U.S. Bureau of Prisons (BOP) staff will be busy in December and January Barr ordered the government to adopt a new method for executing prisoners, replacing its lethal cocktail with injections of a single drug, pentobarbital. (just one "hot shot")

Dunno why they don't just used what is used to kill dogs and cats.
The country is awash in fentanyl. Why not just use that?
The Feds themselves hold 3,500 pounds of the stuff
Fast and effective and cheap - what more could the government ask for???
Since the lethal dose is 2MG and maybe even as low as 1MG in some frail people, a safe assumption is 5MG will do the trick every time and that is just a speck the size of medium coffee ground.
Hi Oren,
It is sad that we have to do this, but we have to. To quote the regressives: no justice, no peace.
Now to wait for all the regressive to scream about killing these terrible monsters would did a lot of evil to others and justifying murdering children (abortion) that did nothing to anyone.

You beat me to it... I've never understood what the fancy drug cocktails were all about. just give the perp a hotshot and he'll be just as dead as his buddies on the street.
Governments are not interested in those criteria. Expensive, complicate, and failure prone is the ticket.
Whats used to kill dogs and cats etc is much more reliable and effective.
Lot better to use what is used to kill cats and dogs because the staff wont be trying to steal that to sell on the street.
Not really Ketamine is used recreationally and the amount needed to reliably kill someone is easily 200-300 times as much as you need for fentanyl. They shot 10 CCs in my 100 pound dog. If they chose it for your surgery you would get 3 or 4 MG per KG of body weight and they hope you will wake up.
Bullshit "Special K" Is a very hot seller on the street and veterinarian offices get broken into all the time by druggies looking for it.
Yes really.
They don't use ketamine.
The amount used is irrelevant, what matters is side effects, reliability and whether it will be stolen by the staff and burglars so you need to take extreme measures to stop that happening.
Its not as if the prison goons are the most reliable employees around.
Hardly the end of civilisation as we know it given how cheap it is.
Ketamine isnt used to kill dogs and cats.
Tell that to my Vet.
Irrelevant to the point that they should be using the non ketamine that is used to kill cats and dogs on humans.
