Chapter 396 Methods of Execution

Why are there ambulances at every execution?

This is a curious and little-known question. In fact, in this serious and solemn occasion, the presence of the ambulance is not accidental, but has important significance.

As we all know, when the death penalty is executed on a criminal, in addition to the armed police and public security departments present to maintain order, there is also an ambulance quietly on standby.

Its existence seems to be incompatible with the atmosphere of death, but it shoulders a vital mission - to ensure life safety.

So, why did this ambulance appear here?

In fact, its functions are far beyond our imagination!

First of all, ambulances can respond to possible emergencies at any time.

Although the execution procedure is rigorous, unexpected situations may still occur.

For example, the person subject to execution may suddenly become ill or injured, or even commit self-harm, and require emergency medical treatment.

At this time, the ambulance can respond quickly and provide timely assistance.

Secondly, ambulances can also ensure humane care during the execution of the death penalty.

In some cases, the person subject to execution may suffer from physical discomfort due to emotions such as tension and fear.

The presence of an ambulance can give them some peace of mind, knowing that they have the right to receive medical assistance when necessary.

In addition, ambulances also reflect society's respect for human rights.

Even criminals deserve basic dignity and care when facing death.

The presence of the ambulance shows that no matter how serious the crime, life is always precious and should be protected to a certain extent.

Finally, ambulances are also part of the legal process.

Before the execution, a doctor needs to examine the person to be executed to ensure that his or her physical health meets the conditions for execution.

If the person to be executed suffers from an illness or mental disorder, an ambulance can take him to the hospital for treatment, and the death penalty can be executed after his condition stabilizes.

In short, the presence of an ambulance at the execution site has multiple meanings.

If it is an execution by firing squad, then after the execution, the medical staff accompanying the vehicle should verify as soon as possible whether the person being executed is actually dead.

During the entire implementation process, every step must be carried out strictly in accordance with the regulations, and no mistakes must occur.

This cannot be confirmed by sniffing the breath or feeling the pulse as we usually do, because some drugs can actually cause the heart to temporarily stop beating (similar to the scenes in TV dramas).

Medical staff must use professional testing equipment to confirm whether the person being executed is dead.

If the person being executed fakes his death and escapes, changes his name and continues to live under another identity, and is discovered, all those involved in the death identification will be held accountable!

At the same time, with the "escort" of medical staff, any emergency can be responded to quickly.

Of course, in addition to identifying death, ambulances are also responsible for transporting corpses and dealing with sudden accidental injuries at the scene.

In addition, ambulances also have the function of removing and transporting organs.

Many death row inmates are reformed through prison education. Although their hope of survival is basically lost, they can still try their best to do good things before leaving this world.

Just like "donating corneas or organs such as heart, liver, spleen and lungs", this not only allows you to stay in the world in another way, but also saves other people's lives to a certain extent. It is really a good thing!

However, when a person dies, the organs in the body lose their blood supply and will quickly malfunction.

Therefore, this kind of race against time situation must be handled by medical professionals in the ambulance.

Therefore, the ambulance also has another important task, which is to quickly remove the donated organs and immediately send them to the operating room for transplantation.

Not all death row inmates are willing to donate their organs, and there is no legal requirement to do so.

Of course, if the death penalty is not executed by shooting but by injection, the ambulance at the execution site will take on the "function of killing".

There are two methods of execution: injection and shooting. Nowadays, in order to better protect the "experience" of prisoners during the execution, more and more people are using injection, which is commonly known as "euthanasia".
