Japan Reveals Its Execution Room For The First Time

Share

This stark, almost peaceful looking room is actually Japan's execution room. The ring on top holds the noose, the red square outlines the trapdoor and this is the first time Japan has ever shown these rooms off.Much of Japan's execution process has been shrouded in mystery. In fact, when local news outlets were previously taken to these execution sites (seven exist in the country), they were transported in a bus with closed curtains to keep the location a secret. In the first viewing of these execution rooms, the NY Times describes Japan's execution process.
