At this point I'm really wondering if that's the real intent. This should be so simple and so hard to fuck up. Grab an oxygen mask from the medical bay, and hook it up to a nitrogen tank at 50l/min. Prisoner will breathe in 100% N2 and whatever they exhale will just go into the room.
The human body does not react to that. There is no feeling of suffocation or panic. People who go into low oxygen environments have passed out and died without realizing they were even threatened.
The feeling of suffocation is caused by CO2 build up. If you don't waste his exhaled air, if you make him rebreathe it, you're going to create that reaction and a very painful execution.
Anyway there's one of two situations happening. One is the intentionally want to create an unpleasant execution, or two they are all idiots who don't know how to use Google, and nobody who isn't an idiot wants to help.
That second one is I think equally possible. I know I could write a completely bulletproof execution protocol that would be 100% painless, but I wouldn't do it even if they offered me a million dollars. I don't believe in the death penalty, and I certainly don't believe in the way it is often applied in the US, with people being put to death even when there is serious doubt of their guilt. I have no desire to legitimize that in any way shape or form. As such, I have no desire to remove the defense that the state cannot guarantee a painless execution.
