I don't believe in the death penalty but in places where it is still used I don't know why they still don't do this. Cheap, like you said, and painless if done properly I would assume. Heck, guillotine would probably still work pretty well. I find the chair and the gas chamber unnecessarily cruel.
I guess it's cause these deaths seem 'violent' even though they'd probably be way more humane than a lot of the ones they use. Even lethal injection could be considered to be mentally cruel. All that waiting around, waiting for the drugs to kick in, slowly having your consciousness fade away.
I'd rather be shot. Really. As long as it doesn't take 4 bullets.
