What is Death row?
'''Death row''' is a place where people convicted of bad things go to be [[Execution|executed]] using different methods. Some are [[lethal injection]] or a [[gas chamber]], or even an [[electric chair]]. Death row is often known as [[capital punishment]] because many years ago, people who were convicted of really bad things such as [[killing]] were executed by being [[hanged, drawn and quartered]], [[firing squad]], [[gas chamber]], [[guillotine]], or [[shooting]]. == Punishments == === Gas chamber === Gas chamber is a tool used to kill somebody by breathing in the gas and [[choking]] to death. === Guillotine === Guillotine is a tool that was used long before other tools were created. It is an object designed to cut off the head of a person by dropping a cutting tool that is controlled by a pulling object. === Firing squad === Firing squad is a killing method used in the early 1900s, including [[World War II]]. The method is used when army officers shoot a person to death. === Electric chair === The electric chair is a tool that is still used now. It is a chair with [[electricity]] flowing through it designed to shock a person and kill them in minutes. === Lethal injection === Lethal injection is a killing method that is also used to this day. It is made to inject a person with one or more drugs that will kill them in minutes, or even seconds if the drugs are very bad, or a large dose is given. ==Related pages== *[[Death penalty]] [[Category:Imprisonment and detention]] [[Category:Punishments]] [[Category:Capital punishment]] {{stub}}
