the death penalty is carried out in Japan more often than Indonesia,

Just for info, i wikied the Japan vs Indonesia numbers and i reckon Indonesia will catch up pretty quick.
That said, the Japanese only appear to execute murderers and in many cases it has to be multiple murder.
Looking at the Indonesion site, i see they also execute a lot of their own for murder, but when i looked at the drugs related deaths executions since 2000, it is listed as 18 foreigners and 2 locals.
Considering the country is stated to be awash in drugs, i would have suspected a lot higher ratio of locals, unless they somehow know how to evade the system???

This might sound callous, but if you give them life or long sentences they have to be clothed and fed and looked after for anything upto say 50 years, that is a hell of a lot of money.

Maybe here, but not there. Unless you have outside friends sending in food and clothes, you starve in the cold.
I reckon the show of military force and the administrative dog and pony show put on for the execution could have clothed and fed all of the victims for more than 50 years.
All really irrelevant now.
