The Execution Tapes
In the last 25 years, more than 700 convicts have been put to death on behalf of the American people. Yet few citizens fully know how executions take place. That is, until now. It turns out there are recordings of executions, and later we will play portions of them -- including the first national broadcast of an entire execution. Tune in for "A Public Radio Special Report: The Execution Tapes" today from 2 to 3pm on this extended Politics of Culture. Rebroadcast tonight at 6:30pm.
