The cost of executions is generally paid by local financial allocations. The families of death row inmates will not be asked to bear the responsibility. Who is willing to bear such expenses? If it were possible not to execute the death penalty, there would be countless family members willing to pay!
Comparatively speaking, the cost of drug injection is higher than the cost of shooting a death row inmate.
The logistics cost of injection and painless drugs for death row prisoners is high. For executions of lethal injections, the Intermediate People's Court must first submit the application to the provincial high-level approval, and then the Provincial High Court approves it to the Supreme People's Court. In accordance with the strict regulations on lethal injections, the Supreme People's Court will issue the lethal injection drugs to the execution unit of the People's Court and execute them in accordance with the law.
This process is complicated and quite strict, and it also shows the greatest respect for life. The delivery of lethal injection drugs is carried out by specially equipped vehicles, dedicated personnel, and dedicated lines, and the entire process is carried out in secret and strictly. The logistics costs of transporting a 300-yuan lethal injection drug are at least 10,000 yuan.
The labor costs of other supporting facilities and professionals for lethal injection are high. On February 20, 2004, Zunyi City introduced the first domestic lethal injection execution vehicle, which was rumored to be worth more than 2 million yuan. The cost of an execution chamber for lethal injection is at least 2 million yuan. The execution chamber is also equipped with armchairs and other special equipment. In addition, multiple professional special medical personnel must be trained for drug injection execution. Generally speaking, each medical staff will only inject drugs once in a lifetime. Just like the armed police officers who execute executioners on death row, they will only execute executioners once.
The cost of lethal injection is included in the special funds of the execution court and does not need to be paid by relatives of criminals
1. The current price of three injections of lethal injection is about 300 yuan. It is escorted to the designated location by dedicated personnel and vehicles. The cost of medicines, distribution costs, injection equipment, etc. add up to a huge expense. These costs are included in the special funds of the enforcement court and do not need to be paid by the relatives of the criminals.
2. From an economic analysis, in fact, lethal injection is simple on the surface, but the cost is not low, at least much higher than the cost of execution. However, compared with shooting, lethal injection is painless and is the development direction of execution of death penalty in the future. After the lethal injection, a specialized forensic doctor will conduct an examination and identification. After confirming the death, the body will be sent to the crematorium, and then the criminal's relatives will collect the ashes.
Human life is precious! To cherish life, please start by obeying the laws and regulations! Don't break the law, don't commit crimes! This is the most basic principle of life.
