When was the last time death by hanging administered in the U.S.? I'm curious since so many capital punishment cases seem to be by lethal injection today.  Personally I'd like to see victims or their designee's be given 30 minutes alone with the criminals chained to a wall or chair, free to have anything they want to use with them.  If the criminal isn't dead when they leave, then inject them if the state wishes.  The idea of humane treatment falls on deaf ears with me.
