We are all use to the clint eastwood hang em high or shawshank jumping off the stool method of hanging. But couldnt a prisoner just use his on clothes. Loop around bed / somewhere and then just lean over and it knocks you out then bye bye??? I was surprised at number of folks hanging by sitting down beneath a door knob.


Yes, you can do that. But, it is more of a strangulation death than a snapping of the neck like you would see with a traditional hanging.,
