Japanese Prisoner's Last Meal...

Guess what?
You don't get one! Or I should say, you don't get a "special" last meal.
You see, in Japan, they handle the execution process a little different than here in the United States. In Japan, executions are performed not at prisons, but at detention centers. Those on death row are never sent to prison, but remain in the detention center until an appeal is won or their execution is carried out. The method used is hanging. Executions are usually carried out on Friday mornings, and convicts are not given advance notification. Surviving any Friday past nine a.m. guarantees another week of life. The names of the executed are never announced publicly, and the act of execution may not be acknowledged until well after the event. Even family and attorneys are not informed of the deaths firsthand - they learn of the executions when the detention center requests that a prisoner's possessions or ashes be picked up. Ammesty International is up in arms over how executions are handled and state they are inhumane.

So, let me get this straight...A guy goes out. He's angry at the world. Lashes out and kills some innocent person. That person never got advanced warning that, "Hey, in a few minutes some nut job is going to come up and kill you. Sorry." Yet, that guy is convicted of murder and sentence to death. Furthermore this guy isn't given advanced notification of his death, just like his victim. So, the furror of Ammesty International is the cruelty involved in this? Why is one death treated differently than the other? Should we just pass a law that if you are an aspiring murderer that you give your victim 24hr advanced notice before carrying out the deed?
Talk about crazy...
