The answer is yes. Lethal injection can be expensive. The costs for states to obtain the necessary drugs have risen substantially in recent years. Most states now pay between $ 1,000 and $2,000 per dose. In other states, like the Indiana Department of Corrections spent $ 900, 000 on drugs for the lethal injection execution of Joseph Corcoran in December 2024. In Utah, they spent over $ 288,000 on Taberon Honie’s lethal injection. For the Tennessee Department of Corrections, they spent nearly $600,000 on lethal injection drugs between 201 and 2925. And, the Idaho Department of Corrections they spent $200,000 on lethal injection drugs since 2023, which have expired without use due to execution delays.
There are reasons for high costs, as stated by the pharmaceutical. They said that they are refusing to supply drugs for executions, thus led the states to find an alternative and often more expensive means to obtain them.
If drugs are expired, the reason is the delayed executions of the criminals. Some countries, like the Islamic countries, do not use lethal means, but hang the criminal or firing squad. They find lethal injection expensive, so it is better to execute the inmate by firing squad.
