NPR Investigative reporter ChiaraEisner spoke with 26 people who were collectively involved in 200+ executions. She'll be hosting a Reddit AMA today at 1pm ET in r/IAMA about her reporting and what she learned from these interviews.
I interviewed workers involved with more than 200 executions across the US. Most said their jobs harmed them and changed their minds about the death penalty. AMA.Hello, I’m NPR investigative reporter Chiara Eisner. I’ve been covering execution workers for more than a year, to find out what it’s like to do these kinds of jobs. I tracked down 26 people who worked on executions across 17 states and the federal death chamber.
A few said they volunteered for the jobs they did and that it didn't bother them much. But many more said the work was often a required part of their jobs, and it took a toll. Most of the people I interviewed told me they suffered serious mental and physical repercussions – and just one person said they received any kind of psychological support from the government to help them cope.
The workers told me the experience was enough to change many of their views on capital punishment. Out of all the people whose work required them to witness executions in Virginia, Nevada, Florida, California, Ohio, South Carolina, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, Alabama, Oregon, South Dakota and Indiana, none told me they still support the death penalty today – even those who started off their jobs in favor of capital punishment.
