After 2 years.
Guard: It's time to leave.
Me: Do I have to?
Guard: Yes.
Me: Time to find some more squirrels.

Japanese & Scandinavian prisons seem like a walk in the park compared to foreign prisons in the second and third world.

No rent, 3 good meals a day and you can keep busy at work for 8 hours. Can save $30 a month. Seems better than living in North America making a little above minimum wage.

2:37 when he says "THE SHEER SCALE OF THE PLACE!"
Followed by 1200 inmates... My inner American laughed way to much at that being 'big'

I served 3 years in the infantry.... this seems like a spa retreat to me.. only 5 other guys in the room? hot and fresh meals 3 times a day? only 8 hour work days? And people think thats ROUGH? lol....

If I spoke Japanese, this would seem much more appealing than an American prison. It’s genuine rehabilitation there

[TheLilmissmusiclover]

Very interesting how different it is than prison in the US!

[alexcarr]

Doubt many Americans would complain about those plates 😅

[davidhill]

Better than the North Korean penal system.

I believe Japan is probably one of the safest countries in the world. Or so I’ve read. But they’re definitely creative w their punishments.

This could be the best prison in the world

Sadly this seems seems better than low income life here in America!

Yakuza games made me think Japanese prisons are horrible.

Here in America, they just throw you in a cell and that's it..

[maddykrantz]

I'd hate to be here. I love Japan, but I'd hate the prison system.

Now we definitely need a tutorial on how to escape a maximum security prison 🔥🔥🔥

"Excuse me, judge. I'd actually need a bit more time in jail. It's not that I think the punishment is fitting of my crime or anything, it's just that I spent my savings on this trip and $720 when I leave will not be enough to cover the plane ticket home in this economy, let alone in 2026's economy."
