Question:

If someone built a box crusher machine in a state prison, could it become another method of execution?

The executioner would just have to lock the death row inmate inside the machine and turn it on to carry out the execution.

Answer:

Unlikely. Falls under the heading of cruel and unusual punishment.
No. each state has specific laws detailing the method of execution, the time, the people who have to be there, and other specific details. There is no ad-libbing allowed.
Nope. Most states use lethal injection as it is mist humane. Most things like the thing you mentioned is cruel and unusual punishment which violated the constitution
