Long drop hanging is the quickest and most painless form of execution that still leaves an intact body for viewing.

Long drop hanging is the quickest and most painless form of execution that still leaves an intact body for viewing. Yeah, but the longer caskets are more expensive.

Long drop hanging is also the most demanding of a high degree of competence for the hangman. Do it badly and an unplanned decapitation can occur. This happened in New Mexico at the public execution of a think Bad Jack Ketchum. Not pretty. The rather old film “Tom Horn’’ with Steve McQueen does do a good job of showing the rather elaborate preparation required for well done long drop execution.

Not always “intact”.
“Standard” is fine.
