Thailand Broadcasts Executions On The Internet
 
Thai Executions On Internet

Thailand is to make live internet broadcasts of prisoners' last moments before execution in a bid to deter lawbreakers.

Cameras have already been installed at Bangkwang maximum security prison near Bangkok where nearly 1,000 inmates are facing death.

Nathee Chitsawang, corrections chief, said: "The internet will show how we treat the convicts in their last minutes, including the preparation process.

"But at the time of execution, the viewer will be allowed to see only part of the process."

The broadcasts are designed to deter people from breaking the law and reduce the number of drug dealers, who face the death penalty in Thailand.

The move has been opposed by Amnesty International.

A spokesman said: "The website should not show activities inside the prison and should be mindful of human rights and show respect to the prisoners."

Cameras were installed in a cell in Maricopa Country, Arizona, in the US, several years ago but a court ruled last year the transmissions should be stopped.

One of the appeal judges said the practice constituted "a level of humiliation that almost anyone would regard as profoundly undesirable."

we should do that here! punishment (whether jail, fine, or death) is not as great a great deterrent as one would hope, maybe if motherfuckers really knew what it was like then they would think again

then of course, the benefits may outweigh the risk taken. well who knowz.
