Product Description
Since its first use in 1890, the electric chair has been the means of legal execution for over 4,300 individuals in 23 states. Its use in recent years has steadily declined, and in many states now the chair is used only as a museum display. This book provides a history of the electric chair and analyzes its features, its development, and the manner of its use.
