Texas prison system running out of execution drug
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said Thursday that its remaining supply of pentobarbital expires in September and that no alternatives have been found. It wasn't immediately clear whether two executions scheduled for next month would be delayed. The state has already executed 11 death-row inmates this year, and at least seven more have execution dates in coming months.
I don't see a problem. They could just go back to hanging them in the public square, unless I guess there's also a shortage of good hemp rope. Apparently that's pretty much the consensus of the commenters, too.
There's also a bullet shortage.
