The Kelonian Central Committee (KCCE) today finalised the bill put forward by the Kelonian Central Court (KCCT) to standardize execution-grade crimes and execution methods across the whole country. Previously, states (and the army) had been allowed to implement their own methods of execution and the crimes they were used for, but this has now been changed. The list of offences now with a maximum or mandatory death sentence is as follows;

Mandatory:
- Premeditated Murder without Extenuating Circumstance.
- Murder with Rape or Serious Sexual Assault.
- Serial or Group/Mass Murder.
- Murder of a Police Officer.

Maximum:
- Premeditated Murder with Extenuating Circumstance.
- Torture or Prolonged Intentional Bodily Harm.
- Serial Rape or Serious Sexual Assault.
- All other forms of murder.

The method of execution is also standardised - inmates will now be executed by executioners using captive-bolt bolt-guns, similar to those used in abbatoirs for killing sheep and pigs - the gun is placed on the skull above the forehead and fired, the bolt piercing the midbrain and cortex, killing the inmate almost instantly. Many other methods were turned down for reasons of inhumanity or unreliability, including firing squad and gas chamber (and the army seemed very keen to try out their new PR-12 Matachelzech shrapnel weapon (Matachelzech translates as 'Fire of Metal Pieces', but the system is more commonly referred to as a 'Bolt Thrower' due to it's convenient ability to use junkyard waste rather than just specialised ammunition) on the poor bastards) and this was the first method to be approved by both groups needed to authorise such a bill (the KCCE an KCCT).

The first man to be executed using the new method looks likely to be 38-year-old Gedymin Kiprasky, a poor man from the province of Daylan Masyana who murdered his wife and 3 children with a garden implement after losing his job at a local factory. And the army will have to carry on using proper targets.

Meh, thats easy.

In Parthia expect dissidents and murderers to undergo an extremley horrible tortourus death. We executed two women by chaining them to a pickup truck and dragging them through a gravel street. Other punishments include hanging, garroting with barbed wire, impaling, burning at the stake, starvation, torture, breaking on the wheel and pretty much anything else.

OOC: You novice. ;)

I could always let the army have a go at 'em with shrapnel-burst weapons if you want ;) - the bolt-gun was chosen because death is quick, but not quick enough to be painless, and also it gives victims' families some revenge - a lethal injection where the killer of their loved ones just drifts off then dies is no satisfaction - a bolt through the brain is far more effective for that :p

OOC: Compared to you I am a novice, you got a year more experience rping than I do, and a helluva lot more creativity and writing skill.

My deaths are done them in a public square in the center of the city with thousands watching. It keeps everyone loyal and is a really good revenge for the family. Though they are insane throwbacks to the middle ages.

Entertaining as they may be, public executions in Kelonia would be a harsh reminder of the regime we fought so hard to overthrow, who used to execute 'traitors' at large public gatherings. The current government is a firm supporter of the death penalty for the most serious crimes, despite it's very liberal attitude to the form and enforcement of minor laws, but any sign of return to the 'old days' would cause a lot of unrest.

But, off the record, if we're ever in need of money, tickets to see executions would be an excellent way to raise a bit of cash...

Annor doesn't execute its prisoners. We just allow the private prisons to do what they want with them; the government purposely looks the other way. Sometimes living is worse than death.
