Heh ... with this difference: the Japanese per one claim I’ve seen don’t tell you when they’ve decided to execute you. No building up to it, just every single day as if it were your last. Every single day.
Presumably with no fancy meals to give you warning.
Talk about stress....
I watched a documentary about death row in Japan. As one lady who was on death row put it, “you don’t know if the next knock will be your meal or if the time has come”.
