I sometimes feel a divide between and other people who are against the death penalty when it comes to the topic of sex offenders, because their argument often seems to go "the death penalty in that case is bad because it can be targeted against trans people/ queer people/ gay people", and my argument is that I don't think the government should have the right to kill people

Irezumi kei (tattoo penalty) as depicted in the [徳鄰厳秘録 - Tokuringenbiroku], a kind of penalty instruction book compiled in 1814, digitalized by the National Archives of Japan.

CW for this post about Edo period judiciary => mentions of physical punishment, torture, death penalty (text only, no details, no graphic illustrations) . The irezumikei pages above are p.19 to 25.

I won't reproduced the illustrations here, but the Tokuringenbiroku book also presents other Edo period "punishments" and death penalties, like different types of goumon (torture), gokumon (decapitation and exposure of the head to public view), kakei (stake), haritsuke (crucifixion), or tameshigiri (sword cut testing, here on executed convict corpse). Please proceed to the full book according to your sensibilities!

Back to irezumi kei : the markings of character Akaza (from Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon's Slayer) are directly inspired by those, same for Mugen in Samurai Champloo for example:

After Tokugawa Yoshimune's reforms abolished bloodier punishments (nose or ear cutting) for lesser crimes (like theft, gambling or fraud), irezumikei spread, inspired by Chinese bokkei practices.

Yet, zainin (lawbreakers) were also often beaten or whipped (tataki), which could be a "light" sentence or more far extreme one. Women tended to be imprisoned instead.

Punishment tattoos also often went alongside tokorobarai (banishment), which had several levels depending on the crime. You could be banished to a remote island, just away from your city, or forbidden to enter a certain perimeter.

Exile is why different areas had different marks, placed on the arms or faces, easily identifying the person as a criminal convicted in another region.

Number of lines or dots were often used to symbolize repeated offences (pic below source). Most of the times, getting 3+ irezumikei could grant you death penalty.

Irezumikei maybe be why criminals came to use extravagant tattoos, as to cover their infamous marks, leading to the yakuza association with body ink.

Yet, other strata of population also favored figurative tattoos, so the link between criminals and tattoing in Edo period is not self-evident.

Some shapes of -sode (sleeve part of a tattoo) for example left arm interior bare, maybe to prove then that no armband tattoo was hidden underneath a bigger design.

In 2021, my grandfather was murdered. The state calls it manslaughter, but it was murder. Because I live in a death penalty state, I am more happy than not with that definition. I do not want his killers to die by the hand of the state or any hand at all. I have forgiven them.

I am a person with traumatic grief. It may even be classed as post traumatic stress when I go see a psychologist this month. Nevertheless, I am a staunch opposer of the death penalty.

As part of being a Christian, as well as a Quaker, I am called to forgive. Not a day goes by that I don't think about it. Not a day goes by that I don't forgive them all over again. I love them as my fellow man.

A character has been accused and convicted of a crime. A particularly heinous one - potentially world-ending levels of evil, I mean. Even capital punishment wouldn't be enough.

Luckily, this character cannot stay dead.

Perhaps after the fifth death they can get a retrial - see if they should be forgiven already.

I... I mean, we love you very much. So come home soon. Let’s hug tight.

Currently getting closer to my practical exam day and practising my monologue is so fun, especially since it’s my source. Like. “This is a court of justice. You’ll get justice here.” Yes of course she’s going to get justice here, but only for her crimes, and the penalty is death! Haha. Why am I so maniacal about this.

Once again putting forth my third-way proposal that we begin implementing capital punishment solely through suitless space walks. This would put us in a double bind of positive outcomes; either executions drop to nothing because it’s prohibitively expensive to keep training death row inmates as astronauts, or the wholesome tenacity of the American killing spirit will give the space program the kick in the pants it sorely needs absent a relevant military opponent. Will there be be negative externalities, you ask? Sure. We’ll see a sharp uptick in the most brutal murders imaginable, committed by individuals so determined to achieve sweet momentary communion with the one true void that they’ll pay any moral cost. But let’s not kid ourselves; all progressive policies have drawbacks. The only true sin is to elide them when the concept is brought to table.
