South Carolina now prepared to offer execution by firing squad for inmates sentenced to death – By Carlos Garcia (The Blaze) / March 18, 2022
The Department of Corrections in South Carolina said Friday they were prepared to offer execution by firing squad for inmates that were sentenced to death.
The head of the department notified the Attorney General’s office that the procedures and facilities were ready for the firing squad execution alternative.
The state passed a law in May making executions by firing squad available to inmates who were sentenced to death. Although the electric chair is the primary method of execution in South Carolina, inmates can choose firing squad or lethal injection, if available.
There are 35 inmates on death row in the state.
