VVAW-Gas Chambers: Need your help 

 

When we started collecting information about Virginia's gas chambers in November of 2004, we found 21 jurisdictions were using gas.

That list is now down to 8 (as of December, 2005).

Those still using gas are:

  1. Appomattox County
  2. Buchanan County
  3. Cumberland County
  4. Lee County
  5. Martinsville City
  6. Scott County
  7. Southampton County
  8. Wythe County

Those that stopped using gas (congratulations!) during the last year are:

  1. Bath County
  2. Buckingham County
  3. Charlotte County
  4. Chesterfield County
  5. Floyd County
  6. Franklin City
  7. Franklin County
  8. Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society
  9. Isle of Wight County
  10. Pittsylvania County
  11. Prince Edward County
  12. Pulaski County
  13. Sussex County
