Is there an actual job title of "executor"? 10 points for best answer!?

LOL no! An executor is a person who is appointed by a will to do what the will says after the person who made it has died. I've been one when my Dad died. The word you're looking for is "executioner".

For a lethal injection, it's something of a team effort and it is execution technicians who insert the catheters. Though as they don't have medical training, because nobody in the medical profession will take part in the taking of life, they frequently mess it up. It'll be just part of the job they already have in the prison, that they have to take part in executions when needed. Lethal injection is usually done by a machine which will inject the drugs at preset intervals - all anyone has to do to start it off, once the prisoner is strapped down and the catheters are inserted, is press a button.

It's hardly a full-time job, though. For another way of doing it, what we used to have in the UK was a small number of people who had done the training and could be called upon when needed. We always used hanging by the long drop, and that DOES need some training and skill to get it right (which is why the US isn't keen on hanging). They'd get paid a fee for each execution.

The most famous (and certainly the most prolific, thanks to having officiated at many executions of convicted Nazis after WWII) in the 20th century was Albert Pierrepoint. He simply had a job which enabled him to get time off when needed - he worked in a grocery, and in later years he ran a pub.

Pierrepoint actually resigned over not being paid when a prisoner was reprieved at the last minute. He was already on his way to the prison and not surprisingly, was a bit miffed about not getting his fee having already taken the time off to get there. Though it seems by then he was already having doubts over whether the death penalty is a good thing.

Yeah, state executioner. They're the one who flicks the switch or whatever but they have another person to pin them down and put the IV in. Have to be 18 or older. Not much qualifications or education needed from what I can understand, what I've heard as far as salary goes hasn't been consistent so I don't know.

An "executor" is someone who administers an estate after a death.

The word for a person who administers an execution is "executioner".

Four or five people administer different elements of the lethal injection, not one person.
