5.2 Discussion: Medicating Incompetent Inmates

In the field of mental health and criminal justice, there is heated debate over the morality of administering medications to mentally ill prisoners in order to render them competent for execution. Some think it violates people’s rights and autonomy, while others say justice is essential to deliver justice (Heilbrun et al., 1992).

Orta et al. (2023) found that medicating prisoners against their will violates their right to refuse treatment and puts them at risk of adverse drug reactions. In addition, according to Orta et al. (2023), an inmate’s right to bodily integrity is violated when antipsychotic drugs are forcibly administered. Forcefully medicating someone who cannot make their own treatment decisions raises serious ethical concerns. Furthermore, in certain instances, the efficacy of drugs in regaining competency is debatable. Mental illness, intellectual disability, and trauma are just a few of the many causes that might contribute to a person’s incompetence. According to Danzer et al. (2019), medicating someone might not solve their incompetence problem.

In conclusion, there are serious moral questions regarding the efficacy, autonomy, and physical integrity of medicating incompetent prisoners in preparation for their execution. When making judgments on the treatment of individuals facing execution, it is crucial that lawmakers and professionals in the domains of criminal justice and mental health thoroughly examine these issues.
