The various ways in which humans have and are executed. When we think of executions we think of gas chamber, firing squad, electric chair and hanging but it is astounding just how many more versions there are for ending a human's life.
Some are primitive and cruel, some are inhumane, but all have the same ending of a person's existence.
Also the last meals of infamous people before they are executed. Also how the world's religions have taken part in the history of execution.
