The act of putting a particularly loathsome criminal in a chair and then running enough electricity through the chair to kill it. Other methods include lethal injection, hanging, firing squads, and gas chambers. An act that should be administered much, MUCH more frequently as it is a great way to curb our nation's problem with jail populations. Oh and don't even bother telling me that "it costs more to put someone to death than to keep them alive on Death Row for 20 years." No, it doesn't. Let's do the math. 20 years of food and water + court costs and lawyer fees = Lots of money. 1 trial + 1 last meal + 1 bullet = A lot less money. And what you "economists" don't realize is that we're putting people to death AFTER they've been on Death Row for 20 years! So it doesn't matter which one costs more, because the taxpayers are paying for both.
