    Couple of bucks worth of lead is cheaper still.

    I have never understood why firing squad is not more widely used as a method of execution. Neither cruel nor unusual IMHO. If I'm not mistaken I think that at least 2 states still have hanging on the books.

    Don't execute them. Just take the criminal thirty miles out to sea and put them overboard. Their fate after that is not our concern.

    Although I'm also a strong supporter of execution by Involuntary Organ Donation.

    That actually does make sense. Like a firing squad doesn't know who had the bullet, guy just went overboard... dunno what killed 'em.

    Still, diesel is pricey. That is a long trip thirty miles out.

    Some ultra swimmers have been known to swim that far or further, and too many things could happen, like a rescue by another boat, or something crazy.

    They should use heroin instead. They've got plenty of it in evidence, it's been tested to make sure it's really heroin and it usually gets destroyed after the trial is over. So why not use that supply? Mix up twenty times the recreational dose, and off he goes. I've seen people that were overdosing. Doesn't look like a bad way to go.

    1. most convicts won't be in great shape for long swims.
    2. How do we know a convict can even swim?

    :D

    The addition of a few feet of chain and some cinder blocks would ensure the desired outcome at a fairly low cost.

    That's the most common sense thing to do.

    And for that reason, it's out of the question.

    We need a $2 million government study.
