Actually, I don't know why they don't use carbon monoxide. It's pretty easy to come by and the person breathing it just falls to sleep then quits breathing, no pain.

Good point. I think overdoses of barbituates or opiates will be workable, too.

Also, there's hypothermia. Just strip 'em and drop 'em in a snow zone miles from any help. I hear it's quite a pleasant death. It's not cruel, but it is a bit unusual.

No constitutional problem then, since it has to be both to violate the 8th Amendment.

No, it's cruel too. The last minutes of hypothermia may be dreamlike, but there's some excruciating stages before that. Think of it as torture followed by lethal injection -- the next step in Abu Ghraib incarceration practices.
