I got the impression from the first article that I read that this was the case (all in one event), but it didn't seem to come right out and say that. Interesting.

ETA: Texas has seven executions scheduled from now through December. Texas has executed eight so far in 2018, the latest three days ago.

So Japan still has the death penalty

Japanese cult leader executed for Tokyo sarin attack

Not just the cult leader, but 12 others sentenced to death as well. Seven were hanged this week, six more to go.

According to the article, executions are carried out in secret and no warning of the execution date is given to the prisoner or anyone else. I guess they just show up at your cell and say "It's your turn."
