When I was a child, my Grandmother told me that executees were given lots of liquids before their executions because the fluid helped the Chair do its work with greater efficency. Now that I am older, it is clear that my grandma was mistaken. My Grandma also said that the Chair made your eyes pop out and that reform school electrocuted kids who got in trouble. Do any of you hear any death penalty old-wives' tales that you wish to share?

Myths or fact.
Man on DR went to the electric chair was his day to die, the electric failed (power would not work), no reason found, they tried again same happened. Within days after attempts he was found to be innocent, and released.
