John Saxon - a true journeyman actor. When I was growing up, the guy popped up EVERYWHERE! And played EVERYTHING! I mean, from "Enter the Dragon" as one of the "good guys" to a guest star shot on "Starsky & Hutch" playing a male ballet dancer who thought he actually was a vampire!...😁

[@scotcarr3390]

@@michaelstephens360 Can't argue that. Both guys can play anything. The only difference is that Saxon was a pretty boy even in his later years while Trejo's a weathered pro. I don't even give him grief for all the direct-to-video he does. Came into acting pretty late, turned his life around & he clearly loves to act. The paychecks are merely icing on the cake...😎

[@dora1980]

[@DAngelo136]

A couple of technical items: 1. The condemned's head is shaved and one pant leg is split to accomodate the leg and head electrode. 2. There's usually a tie down team to strap the condemned into the chair; they have been practicing constantly as directed by state procedures. 3.A saline soaked sponge is placed on the condemned's head beneath the head electrode to facilitate conductivity. 4.Generally when the current is turned on, the subject becomes rigid until the current is turned off.

In some cases where the heart is beating doesn't mean life is present. Life is gone when the brain is gone.

[@fizjoterapiasan9359]

Not quite right, as long as signs of circulation are present, one can't be pronounced dead. On the opposite, no circulation also can't tell about death, only about a necessity of CPR. In the far past no heartbeat was indeed equal to death, until 1960 or so. Now death can be pronounced fully when several symptoms appear combined, such as flat ECG line (assystolia), no pupil reaction etc.

[@Rayman1971]

@@fizjoterapiasan9359 I was taught that 30 min is the time you are able to call it, if you are doing CPR alone, without assistance. Otherwise it's keep going until relieved or stood down by paramedics... I hadn't thought about it like a doctor though... but makes sense that it would be both brain function as well as cardiovascular...

[@fizjoterapiasan9359]

​@@Rayman1971 a lot has changed since the past, and it used to vary between countries, now there is one pattern from International Trauma Life Support and American/European Heart Association, with minor adjustments depending of how first response systems work in certain countries - how teams are built, what ambulances are equipped with etc. However they all tell CPR must be maintained until one is pronounced dead by someone with necessary skills. Other cases when you stop - if someone is revived, if a sudden danger/need of evacuation occurs or if you become too exhausted and unable to continue. There are however cases of "absolute signs of death" such as beheading, decomposing body or post-mortem stiffness, when you don't have to do anything besides reporting. All we learn however doesn't work in a death row, where intention is not to save, but to kill somebody. I don't know how examination works there, as the purpose is opposite to all we learn CPR for.

The Spanish Inquisition used this method for interrogation but without the lethal electricity. It was called The Comfy Chair. Often if the victim was made of sterner stuff they would use a technique called The Soft Cushions. I reckon Cardinal Fang must have been a relative of the Pope. He was the bane of Richelieu's life.

I'm not saying kill everyone who goes to jail, you know what I mean? People who were proven with overwhelming evidence to be a 1st degree murderer in my eyes should not be allowed back into society. On the other hand, people who committed single, non premeditated murders (I believe second degree?) can be rehabilitated. You're absolutely right about the death penalty being meaningless in that regard. However it does instill fear, ie: if you kill somebody, there's a good chance you too will die.

[@schoolaccount2294]

they make it look like its not painful and it goes by quick-

[@patrickvolk7031]

That is the main reason the methods the US use are chosen. The ideal is showing the state just 'shutting off' the condemned, with no gore. Hanging has some science behind it, and too much drop results in decapitation, and too little can result in strangulation (with gasping, choking, and writhing). That's why the electric chair was adopted. And the gas chamber, which is not good. The condemned will naturally fight it, and it makes you gasp for air. It's not quick. The electric chair is more humane I believe, but it makes for a bad spectacle. It's not meant to suffocate the person, it's meant to destroy brain and heart tissue as will as suffocate the person. The brain is protected by the skull which makes the electricity want to flow around. Worse for the people watching because it literally cooks the condemned. You can kill someone with a 9-volt battery, if you get past the skin. Not many millamps to kill, while the electric chair uses a couple thousand times that because of the skin and the skull. Consider that for animals we use electricity or a captive bolt to stun them, and then slice their throats. A bullet to the back of the head is probably the most humane, but it would be horrifying to watch (and not feasible in slaughterhouses). The guillotine is probably similar in being humane. Even with lethal injection, they give a paralytic so the condemned doesn't seem to react, or they used to. For euthanasia in the EU, they give a fatal dose of barbiturates (which has an emetic in it to protect against accidental ingestion. They give the person a drug to tolerate taking the fatal dose beforehand). You get agonal breathing, as the body slows down working, but also absorbing the drug. The death penalty is brutal. I'm not against it, but I think it should be shown to be brutal, and not made nice just for public consumption.

Some subtitles to this movie would be great Greetings from South Africa

[@alvinsimable]

Totally agree

[@willd5105]

I've seen dozens of high dollar Hollywood production electrocution scenes which were laughably inaccurate in the basic details of the process and here in this Spanish language television program, they nail it. 98% I'd rank it since they didn't show the little bit of water that squeezes out when the sponge contacts are pressed to the skin; to be fair though, sea sponge does have excellent water retention properties.

[@patrickvolk7031]

They don't normally use a breaker switch like that. They push a button, which will cycle the electricity. Florida if I recall correctly used a 5-25 second of high voltage (like 3,000) and then low (600, where the amps increased). The high voltage is intended to stun or cause unconsciousness, and the low is intended to destroy tissue. I think it was 3 cycles for 90 seconds total. This was pretty accurate it seems though. They like to throw sparking and electric noises in there.

[@willd5105]

@@patrickvolk7031 It's sort of a misnomer that the button or switch the operator pushes is what directly controls the flow of electricity going to the chair. What that button or switch (depending on the state) actually does is start a mechanical timer which in turn controls a series of oil filled relays that do all the switching between the high and low cycles. The reason it has to be an oil filled switch is because currents/voltages this high will arc through air which could cause a switch to physically blow up. Different states used various combinations of currents and voltages at different times but ~2000vAC was about the near universal standard. No state went as high as 3000vAC, the highest I'm aware of was the Nebraska chair at 2460vAC @7-10A which was way too high. It frequently led excessive smoking due to arcing between the skin and the head electrode. Florida's chair put out 2000-2200vAC @ 9-10A for 10 seconds, 1000vAC for 30 seconds and then back up to ~2000vAC for the last 10 seconds; rarely did it ever take more than 1 cycle in Florida. Georgia on the other hand started out with 2000vAC @ 5A and dipped back and forth between that and 240vAC for 5 minutes. Unlike in Florida, the Georgia chair frequently needed multiple cycles to finish the job; 2000vAC @ 5A is half the power of 2000vAC @ 10A. Earlier chairs were often even less powerful, the Sing Sing chair from 1891 to 1921 maxed out @ 2.5A!

Hey, that switch they used is actually a "Square D" disconnect switch. Additionally when the executioner pull the switches handle down he was actually turning the circuit, OFF. As a retired electrician I have installed many of these switches. This device would not be used in a real execution! Very cheesy movie.
