A study from Reprieve has revealed a significant racial disparity in botched lethal injection executions. Black prisoners face a 220% higher chance of experiencing a botched execution compared to white prisoners. The analysis examined 1,407 executions between 1977 and 2023, identifying 73 instances of botched procedures. States with the highest racial disparities include Arkansas, Georgia, and Oklahoma. The report highlights the lack of oversight and illegal practices that contribute to botched executions, leading to prolonged and painful deaths. Experts emphasize the need for transparency, regulation, and a moratorium on lethal injection procedures.
