Warning! This post is NOT for the faint hearted. The topic of today's post is none other than.... THE ELECTRIC CHAIR!
It lurks in a hidden corner, harmless, and innocent. It's large wooden frame suggests that there is no secrets beneath it. It weighed a ton, yet it looked as it was as light as a feather, for it was not burdened by murders, blood and horrors. The unsuspecting victim skips daintily to it and sits down, smiling to herself. All was quiet. A metal latch closed on the victim's head but she did not scream, thinking it was nothing more than a ....... BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!
A second later, she lays dead.

Right, today i'm about to tell you the concept of the electric chair. The electric chair works by sending the electric shocks up the brain. Here's a video about the electric chair:
This video above is telling us the steps and procedures when they're putting a criminal on the electric chair. It is a very inhumane thing to do.
This video below is taken from The Man Who Wasn't There. It ends where he is about to be electrocuted by the evil commanders. They didn't show you that he was being electrocuted, just about to be. It is actually very sad.
I really recommend you to watch the show. It's so touching and it depicts the cruelty of the electric chair. Did you hear his final words? It was pretty heart-rending. Everything is just so real.
Explanation:
A helmet with electrodes with a wet sea sponge is placed on the victim's head, followed by little electrodes in the ankle. He is then strapped in the chair by chest, ankles, wrists and lap. The current is then turned on to about 2000 volts for 8 seconds, the 1000 volts for 20 seconds then 2000 volts again for another 8 seconds. Ta-dah. The victim is dead. But if he's not, then the whole cycle would be repeated. Well, by now, the victim would be burnt and have alot of lacerations on his skin.
*shudders* i really think people should put a stop to the use of electric chair. It really is very cruel.
May God bless those who had suffered in the hands of this vile contraption. Amen.
