Utah Votes to Bring Back Firing Squad

Japan doesn't use capital punishment as often as the US, but they hang people

Executions are carried out by hanging in a death chamber within the detention centre. When a death order has been issued, the condemned prisoner is informed in the morning of his/her execution. The condemned is given a choice of the last meal. The prisoner's family and legal representatives are not informed until afterwards. Since 7 December 2007, the authorities have been releasing the names, natures of crime and ages of executed prisoners.[8]

The method of hanging is a substantial drop, causing a quick death by neck fracture. It was not always thus. When Kanno Sugako was hanged in 1911: "...she was ordered to sit upright on the floor. Two thin cords were placed around her neck. The floor-board was removed, In twelve minutes she was dead."[9]

As of late March 2012, there were 135 people awaiting execution in Japan.[10][11] A total of nine convicted murderers were executed in 2007.[12] Three men were executed on 23 August 2007,[13] four men were executed on 25 December 2006,[14] one execution was carried out in 2005[15] and two in 2004.[1]

Two inmates were executed in July 2010,[16] three in March 2012,[17] three in February 2013,[18] and two in April 2013, one in September and two in December 2013.[19]

As of August 2014, the number of inmates in death-row was 126. Of them, 89 are applying for their cases to be reopened and 25 are requesting amnesty

I don't know which is worse between hanging, lethal injection, electric chair and firing squad.
