The nitrogen method would consist of the death row inmate being strapped down to a chair, once administered can cause convulsions to blackouts, lack of oxygen to the brain and subsequent death within five minutes. If Attorney General Steve Marshall has his wish, it must be wholly approved by Governor Kay Ivey to allow the Alabama Department of Corrections to adopt the method of nitrogen. There is over a dozen inmates who asked for nitrogen over lethal injection. Refer to the Update on Alabama Death Row Inmate Status to determine which inmate has chosen their method.
