In the spring of 1988, undergraduate and graduate CSU Business Students, concerned with escalating crime and the absurdly high cost of Capital Punishment, decided to take matters into their own hands and come up with their own creative solutions. Their response was SAD, Students Advocating Death. Their procedure: low-cost executions for a wide array of crimes, using the actual working Gas Chamber constructed by Demetrius Toteras in the 1960s and which came into SAD’s possession by an anonymous donor, who further agreed to cover all of SAD’s operating expenses including cyanide. Soon, after procuring the 1078 Gallery on Humboldt Street in Chico, they converted the former art gallery into a practical Correction Space, using SAD’s Correction Methodology to perform a number of extremely inexpensive executions.
