Damn, I want to move to Japan now.
Fucked up country I wish for the people to be free one day from their current fascist leaders.
How often does this actually happen in reality versus it being trotted out as a backstory after being caught?
If he stabbed someone and got this treatment, it would be very different than if he had a loud but normal argument you might see in any big box store in the US.
That he doesn't go on to protest why he got locked up makes me think it was something more serious.
Some time ago (can't easily find it anymore) there was a expose on UK prisons, which was interesting without even knowing what crime the prisoner was convicted of, but turns out it was abuse of a relative.

>Both cases were ultimately dropped and the second arrest was essentially tied to the first and shouldn’t have even been possible. But because of how the system works weather it’s a viable reason or not, they can still trap you in there for a time while the case is being reviewed. I met others who where there for shorter and much longer periods of time. The worst part was knowing i was innocent. After it’s all said and done you walk out and they act as if nothing happened. Not only was this was all extremely traumatizing but it cost me a HUGE of money that I really did not have and caused irreversible damage to my life.
The arrogance of American tourists is truly boundless. How dare Japanese people not speak English! Who do they think they are?
> Food: Small, plain AWFUL meals with no choices, no snacks, nothing extra
> Sleep disruption: Bright lights, strict schedules, constant noise, uncomfortable bedding, never being fully rested
> Mental exhaustion: Long, empty days with nothing to do but sit and wait to be interrogated or yelled at for something
> Strict control: Every action, movement, posture, and word
> No stimulation: No phone, no music, no distractions, nothing to escape into
> Relentless routine: The same long, repetitive days over and over with no break
> Your life outside being disrupted: Missing work, bills, family, friends, events, pets etc. The world going on while you’re stuck in here.
> In contrast, in the United States, people are typically taken to a local jail, see a judge within a couple of days, and are informed of their charges quickly.
A google search will reveal that extended detention happens all the time in the US. Random news article:
