:23:02
they now are faced with the task
of executing this man...
:23:06
with equipment
that's defective,
:23:09
with equipment
that's gonna cause pain.
:23:16
Even with
a good execution...
:23:18
you get some burning
at the electrodes.
:23:22
It's a very
distasteful thing...
:23:24
for the guard who
has to unstrap the inmate
from the electric chair...
:23:28
after the execution.
:23:31
Normally, if we think of a belt
with holes in it and the pin
that goes through the holes,
:23:35
that guard has to then
compress all the flesh
and everything on the body.
:23:39
It's oozing,
because it's been cooked.
:23:42
He has to get the body fluids
on his hands.
:23:46
With the equipment
we designed,
:23:48
all of the straps
are instant-release.
:23:51
They're the same
as the safety belts in your car.
:23:54
You hit a button
and the strap opens.
:23:56
Another thing that we do is,
our electric chair
contains a drip pan.
:24:01
All executees,
:24:03
during the execution,
:24:05
lose control
of their bodily functions.
:24:07
They urinate and defecate
in their pants, on their chair.
:24:10
This normally winds up
on the chair and on the floor
directly beneath the chair.
:24:16
This is a disgusting thing
when it occurs.
:24:19
It's a very inhumane thing
to allow a person
who's being executed,
:24:24
a human being...
:24:27
who should be afforded
the greatest dignity of all
because he is losing his life--
:24:33
It's a disgusting
and a degrading thing
to allow him to defecate...
:24:37
and, quite frankly,
piss on the floor.
:24:41
Additionally,
the urine,
:24:43
when it hits the floor--
and I think everybody knows that
urine is highly conductive--
:24:47
it's normally mopped up.
:24:50
If there's a second execution
or a third execution--
:24:53
and this sometimes occurs
when they have more than one
execution at the same time--
:24:57
the guards in the death house
now have to work and stand
on a floor...
