"In China, the precise number executions performed is kept a state secret; estimates by Amnesty International say there were at least 1,770 executions in the country in 2005, but says that the number could be as high as 8,000. In comparison, only 60 prisoners were executed in the US the same year.
The number is so high, apparently, that the Chinese government sees fit to operate something that seems like it's right out of one of the Saw movies: a lethal injection bus, which comes complete with a camera for transmitting a live video feed of the deaths back to central command." [Switched]
