FYI:

Actual costs of execution WITHOUT legal elements:

The Department of Corrections reported a negligible fiscal impact associated
with the switch in execution method. The department would have to either build
or purchase the associated equipment. The department also reported the cost of
one execution by electrocution as follows: executioner's fee $150.00; Last Meal
$20.00; Suit and Shirt $150.00; Funeral Home $525.00; and security overtime
$1,380.00; for a total cost of $2,225.00.
The analysis spoke to the cost of administering lethal injections, which ranged
from the least expensive method such as Texas, which used medically trained
personnel to administer the lethal injection, to New Jersey, who had purchased
a computer controlled injection machine at a cost of $18,000.
