The answer is yes. Sometimes a high paying client will go all out, pay for the props and costumes to lend historical context. If the buyer requests, the state execution can be moved to a location of choice if the money provided for the guards and security. In this case the prisoners carefully selected beforehand, the prisoners forced to strip and present themselves in the corridors of death row, measured and selected, the money changing hands then.
Here both the men's and women's prisons provided the human resources or rather the detritus of society. There is a method to the madness of this wealthy sadist; see in providing a variety of body types, ages and gender he will draw a huge crowd of all types of voyeurs, all will be willing to participate in the preparations and actual executions to some extent; and he's going all out, authentic whippings, nails not ropes. The one catch; they must dress up in the uniforms of the Roman period, though during the enjoyment of the proceedings some will strip down. Persons of all inclinations and persuasions come to participate; they will taunt and even torture the dying prisoners but it's hard to say if the guys come to watch the girl, or these other two. It's often a secret they keep to themselves, again lessens the inhibitions. The prisoners are in full view of each other, humiliated, naked and exposed to the sun as the crosses are carefully placed. They will watch each other be tortured, suffer and slowly die. Watchers below will laugh and call out bets as to if the guys will last longer than the girl or vice versa. And, the cameras roll, come in for the close ups, record this all.
You see, snuff films are now legal though filmed under the auspices of the state, the case in point here. Our buyer has invested a lot, but fully realizes the profits to come.
