The BBC carried this report today regarding death row in Thailand:
A prison in the Thai capital, Bangkok, is planning to broadcast inmates' daily lives, as well as their final moments before execution, live on the internet...
No date has yet been set for broadcasts from the Bangkwang prison... but cameras are said to have already been installed.
Prison spokesman Nathee Chitsawang told the Associated Press news agency that the internet "will show how we treat convicts in their last minutes, including the preparation process".
But, he said, viewers will only see snippets of the final moments leading up to an execution.
Admittedly, it's a webcast as opposed to a television show. But is it only a matter of time?
