「死刑執行を担うなら辞職」元刑務官が語る「究極の刑罰」殺人犯は最後にたばこを吸った
==========

A former prison officer who was involved in executions in Japan reveals the process and psychological burden of carrying out the death penalty. The officer describes escorting the condemned inmate to the execution chamber, where the inmate was allowed to smoke a cigarette before walking into the execution room. The officer explains the duties involved in the execution, including securing the inmate, blindfolding them, and pressing a button that triggers the trapdoor. The officer also discusses the mental stress experienced by those involved in executions and raises questions about the role of prison officers in carrying out the death penalty. A researcher specializing in the history of execution in Japan also questions the current system and calls for a mechanism to verify the proper execution of the death penalty.
