Texas Prisons Running Low on Execution Drugs; Should this Information be Withheld from the Public?

In an article published in the Austin American Statesman, they talked about how prisons in Texas are running low on a primary drug used in executions. From what was said Texas only has enough of this medication to last them the next six months. But the main focus of the story isn't just necessarily about the shortage of "pentobarbital" its about the prison systems wanting to keep this information a secret. One of the biggest questions is should this be withheld from the public eye? And if so why would the prison system feel like this information could potentially be so threatening? What would this do to the public besides allow them to get a little insight on what is going on with executions in the state. I feel like if you live in a state that performs executions on a regular basis then you should be allowed see, ask, and understand the process on which these executions are carried out. Anytime you could be affected by a law or punishment i feel as if you shouldn't be limited on the access of information on it. The prison system did release its drug supplier and amount of current supply on hand two years ago after the Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said in his opinion "it was public information." The argument the prison system was making was that giving out this information would "trigger violent protests outside the execution chamber or embolden death penalty opponents." I strongly disagree with this! If people don't like something, they aren't gonna like it that much more being more knowledgeable on the topic. If there's already a certain amount of people against executions then i don't see what would really change having those people still disagreeing with it. Protesters will protest, thats what they do. People have the right to think and disagree on what they believe is wrong or right. But not having the opportunity to be educated on the situation isn't right and can led to people acting out and being violent from not being properly informed.
