In the State of Louisiana, the method of lethal injection is used to execute criminals sentenced to death. Execution by lethal injection is usually the easiest and least painful method of execution; thus i

t is the most commonly used. It involves the intravenous injection of a lethal quantity of a short acting barbiturate in combination with a paralytic agent. Though this is a very effective method of execution, doctors have proven that it may not work on diabetics and former drug users. This is because the veins may be hard to reach, so a slight cut into a deeper vein is required. The mix of the barbiturate and the paralytic agent flows through the blood stream killing cells. Death occurs within seconds of injection.
