RAWLINS -- A film crew from the Discovery Channel spent time in the gas chamber inside the historic state penitentiary, gathering footage for a special documentary series.
Producer Shyam Balse said Tuesday the series is divided into three hour-long episodes and examines the technologies used for capital punishment. It begins with devices created by ancient Greeks and Romans and finishes with 20th century contraptions, like the electric chair and the gas chamber. The series focuses on the mechanical aspects of each death instrument.
Balse said the series, which includes several other on-site shoots and other studio scenes, should air on the Discovery Channel in October.
