As a Christian, former prosecutor, and Army veteran, Dr. Lain decided to engage the United States’ most prevalent execution method. She spent the last seven years examining executions, and she has a story to tell. The story the public is told is that lethal injection executions are safe, fast, a deterrent, easy, and humane. The story Dr. Lain discovered is that each of those five claims is false. Now, 43 years after the first lethal injection execution in this country, there are regularly botched executions and layers of state secrecy around protocols and the drugs used – all done in our name. Her book, spoken of by Bryan Stevenson and Sister Helen Prejean, examines all of this and makes an unrelenting case that executions are not the answer to anything.
