Arizona is taking steps to use hydrogen cyanide, the deadly gas used during the genocide perpetrated by the Nazis at Auschwitz and other extermination camps, to kill inmates on death row.
Corrections officials have refurbished a gas chamber that hasn’t been used in more than 20 years and have procured ingredients for the lethal gas, also known as Zyklon B, according to partially redacted documents obtained by the Guardian. Invoices show that the state purchased a brick of potassium cyanide, sodium hydroxide pellets and sulfuric acid, and a report details the considerable efforts taken to deem the gas chamber at a prison in Florence, Ariz., “operationally ready.”
Critics of the gas method say that in addition to hydrogen cyanide’s infamous use in the mass killings of Jewish people by the Nazis, it has produced some of the most botched, disturbing executions in the United States.
“You have to wonder what Arizona was thinking in believing that in 2021 it is acceptable to execute people in a gas chamber with cyanide gas,” Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, told the British outlet. “Did they have anybody study the history of the Holocaust?”
In a statement, the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry said it was “prepared to perform its legal obligation and commence the execution process as part of the legally imposed sentence, regardless of method selected.” The department pointed to the Arizona statute allowing a defendant sentenced to death for a crime committed before Nov. 23, 1992, to choose between lethal injection or lethal gas at least 20 days before the execution date.
There is little medical research about lethal gas’s effects on the human body, but executions using gas have taken much longer than other methods, according to Fordham University law professor Deborah Denno.

So, just hang him using Hemp Rope.
It’s quick, easy and does not hurt the Environment, especially if you use the Corpse as Compost.
It’s beyond me why we’re not using firing squads. Seems the most efficient form of death penalty.

Why don’t they just use carbon monoxide? Cyanide gas creates a bio hazard.
Just put them in an old Buick with a garden hose connected to the tailpipe.
I didn’t read the entire article. If they don’t like gas are they advocating hanging or firing squad?
The correct answer is, “Does it or does it not kill the criminal?” If it kills then it is OK to use in the gas chamber.
“... Corpse as Compost...” New food protein source. Only available in green. :-}
Why not pure nitrogen, they just go to sleep and never wake up. Odorless, colorless, they wouldn’t even know,just fall asleep and die.

I remember this movie from when I was a kid and watching the tablet drop into the canister. Intense for a kid back then, me any way
This is not hard.
Whatever is used, it still does not compare to the murders they committed.
They should go with nitrogen smothering. It’s quick and the scumbag won’t even know he’s dying.
That was used by Nazis in Treblinka.
“Get your Organic Produce”
Grown from executed composted criminals.Yummy
Agree CO makes the most sense.
It’s even humane.
Why not use it.
VERY misleading headline and body of the story. They are substituting a trade-name that’s dripping with controversy for standard chemical compounds.
For crying out loud, why go through all of this drama and expense???
One thing I can say about the Chinese commies, they do executions right. Just take them out to a wall and shoot them in the back of the head. It’s over, no drama, no massive expense, none of the total bullshit we have in this country.
I’ve read where the Ruskie commies did similar, only their participants were in a close cage so they could not move before they were shot in the back of the head.
My favorite I read decades ago in Readers Digest. This guy was in a ChiCom court, the judge read the guilty verdict, and as the sentence was read the prisoner was shot in the back of the head right in court. He never knew what hit him. That’s probably one of the most humane ways to whack someone, for there is no terror involved.
Agree!
Likely even better then CO.
