You can be on death row for years, but you will never know what day you are going to die. Every night you go to bed not knowing if tomorrow is the day. They just randomly come to your cell someday and say "it's time"

I dont think Japan executes very many people, compared to America though

i'm not sure if that's less humane or more humane. being told your exact date is kind of cold, too.

Death row has been recognised as a form of psychological torture, so Id say knowing when its coming is better. At least you have a chance to come to terms.

Yep, heard about it when Shoka Asahara and various other Aum Shinrikyo members were executed for their part in the Tokyo subway sarin attack. As BBC News noted:

Officials do not give advance public notice of executions, and those condemned usually learn they are scheduled to die just a few hours beforehand.

On the other hand, nobody has been executed in Japan since July 26th 2022.

It's kind of fucked up that you guys think this sort of psychological torture is "cool".

No country that has the death penalty can call itself civilised.

Japan doesn't have many criminals but their prisons are notoriously hellish. Pretty much the one part of their society that they didn't reform after WW2.

It's kind of fucked up to commit a crime that warrants being executed

Hopefully all the innocent people executed get a signed 'soz' from the government.

It's even more fucked up to get executed when you didn't commit a crime but you were wrongfully found guilty.

As long as that's a possibility the death penalty is fundamentally undefendable.

Eh, frankly, European nations (and, yes, the US, too... but we have dp at the federal level and in multiple states) kill more criminals during an "arrest" than Japan executes.

From their perspective, at least they arrest and give the criminals a trial, not street executions.
