## Resource

Idaho’s prison system is under fire after its director greenlit new execution protocols—including firing squad as the primary method—without proper justification or disclosure, sparking a high-stakes lawsuit from two death row inmates. With lethal injection failing in a recent botched attempt, the state rushed to adopt the firing squad, making Idaho one of just five states to allow it. Lawyers argue the director’s moves violate constitutional rights, including the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, and challenge the legality of how these policies were implemented. The case, filed under Idaho’s Administrative Procedure Act, questions whether the state’s new execution rules were transparent, lawful, and fair—especially for inmates like Thomas Creech and Gerald Pizzuto, who’ve waited decades for justice and now face procedures they say were rushed and unjust.
