Utah, one of the 31 states that currently allow the death penalty, has recently made execution by firing squad legal again since abolishing the practice in 2004. It will be the only state other than Oklahoma to permit such a protocol. While death by firing squad will not be the primary method of capital punishment, it will serve as a fallback for lethal injection. The need for alternatives is increasingly becoming an issue for several reasons. For one, drugs used in lethal injections are in short supply due to the fact that many manufacturers have declared a moral objection to their use in executions and are refusing to sell them to prisons. Moreover, there have been recent cases where the drugs have proven ineffective and others where the prisoners were thought to have experienced pain.

① Firing squads will supplant lethal injections as the main form of capital punishment.

② Utah will be the first state to make the firing squad legal since it was abolished in 2004.

③ US prisons are seeking substitutes because there is a lack of lethal injection drugs.

④ Recent cases have shown that lethal injection is unquestionably humane and efficient.
