Why don't they use Nitrogen in death penalty cases?
There might be a failed detonation, but there would be no scenario in which the inmate suffered a long, painful death.

Death by ooga booga would be a popular pick

Might as well give them a suicide squad type job working to identify and remove IEDs for the military.

Firing squad or hanging should be the execution methods in the United States. The condemned gets to pick if the state offers both, and the condemned ought to have the right to a blindfold (firing squad) or hood (hanging).
Long drop hanging (if done correctly) is painless and instantaneous. Firing squad is somewhat more dicey, but offers the condemned some small amount of honor.
This "get a shot in a hospital room, go to sleep and never wake up" - lowers us to the level of pet dogs and cats. The fact it takes us 7 to 20 years in most cases from conviction to this point makes one wonder if doctors and lawyers haven't formed secret unions to keep them all gainfully employed.

Electrocution is a hideous method.
I watched a documentary about the death penalty. They interviewed the guy in charge for of executions in MS. He had supervised executions using lethal injection, electric chair, and the gas chamber.
He said he would chose electrocution without a doubt. He also said execution by gas chamber was brutal and was not a quick process.

They should select the firing squad members the same way they select jury members

Though I think some prisons do that already.

100% agree with hangings. 100% against firing squads. When you kill someone by shooting them it weighs heavy on your soul. If your a decent human being.

As opposed to killing them by snapping their neck with a rope?

Yes.

Hanging, drawing and quartering
quote:
Convicts were fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces). Their remains were often displayed in prominent places across the country, such as London Bridge.

Often wondered that myself. No physical panic is induced because elevated CO2 levels in the blood, not low O2 levels, are what trigger the brain into panic mode, gasping for breath, etc. With N2, your CO2 levels never elevate while your O2 levels plummet. You just breathe normally until you pass out, then slip into a coma and die never knowing what hit you.
Nitrogen is one of the leading causes of death and casualty (if not the leading) in chemical plants every year and you often see two or three at a time because when one guy goes down, the would-be untrained rescuer trying to save his buddy dies too because nitrogen asphyxiation comes on so quickly. Two or three good breaths of a nitrogen rich environment, and it's all over unless someone can get to you and get you to fresh air before massive brain damage begins occurring.
Of course, the convulsions before death would probably be a big reason it isn't used. A gas chamber is a gas chamber.
