Mississippi House passes bill for executions by gas chamber, firing squad

4. I do recall reading something a few months ago about Mississippi being the launching place

of his presidential campaign, but I didn't remember the specific city. I was a little surprised when I read that.

I've never sat in an electric chair, but I've read various stories throughout the years about Old Sparky in Texas and a few other states. The movies and TV shows that have plots where the electricity goes out in the various prison towns and it being an act of God are legendary. I don't believe that Mississipi ever adopted the electric chair for executions though since they might be too broke that they couldn't pay the electric bill. That's life (and death) in a poverty stricken state.
