Volunteer Research Delays An Execution
- Maya Foa volunteered at Reprieve and spent a frantic night tracing lethal-injection drugs that delayed an execution.
- Her hour-long search eventually produced an affidavit that briefly stayed Jeffrey Landrigan's execution before the Supreme Court lifted it.
London Middleman Behind U.S. Executions
- Karen Duffin traced shipments and found a middleman called Dream Farmer supplying U.S. prisons from a London storefront.
- The supplier turned out to be a one‑man operation run out of a driving school back room.
Export Controls Shut Off Drug Supply
- The UK outlawed exports that facilitate capital punishment, cutting off the supply chain once Dream Farmer was exposed.
- That regulatory step dramatically reduced access to key execution drugs in U.S. states.
