People get fooled by their smiling faces and "kind" facade, Japan is a hell of a place to live, there is a reason why it has the highest suicide rate of any country. They are crazy fucks I tell you, these are the people that suicide crashed their planes in war, no much different than the terrorist from 9/11. Still there are worst places in this planet, we should all be glad we weren't born in these hell holes.
I like this system, less criminals better world. think about is as cleaning out the trash. I don't see a problem with the prison, if she was wrongly accused then the problem is not with the prison but with the police system.
I like human rights, but i think if u have broken the law u have lost that right.
Japan has the lowest crime rate in the industrial world. Who knows, maybe they're onto something. To be honest, I'd rather spend time in a JP prison than in a USA one

SHE WAS INNOCENT. How many times does that have to be said. In addition, all studies show that jail in NO WAY correlates to people breaking the law. In other words a crimnal does not think.. man I shouldn't mug that person cause of jail. Instead a crimnal thinks the person I am mugging is trying to fight back or catch me.. I better harm/kill them as to not get caught. Jail is not nor has been a deterent to crime for first time and repeat offenders.
@Jaiyeson Firstly; you're just inferring that she was innocent. She was initially charged with use of Marijuana. How do you know that she was in fact not-guilty of such a crime? Sure, they were wrong to make something up to keep her in prison for a longer duration of time, but that's assuming that (secondly) this video is legitimate, which by the way, I doubt. But hey, that's just my take on it.
Firstly you should take a very close look at the Japanese legal system. And if you take their kangaroo courts seriously then you need mental help. Second there is a history of abuse from Japanese guards to inmates. This is nothing new. I mean just a few years ago the guards of a japanese prison shoved a firehose up a prisoners ass and turned it on.. Which killed the prisoner from internal injuries.. which is why they investigated it.. If he lived it would have been unheard of
@Jaiyeson When did I ever say that there aren't serious problems with the Japanese legal system? Yeah, I've also heard some bad stories. But just looking at this video particular, you can't know this this girl was innocent. And again, this video seems fake to me. That doesn't mean that the situation portrayed in it hasn't actually occurred at some other time to some other unfortunate person before. But I see no evidence that the exact event taking place in the video really occurred.
I lived in Japan for over three years. I liked it a lot. But the jails there are awful, worse than anything we have in the U.S. This was drummed into my head by my wife, who spent 7 years there before me and knew the drill. You can be held for over three weeks in jail and not be charged with ANYTHING. Be careful. Don't be a spoiled brat. No drugs. Don't get drunk and cause damage. You're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.
Whether this video is true or not, jail sucks in Japan.
whiny vegetarians complaining that prison isn't built around what they want. If you want to be somewhere fun don't break the law. Hell this chick would die in mexican prison.
wah wah people who post comments that dont understand english...she was innocent.....go back to mexico and learn some empathy..or think about 'breaking the law' next time you jay-walk or speed
@shiofuki7 better idea: go back to your country and learn about national sovereignty. Japan can run their country however they want, you do not understand the culture, and are just trying to push your cultural ideas on japan.
@riorio23 you are obviously a jap with no compassion or understanding of human decency.....why dont you spend 3 months locked up un able to move or look anywhere but straight ahead and we will see if your still a dropkick.
There are a million reasons to go to Japan. Why just stay your whole life in your country of birth? Thats boring. Better to get out and see the world, explore, open your mind a bit. Japan's an awesome country! If you buy a computer most of the chips that make it run will have been made in Japan. The US military uses electronic chips made in Japan in its fighter jets, computers, missiles and so on. Japan's moved on since the war, and we're better off for it
Oh yah. Don't disobey the king's law and you won't need to serve time. Oh wait don't we live in the era of human rights and free democracies? Nah that's all some new age hogwash.....the divine right belongs to the king/state! Right?
Maybe those Jews Hitler killed in WWII deserved it too right....after all they in many ways broke the laws they were in. Maybe those kurds deserved to be gassed by Saddam....after all Saddam is the leader and law-maker, right?
I agree. She seems spoiled to be whining about not getting the food she wants & prison policies. She could`ve eaten the rice & left the meat but no she must whine. Japan isn`t America. In Japan you are guilty until proven innocent, but the vid. said otherwise. That alone proves this isn`t based on facts. She should be in a West. prison & then she`d be grateful for this jail. In a West. prison she could be beaten up, raped, stripped searched repeatedly, even killed but she whines about meat!
fair play to the japanese, who cares what the human rights dumasses say, this way people are being punished for their crimes, their not having bloody tvs and all that stuff in their rooms
What if they made techno music illegal and put you in jail for that? Punished for their crimes? Give me a fucking break. I always thought REAL crimes were murder, rape, ect. not possessing something that the people in power dislike.
Seriously people like you who are on the side of the abusers in power need to have one of their practices, customs, or favorite things made illegal, then you'll fucking understand.
the problem is people like you who like to point out the evils of others, sort out the problems in your own country rather than pointing the finger at others because your causing more problems than your solving
What? Solve the problems in one country....this is a problem in most countries in the world. Not respecting freedom and human rights, yeah go on here in the states as well. Like I said, I think you would think differently if you had to go to jail for possessing techno music.
Remember this is for cannabis. CANNABIS! So if the government made bananas illegal you would say they deserve the punishment? Why.....because the government knows everything? Come on now, don't be silly.
I went to japan twice for 3 months each time. The only thing you have to worry about is illegal drugs (pot, cocaine heroin etc) Prescription melds are ok. But anyone who brings drugs into another country, any country mexico, japan kenya etc is just asking for it.
Funny how they call smoking marijuana bad......before the Americans forced prohibition on Japan it was widely used all over the island. Actually most Japanese have no idea the plant criminalized is the same plant glorified in their mythologies, traditional medicine, and other writings.
This isnt about committing any crimes, it's about being in Japan and being blamed for something you didnt do. I think more things should be reported in America about what crimes the Japanese are doing to see how they like it. Maybe they will think twice about coming to America to fuck everything up.
you obviously have missed the point. The Japanese have a 99 percent conviction rate because they arrest innocent people for crimes they havent commited. Everybody commits crimes to some level or another. Its how we treat people that defines us as civilized nations.
you can be arrested and detained without bail for 48 hours on suspicion. If the police have enough evidence to keep you they have to presentit to a prosecuter within the 48 hrs. They just don't hold you there for no reson! Stop circumventing and just follow the laws or go home!
kusunoki do you understand english? The girl was falsely arrested....if you dont understand english...stop writing stupid comments that are irrelevant.
Do I understand English? No I just communicate with it for avocation.....
If you believe what I wrote is immaterial then you should go spark up another blunt. The innocent is the person who explains nothing cumquat so keep bumping your gums perusing your innocence.
With a 99.9% conviction rate, a bureaucratic judicial systems which rewards convictions and punishes non-indictment and acquittals, and a detention system that does not protect the rights of the detainees, innocent people--Japanese and non-Japanese alike--are wrongfully being convicted.
You said that "they don't hold you there for no reason." The police hold an individual, and send his/her case on to a prosecutor, based on suspicion. Suspicion does not equate to guilt. With a 99.9% conviction rate, an indictment is a defacto conviction. Meaning, that all power to convict or acquit, essentially, rests with the prosecutor--the same individual who is rewarded for convicting and potentially punished for non-indictment. It would be naive to assume the infallibility of the procuracy.
Detention based on suspicion of a crime.... now there's a new concept.
I'm not contesting the conviction rate of your judicial system or the prosecutors zeal to preform his duty. What I'm simply saying is if you willingly hold something on your person that is known to be illegal than don't be surprised of the consequences.
If you don't like the fact that marijuana is illegal where you live, then fight to change the laws but stop circumventing the existing law.
In your first comment you mentioned that the police will not just hold someone without reason, and I'm saying that they will...or at least, they will detain someone without probable cause or reason. The police will then utilize the initial 72 hour period (not 48 hours), plus two separate (concurrent) 10 day investigation periods to extract some form of confession from the suspect. It happens time & time again.
That said, I agree with you in that the existing laws should be obeyed (or at least one must be willing to face the consequences for breaking any existing law). I am not defending anyone who knowingly and willingly decides to smoke marijuana in Japan. I am simply concerned about the heavy "guilty until proven innocent" assumptions and systematic pro-conviction skews that exist within modern Japanese jurisprudence.
Fight to change the law? Don't you know how long that has been happening, there are too many people in power who benefit by having it illegal and since these people rule nothing can be changed. You really have a faulty concept on how laws are made. But what can I say, as I said earlier until something you like and do becomes illegal for petty beurocratic reasons only then will you learn.
Hi shiofuki7, are you sure you were in Japan and not kidnapped to some U.S. outsourced prison in a third 'friendly' country? You may accuse Japan of strict and harsh treatment of inmates but torture isn't one that flies. Do you know what happens to prisoners in U.S. jails?
This isn't about what happens in US jails, this is about the abuse that happens in Japanese jails, detention centers, and prisons. Whatever abuse that goes on in the US penal system is only a fraction of what occurs in Japan. The Japanese policing, judicial, and penal systems are vastly corrupt and rife with abuse.
I think people just don't hear as much about the US prison system. There are plenty of reports of unfair trials, prisoners being tortured, raped, paralysed and murdered in the US by guards, and of very little being done to stop the guards that do it. It happens for many years in the same jails to many prisoners and nothing changes even when prisoners die and white-washes are exposed. Japan might be worse I don't know, but I wouldn't be so sure that the US represents a mere fraction of it.
I would say that most, if not all, penal systems "white-wash" crimes committed by prison staff in their own facilities. The U.S. is no exception to this. The Japanese MOJ openly & willingly violates human rights at every step in the arrest-detention-conviction process.
You spoke of "ufair" trials in the U.S. The U.S. system is not without its flaws, & unfair trials will occur. In Japan, the conviction rate is 99.99%, meaning that an innocent verdict is a near impossibility. Let me ask you: where would you rather be put on trial? Exactly.
Well having spent three months on the inside tied to a chair and being forced to sign false confessions I guess Im allowed to be pissed off. However I know live in the UK and it is way to liberal here. It would be nice to have something in the middle....people are still human beings regardless of their 'crimes'.
shiofuki7, what's your problem with japanese jails I noticed you posted 2 videos on them! I'll tell you one thing though, I am for doing anything japan does if it can make our cities as safe as theirs.
Yes this is harsh but if it wasn't, Japans' crime rate wouldn't be as low as it is.

Inmates? Everybody in jail in Japan is put in solitary regardless of what they have done

It's still better than prisons in the U.S. At least in Japanese prisons the inmates are safe.
