The company located in Radnor, Pa. called Airgas 'has not and will not supply Alabama nitrogen or other inert gases to induce hypoxia for the purpose of human execution,' a spokesperson said.
Executive Director Bianca Tylek of Worth Rises, a nonprofit that works to dismantle the prison industry and those who profit off of incarceration, applauded Airgas’ commitment to not aiding in executions.
That letter also stated that the Alabama Department of Corrections “does not currently have nitrogen cylinders owned by Airgas, according to our records.”Airgas, which supplies gases other than nitrogen along with gas equipment, welding products, and safety products, was paid $287,247.
Airgas’ stance on Alabama’s desire to implement nitrogen executions comes on the heels of Gov. Kay Ivey’sthat no executions would happen while an internal review was conducted on the ADOC’s lethal injection protocol. “If officers have not been able to locate a vein for lethal injection, then I have zero confidence that an officer will be able to properly seal a mask to ensure others don’t get hurt,” said Tylek.
