The death penalty is one of the oldest and harshest penalties in the world, which has never been broken since the establishment of the social order of mankind, and refers to the executioner's right based on the law. To end the life of a prisoner and to punish them for their crimes through the death penalty. In many movies and TV shows, we can see that there is always an ambulance parked nearby during an execution. So, when a prisoner is being executed, does the ambulance wait around? Is it to save the prisoner?
We all know that organ preservation requires a certain temperature and a sterile environment. A hospital is a place for medical treatment. While it can provide a nearby sterile place, it is not suitable for executions after all. There are a lot of people and family members of the patient around. Therefore, executions will usually be carried out in remote and sparsely populated places. Ambulances are now a good option. They can provide a sterile environment, have some refrigeration technology to promote organ preservation, and they can move around the city unimpeded.
The reason these ambulances wait nearby is that when a prisoner is executed, his body must remain in the hospital. If kept in prison, it would rot and stink after a few days, which would not only affect other prisoners around him, but would also be inconvenient for his family to retrieve the prisoner's body. While these prisoners have said goodbye to the world once and for all after their execution, this does not mean that what is behind them will be put aside.
In fact, it's not hard to guess the purpose of an ambulance at an execution site. After an execution, the body of the condemned prisoner is taken to a hospital morgue. Therefore, the purpose of the ambulance at the execution ground was to transport the body. The ambulances parked nearby have another function:to monitor the fairness of executions. This is especially the case with lethal injection, where some prisoners are unable to die immediately and are in agony.
