Below is the complete collection of subpoenaed Georgia execution tapes, totaling more than eight hours of audio. These RealAudio files are transfers of the raw, unedited tapes. Some of the tapes begin after the execution has started or end before the procedure has been completed. Any gaps in the files exist on the original tapes themselves.

The Georgia Department of Corrections recorded the executions from three locations:

• Command Post. The most complete recording of each execution is the taped telephone conversation between department of corrections officials in Atlanta and the prison personnel in a room adjacent to the death chamber. These recordings, which often document the arrival of the witnesses and the removal of the body, are the most descriptive of the execution procedure.
  
  
• Death chamber. Recordings from the death chamber capture the warden swearing in witnesses, reading the death warrant, affording the condemned a chance to add to his last words, and pronouncing death. The electrocution itself is not recorded.
  
  
• Inmate's cell. Recordings from the inmate's cell are made two hours prior to the scheduled execution. Here, the inmate is given the opportunity to make a final statement with no time limitation.
