Lethal injection

USA - The lethal cocktail is administered in 37 US states and by the federal government.

It's used too in Guatemala, China (firing squad & lethal injection) and Taiwan (firing squad & lethal injection).

“However, they might want to re-examine their position, since there have been a series of botched and lengthy executions under the current regime. Steven Morin's executioners took 45 minutes to find a vein. The needle inserted in Raymond Landry's arm popped out a couple of minutes after the drugs had started to flow and it took officials fourteen minutes to get it back in, for a total execution time of 40 minutes. Ricky Ray Rector spent 50 minutes moaning behind a curtain while five execution team members worked on both his arms to find a vein that would accept a needle. A total of 36 botched executions have been reported, with prisoners weeping and moaning, technicians eventually inserting needles in the prisoner's neck or foot, drug flow stopping halfway through, or the prisoner convulsing and writhing. There are reports of prisoners breathing long after paralysis should have set in under the protocol.”

Joseph Lewis Clark took 90 minutes to die, yes, 1 hour and half. He was murdered by the state of Ohio last year, making it one of the longest lethal injection executions in US history.
He was tortured to death.
