lethal chambers
Death penalty facilities
Lethal chambers are enclosed spaces designed to kill, most commonly associated with the gas chambers used to execute condemned prisoners or, historically, to euthanize animals.
The term gained particular notoriety through Nazi Germany's use of gas chambers for mass murder during the Holocaust.
In contemporary usage, lethal chamber typically refers to execution facilities in jurisdictions that use lethal gas as a method of capital punishment.
The state still maintains a lethal chamber as an alternative execution method.
