1. She is a monster,

but c'mon man, putting her in the noose room indicates to me she better not go after rich and famous people.

2. Still trying to figure out

Why a jail would have a noose room. Wasn't that how Epstein killed himself?

3. I'm interested in how the fire room works out.

And will a prison staff barbecue lunch follow that?

4. Look at the source

The Onion is a satirical newspaper. Although in recent years, it's been harder to tell what is satire and what is real news.

5. Everyone look close at the URL

Prisons don’t actually HAVE “noose rooms.” When they hanged people, executioners owned their own ropes that they had stretched for a full year before hanging anyone with them to get all the elasticity out of them. The British government sent Albert Pierrepoint to Germany to hang 250 Nazis, and he brought his own ropes with him.

6. I'm not sure if people are being sarcastic or missing that it's the Onion. nt
