    FLORIDA Governor DEPARTMENT of RON DESANTIS CORRECTIONS Secretary MARK S. INCH 501 South Calhoun Street, Tallahassee. FL 32399-2500 www. dc. state. fl. us May 6, 2021 The Honorable Ron DeSantis Executive Office of the Governor PL 05, The Capitol 400 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0001 Dear Governor DeSantis: I have carefully reviewed the lethal injection procedures issued by my department. Pursuant to these procedures, I represent the following: As Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections, I have reviewed the Department's Execution by Lethal Injection Procedures to ensure proper implementation of the Department's statutory duties under Chapter 922, Florida Statutes. The procedure has been reviewed and is compatible with evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society, the concepts of the dignity of man, and advances in science, research, pharmacology, and technology. The process will not involve unnecessary lingering or the unnecessary or wanton infliction of pain and suffering. The foremost objective of the lethal injection process is a humane and dignified death. Additional guiding principles of the lethal injection process are that it should not be of long duration, and that while the entire process of execution should be transparent, the concerns and emotions of all those involved must be addressed. I hereby certify that the Department is prepared to administer an execution by lethal injection and has the necessary procedures, equipment, facilities, and personnel in place to do so. The Department has available the appropriate persons who meet the minimum qualifications under Florida Statutes and in addition have the education, training, or experience, including the necessary licensure or certification, required to perform the responsibilities or duties specified and to anticipate contingencies that might arise during the execution procedure.
