Death Row: Japan vs United States - What's the Difference?

There are only two first world democracies using the Death Penalty, Japan and the United States, but how each goes about their executions is vastly different, and prisoners waiting on death row have a very different experience in each country. Check out our new video where we compare the death penalty in Japan to America. Which is harsher, and which country takes more lives? Find out which country is more brutal right here.

I served 3 years in prison. Mentally I never really struggled because I knew exactly what day I was walking out of that place. I kept busy and worked a lot. But I could never understand how the guys in there doing life could get up every day and smile at all. Knowing the day they leave that place is the day they die and they're gonna be carried out in a box. I truly think I'd find a way to unalive myself. I couldn't do it

[@MitchJohnson0110]

Also worth noting in the US, you can voluntarily drop your appeals and request an execution date to be scheduled. These "volunteer executions" make up about 10% of executions in the States. Effectively giving them a free suicide via lethal injection instead of waiting on death row for 30 years

He was informed that anything I said under stress is less reliable because my memory gets blurry and my senses are impaired. He knew that yet he asked the most important questions only after stressing me out. He used body language and tone to intimidate me.

There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:14‭-‬21 NKJV

I know a japanese guy who the police didnt like so they took him to jail for "not carrying a foreign permit", accusing him of being a foreigner since he couldn't prove at that time he wasnt a foreigner. They finally let him go when he could cite a japanese poem that all elementary school kids had to learn. Edit: based on some comments, it seems like the law was abolished in 2012.

A couple observations. a) what would you think of the way France did things? When the judgment passed a death sentence and the appeal confirmed it, the only thing remaining was appealing to the president to have death commuted into life in prison. Howevern, once the president had denied the move, the prisoner was not informed until he got woken up a 3 am and told the Man from Paris was there, this usually happened withing 15 days of the presidential decision, I don't remember if that decision was made public before the execution. b) that bit about US deciding execution methods at state level is kind of old isn't it? I mean, for whatever reasons, all methods other than injection have been declared unconstitutional as cruel (like a botched injection is not, and let's face it, few are letter perfect procedures).

It honestly depends on if the civilization values crime prevention/deterrent or getting the truth both are tricky though because they rely human Judgement. A jury can be bias regardless of where they are from even if they are anonymous/pulled from other districts and states like in the US or if we value truth the mentioned counselor before the interrogation could be biased and believe some one who is proven guilty to be innocent or guilty, or if their innocent they could think they guilty. No matter how you think about their both a 50/50 system. It could be argued Japan’s low crime rate is due to its high conviction rate, because regardless of if their guilty extreme punishment is a proven deterrent, not the best, but it works… not arguing for it though. Valuing getting the truth is also flawed because here in the west things are always a 50/50 verdict unless we have video evidence or forensic evidence, the punishment like life in prison or death may be a deterrent but the system required to convict someone here is arguably easily cheated. I’m not arguing for that either though. In my opinion it comes down to personal opinion and your civilizations values. Do you value Peace and Order, or do you value a broad term like Human Rights and something as elusive and hard to define as Truth?

There is one inaccurate statement in this video. When given lethal injection it is similar to Japan where three seperate people push plungers from the oppisite side of a wall. So no one knows if they were the one who ultimately carried out the death sentence. This may not be widely known but I just thought it may give some people peace of mind

[@oneoflokis]

Thought the Japanese used hanging?

[@Pepe-dq2ib]

@@oneoflokis they use hanging, injection and firing squad.

[@_goyonder_4899]

The separate plungers aren't so people can believe they didn't do it, each plunger contains a different chemical. The first renders the inmate unconscious, the second is a muscle relaxant (it even stops the breathing), and the third is to stop the heart

[@dans9463]

Regarding not having peace of mind... Dropping the bomb on Japan meant the executioner who pressed the button knew exactly who he murdered. The photos and stories of the victims were his doings directly... Unlike being one of many conventional bombers.. or part of a firing squad where there's a chance he had the blank.

[@gorotv5826]

As a Japanese, I assure you that the explanation in this video is completely wrong. The reason why the conviction rate in Japan is 99% (97% at the latest) is because the prosecution rate in Japan is only 8%. Unlike many foreign countries, Japanese prosecutors only prosecute cases with a high probability of conviction, and in many cases release suspects after questioning, which naturally results in a high conviction rate. This argument about Japan's conviction rate is a typical misconception about Japan's conviction rate circulating on the Internet.

[@CivilizedWarrior]

The problem here in the US is that we can’t trust our police to do their job correctly. Many cops have tunnel vision, and confirmation bias. They only take into consideration the evidence that fits their theory. Exculpatory evidence is not released in discovery. Some cops have planted evidence. Then you have the district attorneys who only care about their conviction rate and being re-elected and could care less about the truth and justice. They use junk science, jailhouse snitches to lie, and pressure witnesses to ID the suspect they want them to ID. High profile cases put so much pressure on them, that they need to arrest and convict someone, even if it’s not the right someone. This is why death sentences should not be handed down lightly or quickly. To protect the innocent that should have been protected by police in the first place. You are not innocent until proven guilty. You are guilty until proven innocent.
