However, executions are generally deemed cruel when they involve prolonged suffering, torture, or extreme methods that go beyond the intended purpose of punishment.

Utah (1878), the Court found that the firing squad did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The last case of firing squad execution in the United States was in Utah in 1996 and was elected by the condemned. Utah removed the option for firing squad execution in 2004. A 1993 survey suggested that Firing Squad was more painful to the condemned only than execution by lethal injection, below electrocution, the second most common method of execution in the United States.
