A prison in South Carolina is set to execute its first death row inmate in 11 years, now giving inmates the option to pick death by firing squad after corrections spent $53,600 on renovations.

The execution of Richard Bernard Moore, 57, was initially scheduled for November 2020, but his execution was deferred by the South Carolina Supreme Court after prison officials couldn’t obtain lethal injection drugs.
