"There’s one thing, *only* one, that lethal injection does well: it hides the violence of state killing." @corinnabarrettlain.bsky.social discusses her recent book 'Secrets of the Killing State' @nyupress.bsky.social and why state's are so determined to keep lethal injections
The Myth of Forever Sleep - Corinna Barrett Lain interviewed by Carol Steiker - Inquest
A new book examines why states continue to sell the American people on the utility of lethal injection—despite its well-documented, monstrous failings.
