In a compelling new interview, veteran investigative reporter John North recounts his unforgettable experience of witnessing the failed execution attempt of death row inmate Christa Pike.

Pike was sentenced to death in Tennessee after the brutal 1995 murder of student Colleen Slemmer. For years, her case has remained one of the state’s most notorious criminal stories.

As an official media witness, John North was granted access to events unfolding inside the prison during the state’s attempt to carry out Pike’s execution – which did not go to plan.

The Tennessee Department of Correction has not explained why the execution did not go as planned, though it has defended the method it used. It declined comment on Pike’s statement when contacted by the BBC.

This programme includes details of the process of an execution you may find upsetting.

They say they’re using them to cope with everything from day-to-day stress and relationship breakdowns to grief and trauma.

But while time spent destroying things might bring immediate relief, can it actually help in the longer term?

We meet the women embracing rage rooms and ask: are rage rooms really therapy?

This video replaces an earlier version to reflect a name change.
