Some states still allow hangings. Another did allow firing squad.

I say, if we are going to sentence a prisoner to death, we need to start ensuring that the sentences are carried out and not 20 years later in some cases.

What type of justice is that. Some might say it is still justice. Justice delayed is wrong.

Thanks for the comment.

I concur with the "no 20 years of appeals". One appeal if it looks as though there was a miscarriage of justice, new evidence, or something of the sort. That's it.

Mercy to the cruel is cruelty to the innocent.

I agree, after you found guilty your execution should be like within a 3-5 year window.

If you hypathetically did some heinous crime and your ordered to be executed and you had a choice of your execution what would you choose? I think I would choose hanging with a thick black bag over my head.
