Death Row Prisoners Last Moments Live on the Net

Thailand is to start live internet broadcasts of life behind prison walls – including convicts’ last moments before execution – in a bid to deter lawbreaking, especially a burgeoning number of drug dealers.

Though no date has been fixed to begin the broadcasts, cameras have already been installed at Bangkwang maximum security prison on the outskirts of Bangkok, which houses more than 6,000 inmates. Nearly 1,000 are sentenced to death, and 65 are awaiting execution with no appeals pending.

“From now on people can see life in prison through the Internet,” said Corrections Department chief Nathee Chitsawang.

The broadcasts will show the inmates’ daily lives, as well as the last minutes of condemned men as they are being taken from their cells to execution, he said

2. "[B]id to deter lawbreaking"? LIE

No one in any government position believes this line of mendacity. Showing executions publicly does not deter anyone from committing a crime that is punished by the death penalty. It shows people that the government has the power of life and death over you, a power that no government should be granted, ever. EVER.
