EspañolEXECUTION CHAMBER
An 'execution chamber', or 'death chamber', is a room or chamber in which a legal execution is carried out. Execution chambers are almost always inside the walls of a maximum-security prison, although not always at the same prison where the death row population is housed. Inside the chamber is the device used to carry out the death sentence.
In the United States, an execution chamber will usually contain either an electric chair or a lethal injection table. Certain states however, have provision for both methods, such as Tennessee, however in the process of an execution, only one of these devices is actually present in the room. However, certain states do have execution chambers set up to carry out execution by hanging, firing squad, or poisonous gas. In most cases, a witness room is located adjacent to an execution chamber, where witnesses may watch the execution through glass windows. Each state that allows capital punishment is equipped with a death chamber, but some states rarely put them to use.
