Plan to legalize self-execution device for capital punishment
A report outlines a condemned plan from Canon City Colorado Penitentiary where a device would trigger a convict to self-hang. It describes a complex mechanism using weighted buckets, a spring platform, a balance beam, and a clocklike dial to ensure the victim dies by his own action, with notes on a bill to legalize such method.
