Traditional execution (hanging, firing squad, electrocution, etc.) would certainly be less expensive than lethal injection... 🤔
In 2011, the average cost of a drug used in lethal injections was just $83.55 per dose. By 2013, authorities in Texas paid $1,500; in Missouri they paid $8,000; and in 2017, Virginia agreed to pay $16,500 per dose. The reason? European chemical suppliers, who were the main source of the drugs, had left the business, restricting supply.
