Ed Anger's "Fry Death Row Creeps in Electric Bleachers"
In Ed Anger’s essay,”Fry Death Row Creeps in Electric Bleachers,” he talks about an idea he came up with that would execute killers and rapists quicker and easier. Anger says to have electric bleachers to fry hundreds of killers and rapists at one time. I believe Anger has come up with a winning idea that will clean jails out. The specific points that I agree with are the idea of the electric bleachers, the quantity of prisoners, and the cost of housing these prisoners.
The idea of the electric bleachers would be rather effective in my opinion. Anger says,” just file’em into these cheap seats at gun point (422). We could set up the bleachers with high voltage wires and maybe spray the killers and rapists down with water before seating them down. That could also be an idea added to Anger’s. All these inmates would be seated single file, filling up every row of these bleachers to the very top. Setting up these bleachers in an open area could also be added to Anger’s idea.. This would cut down the years and years that these killers and rapists wait on death row for their special day. We could set up one special day to fry all these killers and rapists.
In addition to the electric bleachers, the quantity of prisoners would be decreased tremendously. Right now in America there are hundreds of prisoners awaiting the death penalty for various crimes that they have committed. With Ed Anger’s idea of the electric bleachers, we could execute many prisoners at once. Ed says,” We could hotwire portable bleachers like you see at little league baseball games and zap up to 500 sex fiends, murderers, and crooked congressmen at the same time”(422). I do believe that this would really work correctly and the hundreds on death row could be wiped out in one day. As everyone knows, people who work for a living every single day of their lives, all pay taxes. Tax payers pay taxes all many different kinds of things such as insurance, and social security. Taxes payers are also paying taxes which are used to house all these hundreds of killers and rapists in jails. Anger says,” and their room and board is costing hardworking American taxpayers nearly 34.7 million dollars a year”(422). I don’t really believe that taxpayers...
