What do you think about capital punishment?
Is it effective to decrease crime?
Do you agree with the capital punishment?
In some countries, there are no capital punishments.
Also, each country has different way to kill criminals.
 
 
    In Japan, some criminals get the punishment every year. In Japan, condemned convicts are put to death by hanging. Crime of rebellion against the government, conspiracy against Japan, arson of inhabited structure, murder, robbery resulting in death, robbery and murder, fatal rape occurring during robbery or other crimes are considered to receive a death sentence. Condemned criminals live in prisons and they can choose their hair and clothes. Also, sometimes they enjoy watching movies. They are given some pleasures to keep being in good health because they have to pay with their lives.
 
 
    They know to be executed their sentences in the morning and their families know about it at a later date. When they are executed the sentences, prison officers take them to a front room. Then, they enjoy the last luxury items such as tobacco and snacks, write a will if they have not written it yet, hear a sermon, and the head of prison announce formally the execution of capital punishment. After that, they are put bandage over their eyes, are put handcuffs and let them take to a room to execute the sentence. Then, they are restricted their legs and stand on the appropriate position. Three or five prison officers push the button as soon as the head of prison give a signal and then the floorboard under the criminals opens and the sentence is executed. Prison officers don’t know who killed the person because there are some button. It has role to decrease the psychological burden for prison officers. It is the fact of capital punishment in Japan.      
 
 
What do you think read all of them?
Is capital punishment necessary?
Is it effective?
Is it good for people?
 
 
     In my opinion, capital punishment is necessary in Japan. It is because people who be executed their sentences committed such cruel crimes and must atone for offense. No matter how hard they try, they can never make up for their crimes. Also, it takes more money if they live in prison until their dies and it will give a big damage to Japanese government. Moreover, if they live in prisons for a long time, it is possibility to plan a breakout. It is also dangerous for ordinary people. Besides, if there is a capital punishment, it will be related with reducing crimes. Therefore, capital punishment is necessary.
