A $53,600 renovation has fitted out the Columbia's death chamber with a fitted chair, restraints facing the wall, protective equipment and bulletproof glass.
Firing squad executions entail three shooters, all aiming at the prisoner's head, who will be wearing a hood. Mississippi, Oklahoma and Utah also allow firing squads as a means for execution.
Moore was initially scheduled for execution in 2020, but it was delayed after the state could not get lethal injection drugs. Should Moore's date goes ahead; he will be the first executed prisoner in South Carolina since 36-year-old Jeffrey Motts was killed in 2011.
There are currently 35 inmates on death row in South Carolina.
