What forms of execution are still around?
I was only aware of lethal injection, gas, and the electric chair, so i was very shocked to hear that there were still some horrific forms of execution that people still carry out even today.
Because i was already looking up this topic, I decided to add in a few details to a few of the executions that still take place.
1. Lethal Injection.
In most cases 3 drugs are shot through the prisoners body through IV which are called Sodium thiopental,Pancuronium bromide,and Potassium chloride. For fear of a not being about to successfully carry out the exection due to mechanical failer, most states inject these drugs manually.
2.The electric chair.
The electric chair was first used in 1890 in NewYork.
A wet sponge is placed on the prisoners head for cunductivity and depending on the prisioners state, they adjust the volage. Usually it would be around 2000 for 15 seconds.
3.Gas Chamber.
Mostly all over America do not use this form of execution, but the 5 remaining states that still do use the gas chamber let the prisoners choose to die by lethal injection instead.
Some places in North Korea use the gas chamber to test poisonous gasses on prisoners.hydrogen cyanide is what is used in the gas chamber which a slow and painful death if you dont breath. Naturally from fear, most prisoners hold their breath which slows down the process.
4.Single person shooting
5. Firing Squad.
This form of exection is to be said as the most honorable way of being executed.
6. Hanging,
This form of exection was said to be a common way of execution in the 1850.
7. Beheading.
8.Stoning.
9.Boiling.
This is a very gruesome and painful death where the prisoner is put into boiling water or oil.
Uzbekistan is the only country today that still uses this way to execute poitical dissidents.
10.Burning.
In recent years North Korea was reported to have used this form of execution.

Answer to my question4
How many death sentences have been issued in total?
Before doing my research on this question，I made a guess as to how many deaths have been issued in totall throughout the world. I always tend to over exagerate when thinking about numbers, as I am terrible with numbers. But when I looked up on this subject I was surprised to see that my guess was not all that far off. I guessed that there would be around 2000 sum and to my surprise, on Amnesty International it wrote that In 2014 2466 people at the least were executed which is 28％ more than 2013.
Another thing which I thought was very interesting was when I was doing my reseach, was that alot of topics on Eygpt came up. I clicked on one of the links which led to a site called Todays Zamen where it wrote about how there were 529 demonstrators exacuted. Some of them were executed just for damaging public property. It made me realize the different cultures every country has. To us it may seem very extreme but to the Egyptians it may be there oridnary rule....who knows.

answer to my questions
What happens if the person who was executed
and later found to be innocent?
In Japan, the Minister of Law will make an apology
and if the family is still alive, government will pay for the family indemnification.
However, when the police or prosecution were
hiding some evidence or were faking some evidence, the person who knew about
the cheat will of course get punished.

Answer to my questions
How many cases are there where someone was
told to be executed though later found innocent and was able to avoid death
penalty?
In Japan, there haven’t been any case where the criminal were found innocent after been executed yet after the war. However, there are some cases that people in death
row were found out innocent and gets released. 4 cases being released, one case
now that is going to be released soon and 3 cases that looks like the criminal
is innocent but were executed before being proved.
In different country, for example in China,
criminals gets execution very fast. They get execution soon after being
sentenced so it is very hard to find and help wrongly accused person.

answer to my questions
Can criminals avoid being executed if they
pay enough money?
I searched this matter and found conclusion
of Japan’s execution system. I believe this conclusion goes with every country
that does execution.
However the answer is NO. I think I was so
stupid to think about this matter because I could find very few information
about this. I guess this is because it is so obvious that nobody bother to ask.
If the criminal is “life imprisonment” criminal, there are chances for them to
go outside with surveillance. However for execution, there is no exceptions.

answer to my questions
Why does it take so much time for the
execution to actually take place?
In Japan, it is said in the law that death
penalty has to be done in 6 months after the criminal has been sentenced, but
it normally does not take place in 6 months. It takes much more time for the
death penalty to actually take place and it could be postponed almost forever.
The reason why it takes so much time is
that to do death penalty we need the Minister of Justice’s permission. However,
the relevant department has to deal with massive amount of data about the case
which the criminal is involved before the Minister give the permission. In addition,
the Minister of Justice will also have to deal with the massive data for the
trial. Furthermore, if the criminal asks for a retrial, they could have the
trial and it does not count for the 6 months that is stated in the law. Because
death penalty is a big deal, it is a matter of life and death, the criminal can
ask for retrials many times. So if they keep asking for retrials, the 6 months
will never come which means that deadline will never come to both the Minister
of Justice and to the criminal. Death penalty can be performed during the
retrials or during the criminal asking for a retrial. Although the Ministry of
Justice have to be careful about giving permission so it is likely that they don’t
give permission during the trial and during the criminal asking for a retrial. Death
penalty takes lots of time to be actually done to make enough survey and
consider the facts in order to prevent killing innocent people.
