Brennan also authored a dissent from the denial of certiorari in "Glass v. Louisiana". In "Glass", the Court chose not to hear a case that challenged the constitutionality of the use of the electric chair as a form of execution. Brennan wrote:  Th[e] evidence suggests that death by electrical current is extremely violent and inflicts pain and indignities far beyond the "mere extinguishment of life." Witnesses routinely report that, when the switch is thrown, the condemned prisoner "cringes," "leaps," and "fights the straps with amazing strength." "The hands turn red, then white, and the cords of the neck stand out like steel bands." The prisoner's limbs, fingers, toes, and face are severely contorted. The force of the electrical current is so powerful that the prisoner's eyeballs sometimes pop out and "rest on [his] cheeks." The prisoner often defecates, urinates, and vomits blood and drool. Brennan concluded by stating that electrocution is "nothing less than the contemporary technological equivalent of burning people at the stake." In 1987, Brennan received the U.S. Senator John Heinz Award for Greatest Public Service by an Elected or Appointed Official, an award given out annually by Jefferson Awards. In 1989, the historic Hudson County Courthouse in Jersey City, New Jersey, which had opened in 1910, was named the William J. Brennan Court House in his honor. In that same year he received the Freedom medal. Upon his death, Brennan lay in repose in the Great Hall of the United States Supreme Court Building. On November 30, 1993, President Bill Clinton presented Brennan with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2010, Brennan was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. In 2010, William J. Brennan High School was founded in San Antonio, Texas, honoring Justice Brennan. Brennan Park across from the historic Essex County Courthouse in Newark, New Jersey, was named in Brennan's honor and a statue of him was erected in front of the Essex County Hall of Records by historian Guy Sterling.
