GINA’S Execution

All executions in Pacifica are carried out at the State Penitentiary at Sing Sing in our new electric chair. Gina was its first victim. She was resigned to her fate and told me that she was ready to blaze a trial of light for others to follow. She did not disappoint her audience.

Gina's last appeal was turned down on June 29, 2105 and the then the Governor duly signed her death warrant. She was then transferred to the Death House and confined to a 12-by-7 foot secure room where she passed her final hours chatting with prison staff (including myself), family and her legal and religious advisers.

Gina’s execution was set for 7:00 a.m. on June 30, 2105. At 4:30 a.m., she was awakened, stripped and showered with the assistance of female corrections staff. She also had her long brown hair put in a bun, and her neck and private areas shaved and waxed to give good electrical conductivity and so that her hair did not catch fire during her electrocution. She screamed and squirmed in the attendants’ grip as her private areas were vacuumed clean of all hair clippings. She seemed to enjoy it: her eyes were afire, a portent of things to come. Her final meal consisted of broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, carrots, strawberries and hot tea with lemon.

Gina entered the execution chamber, completely nude, at 7:02 a.m. accompanied by several staff as well as myself. She was bent over and a 4-inch copper electrode, coated with KY Jelly to increase conductivity and prevent flesh burning, was inserted into the anus. She then sat in, squirmed for comfort, and was strapped into the large metal chair with 8 leather straps over her waist, wrists, chest and legs. [This Chair is called Chair No. 1. We have others] Electrode pasties were then fitted as follows: 2 to the forehead, 1 to the base of the neck, 1 to the base of the spine, 2 to both biceps, 6 to the abdomen, 2 each to the upper insides of her thighs and 2 to each buttock. Suction cup electrodes, coated with KY, were also fitted to both nipples on her A-cup breasts. Wet sponges, soaked in brine solution, were wrapped around each of her ankles through which copper rods were inserted. The anal electrode was connected. A 6-inch copper electrode, coated with KY, was then inserted into her vagina. [It was her last request that I perform this task. The previous day while confiding her fears to me she stated, “I trust that only you will know just how to do that”. I also promised her a surprise telling her, “I can’t tell you what it is, but I can tell you that you will enjoy it once your time comes.” She then smiled weakly, fighting back tears. I put my arm around her, touched her soft face and told her, “Courage, Gina“. We kissed and caressed one last time. She then said “Please don‘t do it. Please don‘t electrocute me. I don‘t want to die.” I told her, stroking her cheek, “But I have to Gina honey. It‘s the law. I told you the last time you were here this was your last chance and if you came back again this would happen. We are not role playing here so begging for mercy won‘t work. Those days are gone.” I left her in tears.]

The curtain then opened on the last act of Gina’s life. Asked if she had a final statement, she weakly replied "No ma‘am," squeezing her eyes shut and keeping them shut, not looking at the witnesses gathered on the other side of the glass partition. A ball-gag was then secured in her mouth, a chin strap secured and a patent leather hood placed over her face. I wanted to say something comforting to her, but the protocol is very strict as to what I can say once the curtain is opened. “Good-bye Gina”, I said firmly. She gave me a thumbs up with both hands which I think meant, I‘ll be okay. At my signal, Gina’s executioner, to my envy, depressed the red “Execute” button in the control booth a few feet away, and the automatic electrocution cycle commenced at 7:08 a.m. with a low hum. Gina immediately strained against the straps in an attempt to stand up, then proceeded to bounce up and down violently in the chair. Her hands opened wide. While standing a safe 5 feet away from her, I heard the muffled screams and whimpers which now brought back so many memories of our past escapades. The surprise was revealed: the vaginal electrode, in addition to feeding in current, also began to vibrate so as to take Gina’s mind off of what was happening to her. I knew she loved vibrators and wondered to myself how much her stifled screams were caused by pain as opposed to pleasure. Anyway, I knew for certain she would take this secret to her grave. A small amount of white smoke or steam was then seen to curl up from her right ankle electrode throughout the first 38 second cycle but there were no flames. The current was then turned off and Gina went limp in the chair, still breathing and very sweaty.

At 7:11 a.m., Dr. Tina (last name deleted) stepped forward with her stethoscope. She reported a faint heartbeat and shallow breathing. After a second jolt, Gina was pronounced dead at 7:13 a.m. After the mandatory 30 minute “cool down” period, Gina’s body was then unstrapped and removed from the electric chair at 7:43 a.m., placed on a gurney and wheeled to the prison morgue for cremation and disposal.

The official execution protocol for our electric chair is as follows : The automatic cycle begins with a nominal 2,300 volts, 9.5 amps, for 8 seconds; 1,000 volts, 4 amps for 22 seconds; and 2,300 volts, 9.5 amps for 8 seconds (actual values below). When a cycle is complete, the main lead to the chair is manually disconnected and the safety switch is then opened so that vital signs can be checked in complete safety. During Gina's execution, the cycles of electricity, for both jolts, were officially recorded as follows:

Even though she had bitten almost halfway through the ball gag, there was no damage to her lips, teeth or the inside of her mouth. However, her eyes were wide-open and ablaze with the horror of her electrocution. No burns were noted on her body as in the old days: it was steam that I saw rising from Gina’s right ankle electrode. While it was a sin to electrocute her, I also felt highly aroused by the experience. And I hope my surprise made her feel the same way in her final moments. The execution team did such an excellent job electrocuting Gina that you would not have known what we had just done to her unless you were a witness. At the mouth of the oven in the prison crematorium, I stepped forward and closed her eyes. She looked like a sleeping beauty as she was slid into the oven for final disposal. As I watched the flames consume her, I thought to myself, Gina you were hot in life and death. Her ashes went to her family, but I also kept some in an urn as a keepsake. Her picture is on the front. I think she’d like that.
