Louisiana's execution protocol unsealed. New detailed plans to use nitrogen gas released.

Attorneys for the state and for death row inmate Jessie Hoffman Jr. agreed Thursday to unseal a redacted version of Louisiana's new protocol for using nitrogen gas in executions, shedding public light on how the state plans to put him to death on March 18.
The protocol says that Louisiana prison officials will strap the death row inmate to a gurney ahead of his execution and bring them to the execution chamber. Prison staff will perform a final inspection of the state's nitrogen hypoxia system. Then they'll place a mask and a pulse oximeter onto the inmate, and allow a spiritual adviser to meet with him and have him make a final statement.
“The mask is a continuous-flow, full face, supplied air respirator with head straps," the protocol states.
Prison officials will turn on the nitrogen hypoxia system and either allow the gas to flow for 15 minutes or for 5 minutes after the inmate's heart rate reaches a flatline on an EKG, whichever is longer. Both the execution chamber and the witness room will have oxygen monitors set up in them.
The protocol closely mirrors that of Alabama, the only state to have carried out nitrogen gas executions in the modern era. Several key clauses in Louisiana's protocol match Alabama's game plan word for word.

Im pretty sure 15 minutes is always longer than 5 minutes
Another example of shite journalism

Should freeze them with liquid nitrogen and then shatter them like T-1000

The drugs cost a ridiculous amount of money and the screw ups can lead to torturous results

We should be using hammers on these murderers
You can get a good one for $15 at Walmart
Give the murder victims family first opportunity. If no one wants to do it, Auction the right to do it on eBay. State would make a shitload of money.

I thought it was because the manufacturers refused to supply them to the jails

There was something I read about a shortage a while back, so that probably plays a large part. The numbers are just wild for how much it can cost to kill one person with lethal injection. I've read it goes up to tens of thousands of dollars in some cases.

This might be an example of poor reading comprehension.

That's exactly the reason.

I think they passed a law during Landry's 1st special session that allows the names of the manufacturers and suppliers to be removed from public records.

Should just use confiscated fentanyl. They'd get one last high.
Win, win.

Nitrogen is the easiest for the prisoner. Just go to sleep. The dude in Alabama held his breath and the media tried to claim his convulsions were from the nitrogen.

Nitrogen is cheap and it will definitely do the job. Supplying via mask requires a relatively small amount and minimizes the risk of exposure to attendees and viewing public. Room oxygen sensors will be needed for the protection of those people.
Biologically, I don't know what the level of pain or discomfort will be. Maybe the person will just pass out and then die.

Reading (comprehension) is fundamental.
