I did not know that Japan continuous to carry out capital punishments and that it is besides the U.S. the only Western country to do so. What is perhaps unusual that the inmate will not know until the day of execution that he or she will die on this day.
A Alphonse Karr (he is famous for this quote: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”):
“Si l'on veut abolir la peine de mort en ce cas, que MM. les assassins commencent: qu'ils ne tuent pas, on ne les tuera pas.
(If one wants to abolish the death penalty in this case, Messrs. murderers should take the first step: they do not kill, we will not kill them.” (Source)
