Division Thirteen
Capital Punishment
Otherwise known as the "Execution" Squad Thirteenth Division's border is set against the Judicial border for a specific reason as the coordination between law and punishment must be a thin one, Division Thirteen is as its name suggests in charge of executions performed both with ceremony and without. Shinigami crimes are usually carried out with ceremony when convicted and sentenced to death, the ceremony itself though is dependent upon the rank and circumstance of the Shinigami and the crime he or she committed while crimes in Rukongai, while not normally deserving of the Death penalty are usually carried out on the field or are executed privately and without ceremony. A secondary obligation of the Thirteenth Division is to oversee court sentencing and members of this division are usually asked to sit-in on "popular" cases and act as a "defendant's" attorney to serve both the cause of justice by adding a non-judicial squad to the courts as well as familiarize the defendant with their executioner if the crime is serious enough, though it's a common practice to avoid personalization in an execution by replacing the "defendant" squad member with an unaffiliated member.
