It is crazy to see the path that a life can take. One day you are living life, the next you are being marched into the forest to be executed.

On the second video with the hangings. We should do to all the death row inmates we have in the U.S.

Cost of the materials is the rope to hang the death row inmate. If we have a gallow with about 20 ropes. We would probably need no more that 200ft of rope.

Some food for thought:
According to High cost of the death penalty. (2014).
*More than 3500 men and women have received this sentence in California since 1978 and NOT ONE has been released, except those few individuals who were able to prove their innocence.

California could save $1 billion over five years by replacing the death penalty with permanent imprisonment.

California taxpayers pay $90,000 more per death row prisoner each year than on prisoners in regular confinement.

California Cost Studies:
Executing the Will of the Voters: A Roadmap to Mend or End the California Legislature's Multi-Billion-Dollar Death Penalty Debacle (2011)


California has spent more than $4 billion on capital punishment since it was reinstated in 1978 (about $308 million for each of the 13 executions carried out)

California spends an additional $184 million on the death penalty per year because of the additional costs of capital trials, enhanced security on death row, and legal representation.

The study’s authors predict that the cost of the death penalty will reach $9 billion by 2030.


•The California death penalty system costs taxpayers more than $114 million a year beyond the cost of simply keeping the convicts locked up for life. (This figure does not take into account additional court costs for post-conviction hearings in state and federal courts, estimated to exceed several million dollars.)


•With 11 executions spread over 27 years, on a per execution basis, California and federal taxpayers have paid more than $250 million for each execution.


•It costs approximately $90,000 more a year to house an inmate on death row, than in the general prison population or $57.5 million annually.


•The Attorney General devotes about 15% of his budget, or $11 million annually to death penalty cases.


•The California Supreme Court spends $11.8 million on appointed counsel for death row inmates.


•The Office of the State Public Defender and the Habeas Corpus Resource Center spend a total of $22.3 million on defense for indigent defendants facing death.


•The federal court system spends approximately $12 million on defending death row inmates in federal court.


•No figures were given for the amount spent by the offices of County District Attorneys on the prosecution of capital cases, however these expenses are presumed to be in the tens of millions of dollars each year.

..

+ We could reuse the rope.

Russians, to be sure. But military, I think, not NKVD. The NKVD was the secret police organization, and unlikely to wear uniforms.
