Hey ‘murica
It’s been yet another tough week to not be a Walton or Koch family member.
But hey, there’s still good news out there if you look hard enough (or spend a couple minutes on Google), but it is out there.
Prison officials unveiled the renovated execution chamber inside the Oklahoma State Penitentiary on Thursday and expressed confidence that the agency would be ready for the state’s next scheduled execution in November.
The $71,000 reconstruction of the death chamber and adjacent witness rooms gives executioners more space in which to operate. Department of Corrections also spent about $34,000 on new medical equipment, including $12,500 for a surgical table and $6,000 for an ultrasound machine to help locate veins.
Finally, Oklahoma’s pressing “claustrophobic executioners” dilemma has been eased.
So one problem solved.
