(Rock Hill, S.C.) — The South Carolina Department of Corrections announced on March 18 that it's now able to carry out an execution by firing squad, which has started a national conversation about the appropriateness of the method. No one has been executed in South Carolina since 2011, as the state has had trouble gaining access to the drugs needed for lethal injections, and firing squads are meant to be an alternative until the state can get access to the drugs again. Dr. Patricia Hovis, chair of the criminal justice department at York Technical College; Dr. Scott Huffman, director of the Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research and professor of political science at Winthrop; and Dr. David Meeler, associate professor of philosophy at Winthrop joined the Palmetto Report to discuss the topic.
