yar this is a bit ridiculous.. japan is an incredibly civilised society.. very safe..
"relatively few young criminals in Japan are detained, and they are usually kept not in prisons but in Juvenile Training Schools. I was taken to see the oldest of them, the Tama Juvenile Training School at Hachioji in the suburbs of Tokyo.
Lawyer Kenji Ikegami says punishment can be necessary
There are 200 boys here, who live highly regimented lives, with a busy schedule of classes, exercise, assemblies and group discussions.
Vocational training is also strong, with classes in metalwork, computer skills, construction techniques and - bizarrely - handling of dangerous substances. I was impressed to hear that the training is evidently effective, as 40% of the boys find jobs before they leave. "
just don't fuck with the yakuza
