What is sing sing electric chair?

The Sing Sing electric chair is a form of execution apparatus used in the United States. It is made of wood and metal and was first introduced in 1890 as an alternative to hanging. It is used to execute prisoners by electrocution and is named after the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York, where it was first used. The chair consists of a wooden frame with metal straps that secure the prisoner's arms, chest, and legs. The prisoner is then attached to two electrodes that are attached to their head and leg. A current of electricity is then passed through the prisoner's body, causing death by electrocution. The Sing Sing electric chair was used to execute many high-profile prisoners, including the infamous Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of espionage during the Cold War. The use of this form of execution has been heavily criticized over the years due to the potential for botched executions and the inhumane nature of electrocution.
