Execution Dock was near the shoreline at Wapping and was used for over 400 years to execute pirates, smugglers and mutineers. Captain William Kidd is probably the most famous pirate to meet his death there in 1701. His corpse was put into a gibbet, a metal framed cage, and was left hanging at Tilbury Docks for 3 years. With the last execution in 1830, the exact location of Execution Dock is not known today but it’s claimed to be in the area where two pubs stand, the Prospect of Whitby and the Town of Ramsgate with the latter being the most likely. Round the back of the Prospect of Whitby there is a gallows with a noose hanging from it commemorating the location of Execution Dock.

Old Thameside pub and Execution Dock where pirates were hung in chains until three tides had washed over them.
In light of the delay: David Motley, the city's PR-rep, made some last-second rescues before the excavator arrived. Many artifacts donated to the Historical Society include signage, hangars, garmet bags, copper panels from the turret, and Stacey Adams shoes that were still on the shelves.
[Sign:] The infamous "Hanging Judge Jeffries" was a local and a regular patron here.
It is said that he would enjoy his lunch on this balcony whilst watching the hangings at the place known as Execution Dock.
It was at Execution Dock that the famous pirate Captain Kidd met his end in 1701.
The noose below this point reminds us of this gruesome man who later died in the Tower of London.

On March 16 2018, Brookings Economic Studies’ Center on Regulation and Markets hosted a discussion on how to create a smarter, more efficient approach to infrastructure. At the start of the event, U.S. Department of Transportation Under Secretary Derek Kan discussed the president’s new infrastructure initiative. Following Kan’s remarks, a panel of experts explored how to implement infrastructure projects that save American taxpayer dollars while delivering the infrastructure investment that Americans deserve. Lastly, Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) spoke about his district's infrastructure policy efforts and gave closing remarks.

The execution room at Seodaemun Prison. The preferred method of execution by the Japanese during the occupation: hanging.
Seodaemun Prison was built during the Japanese occupation (1910-1945) to keep Korean "dissidents" -- Koreans who rather valued national independence -- in line. The conditions were pretty barbarous, to say the least, and included torture along with other inhumane treatment.

People attend the executions in Lucasville from all over the state. This day, groups have come from Cincinnati, Yellow Springs and Cleveland, with some local residents attending. According to one of the demonstrators, in the past busloads of students have come from Dayton and Cleveland to participate in the vigils.
Father Neil Kookoothe (center rear), of Saint Clarence parish in North Olmstead, Ohio, speaks to the group of Death Penalty abolitionists gathered for the vigil outside the prison.

Executions
When originally designed by Lanyon, the prison did not contain a gallows and the executions were carried out in public view until 1901, when an execution chamber was constructed within the prison walls and used until the last of the hangings in 1961. Seventeen prisoners were executed in the prison, the last being Robert McGladdery who was hanged in 1961 for the murder of Pearl Gamble. The condemned would live in a cell, large enough for two guards to live in as well. The bodies of the executed were buried inside the prison in unconsecrated ground, against the back wall beside the prison hospital. The execution of Tom Williams, a nineteen-year-old member of the IRA, took place on 2 September 1942; he was hanged for the slaying of an RUC officer. The hangman in charge was Thomas Pierrepoint, the gaol's most regular hangman, who carried out six executions in the gaol between 1928 and 1942. Williams was one of two executed prisoners whose remains were disinterred and buried elsewhere.
The Crumlin Road Gaol dates back to 1845 and closed its doors as a working prison in 1996.
HMP Belfast, also known as Crumlin Road Gaol, is a former prison situated on the Crumlin Road in north Belfast, Northern Ireland. Since 1996 it is the only remaining Victorian era prison in Northern Ireland. It is colloquially known as the Crum.
