Hello! In this very special episode of Its a History Podcast, I had the oppurtunity to speak with Corinna Barrett Lain about her most recent book "Secrets of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection".
We discuss the secrecy surrounding Lethal Injection and the morality of having Agents of the State perform this act.
Some of the material discussed in this episode will be sensitive to some listeners.
If you want to read this book yourself (you will!) you can find it on Corinna's website:
At her website, you can also find her book tour schedule for this book. Check it out and see if she will be visiting a city near you!
If you would like to send me any questions, comments, or ideas for future podcast episodes please email me at itsahistorypodcast@gmail.com.
