.
Do you live in Texas just curious
@@Suisfonia I wonder who the judge would be in *that* lawsuit!
@@rodriguezmauricio8173 If you mean me, no, but I do have quite a few friends who do. Though frankly I wish I did, either that state or Florida. Though in the case of Texas, I'd rather live on the outskirts rather in the big city.
Fat lot of good money is to a person who has just been executed for something they did not do, plus the families wont be jumping for joy. The fact they have such a policy in Texas shows how often their justice system is wrong and should not be allowed to kill people. Texas comes across as a kill them and ask questions latter state! And I seriously doubt some judges are level headed enough to be balanced and fair. There is too much politics in the US justice system and its barmy that politics plays a part on who can be on the Supreme Court. Politics has no place in any legal system. Given that there are some barmy sentencing of over a 100 or 200 years inside! How many 150 to 200 year old people do the judges know? Given these sentences are already harsh there is not justification for the death penalty.

I worked on a Death Row unit in the deep South for over 13 years (I won't say which one). In all my time there, I only knew one convict that I (and anyone who read his transcripts) believed to be innocent. Thankfully, he was released. The rest of them deserved to be where they were. Prison isn't supposed to be easy, but we (staff) did what we could to keep everyone safe and in accordance with the law. Honestly, we even hoped the Feds would come in because it would've been better for everyone. Edit: The last meal here comes from the kitchen.
They should have life sentences instead. The death penalty should be abolished worldwide.

In India, the gallows are in a closed room and are out of bounds for any unauthorized person. What you have shown is of British era. As per the jail manual, the convicts face is covered with a black cloth while being led to the gallows to ensure that he doesn't get a heart attack at the sight of the noose. A news article on Kasab's execution mentioned this.

The five button guilt reducing method was similarly used in firing squads. In some squads, there would be five shooters even though they only needed one. Four of them were loaded with a blank round and one with a real one. The guns were handed out at random so no one knew who took the actual shot.
Which is a nice thought in theory, but doesn’t work in reality. An experienced shooter can tell if they fired a live round or not.
@@ELSappi believe it was so the family’s of those being executed didn’t know who it actually was so they couldn’t single them out . Like medieval times the executioner wore a mask so nobody knew who they were so they couldn’t hate them off duty in a nut shell. I agree with OP a skilled shooter such a police officer would definitely know the difference.
You can tell by the spent round and the way the gun fires if it’s a blank or live round.
You don’t « only need one » shooter in a firing squad. Firing squads don’t aim for the head, but for the chest (generally for the heart). Its possible to miss the vital organ and only injure. Where one rifle bullet might fail, 5 will not. In a firing squad generally only one of the rifle fires a blank. This gives the squad members the possibility of being innocent of the execution.
Its more likely if they have 5 shooters, there is only *one* blank. Not four - one person can miss the target and only badly injure the condemned. Which would be horrific. Four, that ensures the job is done.. But all five can tell themselves they fired the blank.
They should not let people have so many appeals that it takes 20 plus years for the sentence to be carried out especially if they got caught on camera I'm tired of this dying in prison or getting hills timer for some other disease to where their sentence can't be carried out
While I’m in favor of capital punishment, I’m greatly disturbed on hearing that a man could’ve served 48 years before being acquitted.
The thing about Hanging in Japan with the buttons is the same as what they do with firing squads. Usually there is one rifle that is loaded with a blank so that the guards don't know who had it.
you got it backwards. all the rifles are blank but 1 if only one rifle had a blank then all the shooters are killers but the one with a blank
@@Flowmaster925 I think you have it wrong, because there needs to be more than one live round in case of a bad shot. And don't say the riflemen are always experts who never miss, because anyone can flinch especially under emotional stress. Logic dictates one random blank round in the group gives each of the riflemen some reasonable doubt they fired a live round, and that is all that is necessary.
That doubt in itself can be the conscience killer. Knowing that you for sure did it could be tied with upholding the law or whatever. But the fact that you maybe did it or maybe did not do it can make you feel even more guilty.. I don't know if that's just me but yeah
@@officerahmo I think it’s just you. Like the 5 buttons rule, it’s better to not know who did it because you have a 20% chance of doing it but 80% chance of not doing it.
@@zariftahmidshoeb3487 Valid point, I'm just saying it from my point of view.

Anyone else notice that the last meal steak he showed was actually a pork chop??? 😂

In Belarus the trial and act of execution can take up to 2 years. The prisoners family is notified only of the death the day after. No location of the burial. The execution is done by a bullet at in the base of the skull from a corrections officer. Executions do happen but they are relatively rare there compared to some countries.
Thank you for doing such an amazing job very in-depth.
I'm probably biased, but when we had the death penalty in the UK it was all carefully worked out to minimise suffering and I think probably the most 'humane' it could ever be; the condemned would spend 2 weeks (had to include 2 Sundays) in a special double width cell with guards to keep them company, games to play and visits etc, the cell was very cleverly designed so that there were two doors in from the main walkway, one straight off the walkway and the other through a small wood panelled entry room with coat hooks and a bench (the condemned would enter the cell through that one). At 9am the condemned would be sat at a table with their back to the walkway door, the hangman would walk in straight from the walkway and as the prisoner was getting up and turning to see them, they;ed be spun the other way and have their arms pinioned behind their back, then the hangman would take them through the other door to the coat room, they'd be disorientated, but not scared as they knew what was through there, just a small room with coat hooks, which was of course never was a coat room; it was just fake wooden walls to hide the fact the room was the gallows chamber, they'ed then be hooded, noosed and dropped, sometimes within 13 seconds, so they'd not have time to recover from the shock. The hanging was also careful, unlike in America (at the time anyway) where they'd be hung and strangle to death over half an hour, in the UK the condemned was weighed and measured against a preset table to determine the exact length of rope needed to snap the neck, for this the hangman would do a test drop with the rope weighted to pre stretch it and adjust it accordingly (too much drop and the head can be pulled off), The noose was also placed specifiably on the left shoulder so when it tightened it would travel round to the front to guarantee it would snap the neck rather than strangling them. Theres a fantastic documentary on youtube called 'Capital Punishment in the UK - Hanging' which takes half an hour to go over all the process from conviction to death.
What about people who have very short necks,
You act like uk doesnt have a longer history than u.s and didnt have beheadings and other executions in the past
Your Point makes no real sense. Beheadings occurred before America was founded. We are a lot older than the US so of course other less humane systems were used. We didn’t have the lethal injection back then or most other current technologies. In fact I’m pretty sure your country was founded on giving the native Americans the death penalty by much more severe methods than any mentioned so far 🤷♂️
Wtf Do you not watch that programme on bbc2 where they take cases from the past couple of centuries and reevaluate the integrity of the execution? Some of the evidence of the time would be laughed out of court today! There is no reason for capital punishment - the scandanavian countries have proven this time and time again, and if you're really that vengeful - arguably having one's freedom justifiably robbed is more punishment that a quick act of revenge. Those who jump on the right-wing wagon of "they get their meals and a roof" etc clearly aren't ready for the 21st century nor have experienced any form of long term illness or major impediment to their quality of life. And as for the US... Its practically capitalist sponsored prejudice and persecution of minorities and the poor. It's disgusting and they have a nerve calling themselves the "leaders of the free world"
@@user-bo6rd8vv6e well then i'm sure you would love the sentences rapists get in the US, their sentences is like giving candy to the rapist and slapping the victims front and back hand.

Paying your executioner was common in earlier times, at least for the more elite prisoners, those who could be expected to have their heads cut off. This was to ensure that the executioner would be diligent and cut the head off in a single blow rather hacking away at the neck over several blows.
The peasant:oh no
You say "oh no" Till the heads men laughs, cuz he dosent have to sharpen the blade And cutting a spine is like hitting brick, cheap iron can do it, but it gets dull by the next swing 😂 Always pay the headsmen, or have a friend by him

The thing with the tip is actually quiet the old tradition. In Europe during the medieval up to the early modern times it was very common for the sentenced to tip the executioner for a clean and fast execution.
The awful conditions conflict me. On one hand my first instinct is to say that we're all human beings, and we don't treat fellow human beings so inhumanely.

If you're talking about the video creator, I don't think he has any particular opinion. He's just describing the many different implementations of death row around the world - with all their different conditions.
I read a long time ago that in places like Iran, only the victim's family (if not involved in the crime) can choose to forgive the murderer and request blood money as a substitute for death and the judge can then issue a prison term (or the family can instead request the death penalty) . Interestingly there are almost 200 such cases every year where the murderer is forgiven and is spared death and instead gets a prison term. I find this interesting because the death penalty is also seen as a relief for the victim's family and only they can waive it.
I love every video because they are funny , educational and always make my day.
You forgot about Angel Nieves Diaz, who was executed in Florida. He didn't request a special last meal and was given the normal prison food of the day. From reports, he didn't eat any of that, either.
I heard in China if the family of the victim is willing to forgive you and a financial settlement is agreed upon between both families you can get your sentence commuted to life , I watched a documentary about it as well
I do love that China takes white collar crime seriously. However, they have put people to death because of it which seems like a bit much. Then again, I don't know all of the details of those crimes and the extent of the victims' (if there are any besides the state) suffering.
It hits hard not only criminal but also the executoner no one in right mind doesn't want to kill anyone
Their victims didnt get last meals or know when they were going to die.
Last meal - not last meals (Victims already signifies PLURAL - Each only receive ONE meal not Meals Your knowledge of English is poor. Undertake an extensive reading program to educate yourself
@@andrew_koala2974 a simpleton, or a man who doesn't have such a high level of intelligence as they would like to think they do, has to attack a person's grammar when they are unable to present a valid argument against a statement made.
@@andrew_koala2974 there is multiple food in a meal bozo, so u can say meals or food
Yeah. And they also didn't have to live in constant fear that their next day was potentially going to be their last :3
The aim isn’t to replicate the victim’s experience. The victim didn’t wear an orange jumpsuit, the victim didn’t wait in a cell for years, the victim didn’t have an hour’s exercise each day, the victim didn’t have their hair cut short. What’s the point? It’s just silly.
i find it kind of weird how they spend tens of thousands of dollars keeping someone in death row for years and allow them 15 dollars for a last meal
The money spent on death row is for not just one persons punishment, but for all citizens to deter them from doing heinous acts. The last meal doesn't really matter, whether its a lot or a little. Id give em like $30, Enough for pizza and wings just because i'm a softie, then put em to the chair/Needle
That's because they are making money to keep them there, then as soon as their cash flow stops they get cheap af.
@@johntaranto29 funny how the death penalty and even prison in general are actually ineffective when it comes to preventing crime... death penalty should be an option for people serving life and life should only be reserved for those who cannot exist in society without being a threat. Other than that there needs to be a recharged focus in rehabilitation rather than punishment.
@@KamikazeMoth you are correct with this, take a look at countries like norway or sweden. their prisons look more like a proper living space and they give the prisoners options, and ways to learn or contribute to society. ultimately crimes are way lower there and the rehabilitation actually works, as compared to what happens in the US where the atmosphere of prisons actually encourage more crimes.
@@heroninja1125 I can speak from my own experience with the united States justice system. It has more negative than positive built in.
As a Vietnamese citizen, death row is often considered to be horrendous and has been debated a lot, and the sparing pregnant women thing is controversial to most of us, I agree that women shouldn't be put on death row cuz the trauma of death row might have a huge impact for the mother and the child inside her, but there are some women too dangerous for life imprisonment, so death row is the only option, before the death sentence tho, i suggest giving birth to the child first and give them up for adoption.
That, I agree with, waiting until after the child is born before executing the pregnant inmate. The unborn child is an innocent party who didn't sign up for all that, said unborn child should be spared. Once the child is born, and placed in a safe home with a loving and caring family, I would be more ok with the execution. But actually executing a woman while still pregnant? I find that reprehensible and vile, only because of the innocent life inside her who has not been born yet. I am American, and while I do understand why the death penalty is in place, in certain circumstances I can accept it if the crime is serious enough, just don't kill an unborn child in the process of executing a death row inmate.
How can someone be too dangerous for life imprisonment? Are your prisons made out of cartbox, and do you have toddlers as guards?
Pregnant? How long from sentencing til death. In America it takes years & years.. no one would be pregnant
Well in the USA many death row inmate sit there for over 20 years because it take so long to go though the appeals process. I think death row cases automatically go though the appeals process unless the offender decides to wave it. The only person who I know that was put to death fairly quickly after his crime was Timothy McVeigh. He was on death row for 6 years. But in China is you are in good health your organs will be haversted and maybe killed based on when they need the organs. But I can see ordering my favorites and then realize I have no appetite.
We are all in Death row...
I would want my last meal to be with my whole family, (most are around in different parts of the U.S.) and my BFF Jaida, we have been friends since Kindergarten, (1 decade of friendship so far!)
I didn't see the word with and thought you wanted to eat your family and BFF and had to read it multiple times to make sure you weren't a cannibal
Wow! That's a lot of unnecessarily specific info you shouldn't be sharing.
so you are a 16 years old future murder ?

*Is this the best time?*
Yea! The best time to trade & make profits from uranium stocks *(DYOR)* do your own research. Through a professional *Nancy* *Lynn* *Lewis* you can look her up!
I'm a Vietnamese. And yes. the condition is just like that. For inmates, it's completely normal. For those that possesses danger to the society, such harsh condition is, while uncomfortable, nevertheless justifiable. In my countries, there are many cases of convicts who shows little to no humanity left. So having their movement in jail limited is needed. Even if they are kept in different containment from normal inmates, there's still a chance of them to harm others & even the wardens. Fortunately, this, more or less, encourages other inmates to reform themselves during the time behind bars. Except those deserving death sentence, inmates that proves they are no longer a threat to the society can have their sentence lowered. To the point they can be released before Tet holiday. So as harsh as the condition of death row inmates are in, that just proves why being a good citizen is the key for a safe society.
i do hope they are allowed access to books to help keep the time moving, a book is defenitly helpfull for that
Very amazed I love watching things that educate my brain instead of all that b**** good to learn something new everyday
They are NOT watched by “several wardens” during their showers. They are monitored by OFFICERS. A Warden runs the entire prison from his/her office. They don’t mingle with inmates the way you described. It shouldn’t take an officer to tell you that especially if you did your research.
In the UK and Australia, "Wardens" are the name for Guards...while the "Warden" is called a Governor. Other places like India with UK Influenced Systems also use Wardens as the name for Guards...because Warden means Guardian. It depends on Who Wrote The Script and if they were British or not.
Different titles in different countries.
Iowa does not have the death penalty contrary to what your video states. We moved here when I was a teen bc my step dad was a prison warden in a death penalty state and due to his religious beliefs, he had a hard time with it. Hence why we moved here.
Iowa didn't show up on any of the maps
I love how they're trying to make it seem so terrible and punitive lives that are lead in prison and especially death row clearly if you're in prison, the odds are extremely high that you committed the crime none of us should feel the slightest bit of compassion for people in prison who are rightfully convicted it's time to highlight the victims not the people who victimized them
It didn't always take years between sentencing & execution in the US. For example...On 21 March 1935 Albert Fish was sentenced to death & executed on 16 January 1936. Likewise Charles Starkweather was sentenced to death on 23 May 1958 & then he was executed on 25 June 1959.
Depend of the case. I think. If still needed investigation on case, it might be longer.
Those were both prior to the Gregg v Georgia decision in 1976. Gregg vs Georgia forced the "two part trial" where guilt is decided, and then penalty afterward. Jury must decide whether aggregating factors apply, to qualify for death. They can hear mitigating factors, that can sway them against death. Jury then votes on whether to give death. Most states require a unanimous vote for death. Since Gregg, there have been further decisions requiring the courts to "check the boxes" to ensure the death sentence is legal and correctly applied. That's what takes so long. I occurs to me that that last sentence sounds a bit irritated. Understand that I mean nothing of the sort. Although I live in Texas, and am staunchly pro DP, I WANT the reviews in place. I want assurance that the condemned was given a full chance to make his case.
It always irritates me that someone is sentenced to death, but then stay in prison for 20+ years. Usually die from old age or natural causes. I do understand the fear of killing an innocent person, but then why sentence anyone to death if you’re so unsure of our court systems? On top of that, bing in isolation for years is extremely cruel and sick. People go crazy…..crazier. Just end them, as long as it’s a sure thing. Now that we have DNA and better ways to be SURE we have the right person, I don’t understand the delay.
Albert Fish was an unbelievably horrid person.
Those are the exception to the general rule. Doesn't really mean shit
Alabama also allows the sheriff to take home "leftover funds" from prisoner's food budget, this incentivizing the underfeeding of inmates. Alabama has the worst legal prisons in the USA
So we’re lying now? This is NOT TRUE.
Wow I didn't know that. How messed up
Hey don't be talkin bout my birth state like that.
Seriously? I don't really believe that's an allowed thing. Sounds like that's just something people have heard. I don't see how that could actually be legal.
@@lesterine77It's not
You should do a fun fact about the Mississippi River and Mississippians 💯🙏🏾
If it had to be my last meal before being executed, I'd go for a few bottles of vodka (even a cheap brand would do). Being drunk out my skull, would at least mean not noticing being executed.
I live in Kansas, one of the states that still have capitol punishment on the books. We pretty much have a moratorium on it as no prisoner has been executed in the state since the 60's.
Thanks for sharing
Which 60s exactly ? Learn how to use a calendar and express dates correctly - Check a calendar and any NEWS paper to see how dates are to be written or are you just mentally lazy ? Pay attention to detail and LEARN

Weak ass state
Hell if I was on death row I'd choose KFC, have you seen their prices lately? I'm not on death row and I have a hard time justifying the execution of my wallet.
A serial killer on death row is given a bowl of cereal for his last meal. After he ate the last bite, the guard said "damn, you killed that huh?" 😂
Americans: “we have freedom” American prisons: HERE HAVE A TASTE OF UR OWN FREEDOM
As someone who’s spent almost a decade in prison I can only imagine who awful it would be if u were a death row prisoner & never knew the execution date. You’d have to go to sleep & wake up everyday wondering “will I be alive tomorrow, next week, next month?” You’d never be able to make any plans & id imagine it would kill(at least initially) any motivation to make ANY goals or plans. At least in the US u know you’ll have a decade or more before u even get close to being executed. Here, at least u can plan a visit with family members a month from now & KNOW you’ll actually be around for it, u can start a relationship with someone(penpal, new friend, etc) & feel there’s a purpose to it, u can sign up for school or vocational classes knowing you’ll be around to finish the course, etc, etc. As a death row inmate in a country that might execute u any day I imagine you’d go through a stage of “why bother? I might be dead tomorrow.” Although even in the US things can still get flipped upside down on u. I remember hearing a story based on the death row inmates of a certain facility. On this particular day two inmates were supposed to be executed & another guys execution date was like a month or two down the road. Anyway on the day those two inmates were supposed to be executed the governor called & commuted the sentence to life in prison for the guy who was supposed to be executed second. Since the facility was prepared for two executions they just moved the next guy up who’s execution date wasn’t supposed to be carried out for another few months. Since all death row inmates were all housed on the same wing that guy had to hear the celebration from the guy who just escaped death & now was dealt the surprise of having to take his place
Considering the the terrible things most of them did to their victims, what they put the victims families throughout the lives they ruined I don’t feel bad for them at all, they’ve got it too good in some places
God damn. That’s a crazy story.
What state & when was the one where they moved the date up?
@@elliottcorbin9522 I can’t remember the specifics. Actually I heard it on KZhead. They did give names, dates and where it happened, it’s just been a while since I heard it so I can’t remember.
Yeah I don’t care. If a child molester, rapist, or murderer were on the death row, no sympathy whatsoever.
You leave oatmeal raisin cookies out of this. It's them cookies with nuts in them that are evil.

Oatmeal raisin cookies are the best.
In NY there is cable tv, satellite radio, flat screen tvs, android tablets, ipads and more. You have to pay for most of these (or you family/friends pay it).
I wonder if Iwao Hakamada has a Guinness World Record for that. If not, he more than deserves one.
He actually does though I'm pretty sure that's a record no one wants.
I wouldn't even want that record for 10 seconds.
