About 80 percent of all types of executioners have their marriage in shambles. Oh wait no thats meat factory workers, not executioners.

@@SteveCarras yeah. I sure hope they are.
Fun facts about medieval executioners:
They were paid by looting the body of the condemned (below the neck).
They could perform weddings.
They were required to stand at the back of the church.
They were often poor and shop owners were known to give them food/goods as charity
wow
@Joseph Bleifus same, they would be VERRYYYY rich
Not charity, I've read that they had the RIGHT to pick food for free.
Wow
They also did surgeries. Most of the time they made their money as surgeons. One famous executioner mentioned how he only did a handful of executions in the 30 years he had the role while he did hundreds if not thousands of surgeries.
None of these prison death torture stories ever bothered me till this one the narration music and script set it up perfectly 10/10
This video gave me the chills
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."
--Mark Twain
Great. One I don't remember and the other seems unlikely to ever come
There was an executioner from Naples I have read about who was famous for making the execution as painless as possible. His family had used this tradition for generations before him. He would take a ball made of steel, and spin it while putting it against the convict’s back. This would end up putting them at ease, and making sure that it was the best death possible for them. He unfortunately ended up dying in an accident involving a horse, with the only other person to know the technique dying of disease shortly after, meaning this spin technique is lost forever.
why!!!!!!!!!!!😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
yeah that doesn't make much sense
- Lisa What do you mean? The technique would hit the person’s nerves in such a way that it would make them feel nothing due to their nervous system blocking out pain.
There was also british executioner Albert Pierrepoint.He prided himself with hanging criminals as fast and humanly as possible. It usually took around 15 seconds from entering execution chamber to hanging.His record was 7 seconds.

They expected a clean-ish execution, not a horrifyingly slow one.

@Everything Science, ur channel is actually pretty high quality, surprised your don't have more subscribers
There’s one crucial detail you guys forgot to mention. After each drug is administered, round of saline is administered to prevent blockage so the next drug isn’t clogged in the tubes.
Surely the worst thing about being on death row is knowing exactly when, where and how your death will occur.
@Nokia 2300 what happens in Japan?
In Japan, the inmate only finds out his execution date when that date comes up...
I wonder though, what if you request a cyanide pill as a last meal. Do they have to grant it?
@@aslanwydock2004 nah lol they dont have to grant requests
On the contrary. Knowing when you will die allows you to get your affairs in order.
4:18 "That way no one would know who fired the fatal shots - including the executioners themselves." Total BS. That is a fairy tale promulgated by ignorance. Anyone who has ever fired a live round from a rifle of a caliber used in a firing squad would have no doubt about whether the round they fired during an execution was blank or live. The difference experienced by the rifleman is unmistakable.
Yup.they should all have sharp ammo tbh.
Only Americans know that 😅
but it still makes it easier to tell yourself "maby I really wasent the one who shot him"
if you really dont wanna belive that you killed the dude, you will come up with something
Why not have them all fire normal rounds so they can all share the blame, or so they can say they don't know who fired the shot that finished them.
Alarm: *Goes off*

conclude because how could you watch ppl die and if that was not enough you torture those prisoners
Eren Solak no, it’s not enough if the prisoners killed and possibly tortured others themselves. They caused immeasurable suffering for the victim’s families. If they didn’t want to be on death row they shouldn’t have done the crime. Yes I know some people are innocent, but that’s extremely rare nowadays (rare for them to be put on death row if they don’t have 100% proof)
@@CHloE748 a study showed that up to 6 percent of people sentenced to death in America were actually innocent.
@Henry Suyou can always Google it to confirm 😂 My bad I got the percent wrong - it's 4.1 percent of people not 6. The study was released in 2014 and done by the National Academy of Sciences. Not exactly a few decades ago 😊
@Henry Su if you try giving it a read you'll know where the study gets its information from 😊
I don’t know, some people commit horrible crimes but I’ve always found it hard to tell myself that one person has the right to decide when other people die.
Bro why did you have to make the guy being executed look so much like Bob Ross

mans reading the book right to left like a man a culture
You got the firing squad thing backwards. One gun was loaded with a blank, the others all had live ammunition. Much easier and quicker to do it that way rather than relying on the accuracy of a single gunman.
Thank you, I’m writing a story that has an executioner and needed knowledge on what happens behind those doors as I haven’t witnessed an execution myself.
The cartoon videos make it look less scary than it acually is lol
Commenters; allow me to ask you a question. Were you an executioner, would you prefer to know the details of crimes committed by the prisoners you execute, or know nothing and just get it over with?
On one hand, knowing of their crimes may instill you with some sort of twisted sense of justice, whereas not knowing would make it easier to emotionally distance yourself from the act of killing. What do you guys think?
All Correctional officers have access to an inmate's file so they know exactly the type on inmate they are dealing with , inmates crimes are never hidden from correctional officers
Fun fact: There was a person by the nickname of Mad Dog who was executed via electric chair at the age of 36 in 1960. His name was Joseph Taborsky, and he was a serial killer who was sentenced to death after a string of robberies and murders in Connecticut in the 1950s
Honestly, one of the jobs in this world I would want to avoid and would never want to have.
I love how this channel not only tells you what happens but also gives you background info on the topic
Do more death row stuff!! Love it

Exceptions.
Katherine Howard, 19,fifth wife of Henry the Eighth wrongfully sentenced to death for having an affair which did not happen. She practiced in her cell for hours before the date of her execution laying her head on the chopping block. When the time came she shakily walked up to the chopping block, lay her head down on it and started praying. At 19, an executioner swing his axe trying to hit her neck, but ended up hitting her back, taking the axe up and then chopping her head off.
Anne Boleyn was granted a skilled French Swordsman for her death. What about Katherine?
Before she was executed she declared, “I have only ever loved one man - Thomas Culpepper’. He was arrested and executed!

The executioner is literally committing a crime by doing this
Yes, in some states they put the cause of death as homicide. Which makes the job of executioner that much harder, morally
@@DontDefuse that’s pretty evil
Technically the state is committing the crime - not the executioner his or herself.
No. Since the executioner is a protector of law and criminal is a criminal

0:21 NO! NOT BOB ROSS
The most famous and prolific american executioner was Robert G Elliot, over his 40 years of service he executed over 600 people in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont.
Because of his preference for elegantly tailored suits and his relaxed professional demeanor he became known as "The Gentleman Executioner Of New York State".

The executioner: *Has marshmallow hands*
How long does it take to pump out one of these informative animated and awesomely narrated episodes? I tend to binge watch on autoplay. Lol
In Florida when an execution is scheduled, the warden makes a selection from one of seven approved executioners, the list is not written down, it's kept in the wardens head, and no executioner is used twice in a row, a rendezvous is arraigned, and a prison van that is curtained off, so that the driver can't see who he's picking up is sent to transport them, the selected executioner, gets in the van, and dons a black hooded robe,that conceals their identity, and is taken to the prison where they do their task, after they do they are paid in cash, so that there is no public record of their identity, and they are taken back to where they were picked up, they take off the robe, and slip out the back of the van, so that the driver, never sees their face, the warden only knows their name, and their phone number,but otherwise cannot identify them, and the list is passed from warden to warden verbally, again so that there is no public record of their identity, but it's believed that all are members of law enforcement.
When you’re so early that RUclips broke
150 dollars isnt worth a human soul no matter how terrible of a prison they are.
I love these stories about death and triumphs
That one guy in Texas just had to ruin the last meal for everyone else.
A way to get out an execution: ask for a big bowl of fruit that is out of season.
When they say, “buts that’s out of season!”
Just say, “oh I don’t mind waiting.”

Hey Infographics, would make a video about the Mining Wars. Like the battle at mount Blair.
What if the accused is innocent? That would wreck the executioner's life.
“There is no excuse for Taking a life, Even if they have Taken a life themselves.”
They’ve got Bob Ross behind bars @ 0:21 😂
If I was the executioner, I will say a joke, calming or evil message to the dead man to give them a laugh before they die . Like "I'm am a pharmacist but also a harmacist" "same day shipping enabled" or
"painless mode deactivate"
"telegram for the condemned"
"just pop it in the basket, he'll read it later"
What?
Imagine coming from a family of executioners...and being on death row... x👄x
Honestly I'm strongly against execution in all but the most extreme of circumstances. Dragging out a death sentence for 20+ years is do unbelievably unnecessary. Life in solitary confinement would be a far worse fate. Allowing old age and regret to seep into even the most hardened of murderers and making them slowly go mad with guilt. Not to mention never being allowed to see anyone, not even the guards.
Problem is, a lot of criminals like serial killers don't feel guilt or remorse.
