When a person condemned to death by lethal injection is executed why do they swab his arm with alcohol before inserting the needle?

Because cruel and unusual punishment is both unconstitutional and morally impermissible - by swabbing the arm they dull the pain of the needle insertion, as the injection itself is not designed to cause physical pain.
