[quote:REAR VIEW (NLI) 150179:MV8zMjM1NTVfNTQ2NTI2MF84MUI2QjU3RQ==] I guess I saw too many Western Movies and TV... I may have been wrong about the taught/tight stuff and offer my forum wide appology... Here are the facts on hanging: ______________________________ Standard drop hanging - Where the standard drop proves inadequate to break the neck, the prisoner seems often to suffer a more cruel death where little or no drop is used. The force generated by a drop of 5 or 6 feet is very considerable and does great damage to the skin, muscles and ligaments of the neck but does not necessarily induce asphyxia any sooner. This description of a hanging at San Quentin prison in California is from Clinton Duffy who was the warden there from 1942 to 1954 and relates to the execution of Major Raymond Lisemba on May 9th, 1942. "The man hit bottom and I observed that he was fighting by pulling on the straps, wheezing, whistling, trying to get air, that blood was oozing through the black cap. I observed also that he urinated, defecated, and droppings fell on the floor, and the stench was terrible". "I also saw witnesses pass out and have to be carried from the witness room. Some of them threw up." It took ten minutes for the condemned man to die. When he was taken down and the cap removed, "big hunks of flesh were torn off" the side of his face where the noose had been, "his eyes were popped," and his tongue was "swollen and hanging from his mouth. His face had turned purple." Fortunately not all standard drop hangings were so gruesome and many prisoners did not show any signs of physical suffering. The long drop - It takes between a half and three quarters of a second for a person to reach the end of the drop after the trap opens. The force produced by the prisoner's body weight multiplied by the length of fall and the force of gravity, coupled with the position of the noose is designed to cause a virtually instant fracture-dislocation of the neck which leads to death by comatose asphyxia. It is thought that brain death will occur in around 6 minutes and whole body death normally within 10-15 minutes. It is very variable, however, with official reports of from 3-25 minutes for total death to have occurred. Death is still ultimately caused by asphyxia but the condemned person is deeply unconscious at the time due to dislocation of the cervical vertebrae and the crushing and/or separation of the spinal cord. The face may still become engorged and then cyanosed and the tongue may protrude. Some slight movements of the limbs and body may occasionally occur but are almost certainly due to spinal reflexes. The prisoner may also still urinate and/or defecate as their muscles relax in death. Here is an official government photograph of the long drop hanging of an Iranian drug trafficker in Kuwait in 1998.
