Idaho revises execution procedures, using deep central veins for injections and a separate room for medical staff.
Idaho has revised its execution procedures following a failed lethal injection attempt in February on death row inmate Thomas Eugene Creech. The state will now use deep central veins for injections if standard IV lines cannot be established. A new execution chamber includes a separate room for medical staff to insert the central line, with the process visible to media witnesses via closed-circuit cameras. This aims to improve execution efficiency and inmate dignity.
