What Japanese Prison Food is Like ★ ONLY in JAPAN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Japan has some amazing prison food, which should be no surprise. Inmates are served healthy, nutritious meals of grilled fish, salads, rice and soup - which are actually healthier than most school lunches around the world! Would you like to try what prisoners eat? There's a prison in Hokkaido that serves authentic meals to the public and that is where I went -- Abashiri.
Abashiri is in the very north of Hokkaido and is famous for its prison. Their "Bangaichi Shokudo Diner" is the only restaurant that serves authentic prison food in Japan, the ingredients the same as the penitentiary nearby. The meals will probably surprise you!
Prison Food Menu:
SET A: Pacific Saury, 2 salads, barley rice, miso soup (780 yen / $7.00)
SET B: Atka Mackerel, 2 salads, barley rice, miso soup (820 yen / $7.50)
It's called the "secret meal" because Japanese Prisons are very restrictive with access to the outside world. However, Abashiri is dfferent and they've opened up prison life to the public and it's worth a visit.
We also get a tour of today's prison cells in Japan. They have tatami mats, futons, TV, toilet and window. There are private cells and cells for 6 or more inmates. Japanese inmates typically eat their meals in their cells.
The Japanese prison life is regimented, the schedule the same everyday. Wake up at 6:40am and lights out at 9:00pm.
Meal time is three times a day for 20 minutes.
Where is Abashiri, Japan?
It's in Hokkaido's north, a 90 plane ride from Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

Not only do the meals look delicious, the prison cell also looks like a pretty cozy studio.
That's is rare in japanese prison. I think your getting confused with the american prison system.
With TV!
Lala Exactly!
Except I would much prefer a modern smart flat screen color TV rather than a grayscale CRT device that appears to date back to circa 1970 to 1985.
No windows to the outside is kinda creepy and sad though.
What is shown to the public and what actually is can be very different.
True
I met a guy who was imprisoned 2 weeks in japan. The way he described it is nowhere near this video
My pov exactly!!! Is it even true?!
Vigil ur in the wrong country
agreed false propaganda. People used to tell germans that ppl were just being "relocated" and videos shows a gym a cafe ect in the camps. I seriously doubt they're serving food that tastey
Their prison food is better than my daily meals
There meals are not like that it's way different
I see you everywhere
help I think I’m being monitored
The meal 100% doesnt represent prison food. If it was real normal visitor wouldnt eat that.
Probably less tasty
*Time to go be a criminal in Japan*
i will joy jou
Not really. Japanese prisons are clean and the food may be OK, but there is a reason why Amnesty and others are all over the "rest" of the system.
I hear the Yakuza are taking applications
Japanese prisons are extremely dehumanising. To name a few, you cannot talk or socialize, your cell is not heated/cooled and the lights are not turned off, you must do work, you must March, you must face the wall.
And if you are bad enough to be on death row, you are not notified of the date of execution, so you must spend everyday in dread.
So no, prison life, in any country, is not fun.
Ha Ha
my mate was in a japanese prison a year ago in solitary and he said he only got rice and a boiled egg for every meal every day. that place you went to, they playing ya~
That was in solitary. You do not want to try it in the U.S.
If your mate is in a Japanese prison then I've been to Mars and the food is yuck!
Exactly. Japanese prisons are run like labor camps. People believe whatever they see.
@@yaz2928 So you have been in one and know?
@@harrymcnicholas9468 I have watched several documentaries on the horrors of Japanese prisons so yes I'm quite aware of what goes on in them. Meanwhile gullible fools like you believe they know Japanese prisond based off a propaganda museum, how pathetic. Russia should do a Gulag museum too and fill it with luxurious foods like caviar and nice big beds with TVs, it'll fool the people like you who fall for anything they see.
Japanese prisons are a horror show. The only decent prisons in the world are in Scandinavia where you get decent hot food and TVs/PS3/books, etc.
Them: How was it being locked up in Japan?
Me: It was ...Abashitty.
That's funny coming from you. I read it in your voice. :)
LMFAO
Not funny
the prison looks better than my apartment...
Nicha Kiatkorsuk 7

Ohhh if you dont like ypur apartament come to my house i have 3 rooms and live alone
Prison looks better than my slutty girlfriend
It looks better than my mini mansion which is only 200 square feet.
Why do prisoners eat better food than I do?
True
Impressive Tree Damn you broke
Cuz they still human
Cause you're lazy. Their food isn't expensive. It just takes time to prepare it. Do it.
Harsh life
I've lived in Japan for 15 years and recently I've been arrested when I was renewing my driver license because I forgot to renew my residency card (my working visa), which lasts for 5 years and it was expired by 6 months... I know that's dumb to forget that, but it's not like I would have any reason to not renew it on purpose as I still had the same job. I went to a detention house（留置場）in Tsukishima (Tokyo bay area) for 2 days. It's not a prison（刑務所）so I expected it to be less harsh but after watching a few videos here about prisons in Japan I can tell it was actually worse.
I had an empty cell with nothing I can bring in and absolutely nothing to do except reading a book during the day (books they lend are taken away after 8pm). I couldn't even remove the clothes I was given and use it as a cushion to sleep cos it is considered suspicious (apparently) and had to sleep with the lights on and it's forbiden to hide his face from the light. No way to smoke (I'm quite a heavy smoker) so I just couldnt sleep at all (about 4 hours in the whole 2 days). They checked my whole body for anything I could hide, even my mouth. The food was really awful, the books they had were mostly in japanese but a few were in other languages, but pretty bad...
I speak fluently japanese so that wasn't an issue for me, but everything, all the rules were so harsh it looked as if I killed someone or tried to escape the prison previously, given the amount of security and precautions taken around me. There are 2 baths per week so I went once, and that's the only time I could meet other inmates who looked like yakuzas (they had a lot of tatoos). Having a TV or a smartphone, or my own books as I saw in the videos about prisons in Japan would have been a huge improvement. Here at the detention house I was almost in complete isolation in an empty room, no way to see outdoor. Once per day you can go out of the cell for 3min, just to do some exercise but you actually don't really have the time to do so. You go to a room which is half outside but you can't even see outdoor or the sky. You are not allowed to do anything and you are called by a number and never by your name.
It's odd that there was a reminder about the driving license renewal but none for the visa, considering the amount of punishment you get if you forget it... So again I know it's dumb to forget but still...
Now I'm still under conditional release and I'm not allowed to continue working until the procedure ends (that is until I get my visa). And it's been already one month...
PS: I've been back to work since January 2019, 3 months after the arrest and everything is fine now.
Thank you for sharing your story sir hope you can get back to work soon
Sounds more like it.
All the best.
頑張れー
All the best. Thank you for delivering the truth rather than these fucked up propagandas, leading us to believe how that prison cells are much better than most homes every middle class man stays in. Anyways I hope you find your job
thnk you for sharing ur experience ! I hope you get over it soon
When Japanese prison food is better than American school food
Some Random Weeb That's why most of public school kids in the U.S don't eat school food
Some Random Weeb back in the day we had awesome school lunches but now I’ve seen what they serve and I wouldn’t touch it with a stick
Some Random Weeb well I know they serve much better food in school now then in the 90's.At least at the school my mom works at.They actually make fresh food a little bland maybe but very healthy.
I don’t think American kids would eat this to begin with...
when japanese prison food is better than my daily food in germany ^^
would like to eat japanese food here but its expensive because there arent a lot selling it and its always import from japan :S
i hate my life in germany xD
Logan Paul would've eaten pretty well
Bob the builder Ok Lmaoo.
That's really true. I hope he goes back to Japan and gets locked up :)
Don't be fooled. Even salt looks like sugar.
Even cocaine looks like salt.
What a beautiful saying :D
Herlita Elisabeth they dont
multifandom trash cocaine actually looks nothing like salt :p
@@gabrielantos4144 how did you know?
seriously wtf though, the cell looks better than my dorm room in college.
Honestly and its BIGGER lmfao. My mom brother and sister helped me scrub my dorm clean when I first moved in. There were holes in the wall I couldn't see so by August I had giant cockroaches flying around my dorm and there were lice coming from the holes near the pipe under my sink lmao. in my DORM.
@@shhhh6174 I will rather die
The cells are so nice, they look like College dorms
Actually better than my dorm room
Max Power its alot better than my college dorm.. sigh
adhisty prastica
The toilet in that cell is just separated by thin wall. Your dorm are worse than that?
probably is
Aditya Wicaksono yes it is .. as pathetic as sound..
That prison cell would go for at least 2k per month in San Fran. The meal would go for about $30
i could say that for new york city as well or even inner tokyo! proximity to expensive things makes your land expensive among other things
and its safer too!
The prison life is better than a homeless life
But they don’t have a option
homeless in japan life a alright life
No joke, that is part of the reason repeat offenders continue the cycle going in and out of prison
poco f1 And most Japanese prefer homeless life than prison life which is much better... That's really amazing.
They have to work to stay in prison, you think your meal and accommodation is free??
this a prison... or a resort?
Lol
XD
Neither, it is a museum.
Research statements of what actual prisons in Japan are like.
being slowly worked to death by endless grueling hard labor? What kind of resorts do you go to!?
It's a prison resort
Friend of mine was just in jail in Tokyo(some stranger sent drugs to his hotel, random accidental mishap) for a month and he said it was umeboshi and chicken meatballs on rice every meal every day, the guards were super mean and beat people daily, they had 3-4 people per room on tatami, and only got one hour a week “outside” time to see the sky. Legally held him for a month trying to see if they could make a case through investigation and let him out upon realizing they sent the drugs to the wrong person, whoever sent them! Ha! He said it was absolutely horrible
Great now I have a new phobia
I wouldn't mind it's way better than American prisons lol also a good way to make some Yakuza connections.
@@rc59191 yeah I had another friend who did years at a spot right outside El Paso, in “Anthony New Mexico” and he said that they were served rotten and moldy food daily, and that there were so many cockroaches, that there would be hundreds if not thousands in your room and when lights went out you couldn’t touch the walls or they would crawl all over you!!! Had another friend stay there a couple years and confirmed that story for me as well!!
@@bowley4 that doesn't surprise me especially since we started making prisons a for profit business. Nobody cares about inmate living conditions even if they were in there for something bs like non violent drug offenses.
I was held in jail for 15 days and interrogated on a false accusation. I can confirm firm it’s terrible
The prison food in Japan looks better and is more nutritious than my school's food
Poor Isabella... Lemme give ya a Hug !
Btw, got great street food on my channel do check me out :)
If any school in America served the same meal every single day of the year to the children, you can be there would be a huge outcry. This meal is also mostly carbohydrate fillers with very little protein or green vegetables and no dairy - which makes it lacking in nutrition. If you think that's better for children, you are delusional.
No one is arguing that fish doesn't have nutritional benefits. I'm sure eating fish 3 times a day every day is making Japanese prisoner's brilliant though.
Isabella Wesley right!
Corvid76 4:29 didn’t you see this?Meals are different for breakfast lunch and dinner it also looks like each day has a different set of meals.
Their food is better than what I eat on a daily basis.
What I normally eat in a day: Chicken noodle soup, chicken nuggets, some weetbix, juice or water.
Don't worry. I think i'm okay. Apart from feeling dizzy most of the time I feel good. I wouldn't say i eat large amounts of it but just a normal amount.
my thoughts lol
Omg same . I eat instant noodles all day. Am I dying inside ? Yes. But I love instant food.
Well, you literally are a trash receptacle. Is that surprising to you?
To be honest,the cell is better and tidier than my room.
Why the mannequins all sound like Jersey mobsters though 😂😂😎
Carolyn Sloan haha! My friend Peter who did that said he was inspired by Buddy Hacket, a comedian.
Lmao!!!!
Sounds like one of those anime dubs
Carolyn Sloan Ha ha. You made me laugh honey.
Carolyn Sloan
I don't even eat three meals a day
with a labor that hard, you will
Mexxron Fidds medium is good
array s really creative I think what you mean is to do a crime and get 3 meals a day right?
😂😂😂😂😂
Pastel Pigicorn I stop eating 3 meal a day ever since I graduated from high school 6-7 years ago.
lmafao
This video is propaganda. Real prisoners in Japan are treated like slaves and forced to work. People are so gullible.
Well duh they commited crime so they need to work and introspect on their mistakes.
Who decided that?
Sai Sai lol
you have to work outside of jail too, or you are a criminal
Sorry but where is that infos you get from mr sir
they ate better than some poor seniors in a nursing home
barb towner most or all actually
barb towner well not nursing homes in Japan, watch a documentary and you will see how good they have it there, not neglected and living on a £ a day, this is real civilisation 😎😎😎
barb towner * Stop the stereotyping. Long term care facility food is great! Volunteer and make things better if you feel improvements are needed. Stop being a negative complainer.
I've worked in a nursing home and that food is better. But nursing home food isn't horrible.
A lot more interesting than i would have imagined. The food looks delicious I would be happy to even be able to pay for that meal near where i live.
Nosh Abroad i think its only good on camera. The real stuff is like dog food.
Ilsunny Lo honestly, if it was garbage, I would have said so. It was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. The Prison Food cut outs / graphics are from the actual prison down the road. It’s the same quality. I don't think it was decades ago.
Nosh Abroad......Hey Brother! ☺️ The whole time I was watching John eat Meal Set B, I was thinking “geez, I pay good money for that meal” at my local restaurant. That’s exactly what I order, and pay upwards of $15.00 for. Lol!
+Ilsunny Lo and how would you know?
@Angela Fortich hello
When the Japanese prison food tastes better and is healthier than American school food =/
Ww2
My school food is pretty decent i ain't gonna lie
My school has some nice breakfast ngl
Can’t say the same about the lunch though.
That’s is not a prison, that’s Five Star Hotel.
Nadir Yusuf 2 1/2 or just 1/2
Go spend a day there, I bet you won't survive it as well as you think.
Nadir Yusuf way better then a hotel breakfast
Nadir Yusuf 😂😂😂
You wanna se a five star Prison( all prisons) then come visit us in Denmark, lol.
Considering the hours they work it's wise to feed them well.
Sidean CG Working AND getting fed?! Dream come true!
Not like they're getting payed lol
Jawan Meizu well they are in prison. So getting feed well is a big deal.
Sidean CG Living a life where you have full control by yourself & no one tells you what to do except for family & the people you work with at your job. These meals look great to eat, but they have full control over your life.
Did you actually look at the work schedule? We work more hours a day in California.
Cost of Food in Japanese prisons $6.75 - $7.75
Cost of food in US prisons, $0.56 - $1.77
Incarceration Rate per 100,000 population:
Japan, 41
United States, 655
Clearly, the cost of food and food quality pales by comparison in the US.
good observation
well Japan doesn't have black people so ofc they aren't gonna have as many people in prison
Much Squeak true that, don't forget about some Hispanics and a handful of whites. Them Asians don't hurt nobody
@@muchsqueak9239 that is slightly racist.
I thought that guard in the beginning was real until it showed his face up close.... 🤦🏻♂️😂
Another excellent video John! Love your story telling.
Thank you Eric! Hope to catch up with you one of these days amigo!
GET SOME
The prison is more like a hotel 😂😂
A hotel for prisoners 😂
Except work for 8 hours total.
I wish I was in that prison this is better than new York highschool lunch food
Destiny duhh trust me u don't want to be in prison..
What do u get for lunch?
Destiny duhh you would also have to do 12 hrs of grunt work
Uupss
People complain about the food, but once they hit the real world, they start reminiscing about the food cause now they have to start paying for food. It was free for many people, but even if you had to pay, it was less expensive and probably healthier than stuff at the price range.
I wish i ate that good for sure! Fantastic video thanks for sharing. Stay awesome!
ramsessilent Like I said, he PAID for that. They’re going to make it tasty. I doubt it’s like that for prisoners. It’s probably something similar but downgraded.
ramsessilent I don't mind living in japan prison
Dramatic voice: "It can reach up to minus 10 degrees Celsius in the winter!"
Me (Canadian): "Bwahahahahaha!!!!!" 😂😂😂
CheshireKat - “Japan, 🇯🇵 Canada, 🇨🇦 cold countries... - bwahaha! Not as cold as Mother Russia!” 🇷🇺 (Dave Thomas SCTV) Remember that one?
If its -10 in your prison cell its not funny
You call it a hard life... I call it a steady job with three square meals.
This is what you call a good environment for rehabilitation. Americas could learn much from Japan
Elijah The Truth We once taught Japan something too!
U.S: Stop invading China or we'll nuke your ass.
Japan: Wait, what's "nuke"?
always someone salty like you lol
America is short on domestic manufacturing. With the numbers of prisoners just force them to work for their own electricity, luxury, and food. We'll save on tax dollars and bring up GDP.
However we don't live in the perfect world.
Lol. In japan they only put you in jail for like 3 years for killing your kid man. They have issues to
Elijah The Truth people that are full of them self's never learn, because they think what they do is perfect, and if it isn't they ignore it 😕😕😕
Me in Japan: “you are sentenced to 2 years”
Me: okay, thank you, your honor 🙏🏼
I learn something about Japan every time you do one of these videos. Don’t stop, I hope you find a way to keep doing them and solving your problem of increasing views. Wishing you all the best John. I loved it in Japan when I was there in 1973-1974, would love to be there now. That is why I love your work, you bring me back and show me the newer Japan than when I was there. Hang in there John.
Welp, I'm going to jail now.
Tv. Private toilet area, Nice bed, electric, clean room, awesome food... That's punishment? Lot of people in America don't live that well.
Well. The strict lifestyle and the lack of other freedoms might be enough of a deterrent. They say that crime rates are low in Japan for a reason I think. Then again, other sources say there is some sort of vast corruption going on?
My country (Germany) specifically warns all travelers to Japan about the harsh conditions in Japanese prisons.
I don't think people here are realizing how inhumane the prison system is in Japan. Not in terms of amenities/food obviously, but do some research into the typical day of a prisoner in Japan. Your entire day consists more or less of being forced to kneel/sit/stand silently in a room facing a wall for hours and hours not being allowed any interaction. You're looked down on as less than human with 0 emphasis or even effort for rehabilitation (yes, I know the US prison system isn't great either) and have more or less no freedom.
end up in thailands prison lol
I've read about Japanese prison in a novel. The shared cell actually matches the description. Also long time inmates had some monthly gatherings with a bit better food. According to the novel, the food served were bland but usually well balanced. The solitary confinement situation were a lot worse.
And for high school lunch I get three half cooked chicken tenders and cold french fries.
Chenny Boy don’t forget the expired milk! Part of a nutritious diet!
Okay these prisoners are living better than me
This makes me sick, who fact checks content on TH-cam anyway? I got proof man, I was in Kurihama kimushiyo(prison) in yokosuka prefecture and they are lying, this atrocious, they commit human rights violations behind prison walls there and silence anyone who dares try to speak up. All my letters to USA embassy and California state congressmen were all monitored and never sent out in the mail. The day I was released from prison, the warden gave them all back to me. 29 to be infact!
How did u get arrested
@ciga daze bad bait
Lmao the audacity you have to complain. You did something wrong and you were rightfully jailed. No once cares what they did to you inside.
lmfao, most of the people in this replies are people who think light yagami was doing the world a favor
@ciga daze u don’t even know why he was in jail which doesn’t even matter. The point of the matter prisons in Japan aren’t some luxury hotel like this dude says.
Why am I watching this in the middle of the night? Makes me hungry.
Eating better than America’s middle class.........
Fierag So true!!!!!!!!
Fierag so true
What middle class?
Gavin Macpherson-Smith pls stfu
Gavin Macpherson-Smith you’re so clueless you completely missed the point 🤣
Okay the dubbed in voices while the mannequins were eating was hilarious. "better than my wife's cooking."
damn...makes you wanna go to Japanese prison for jay walking
is it sad I'd feel a lot safer, eat a lot better and be a more productive human being in prison in Japan than being free where I live? LOL!

You gotta do the crime too
Conor Mcgregor Raped Khabib racist crap
Save yourself some money just fly to Japan and commit a level I felony
No thank you.
The food may be good in a Japanese prison, but I know in some Norwegian prisons life is actually pretty good. I'd imagine they'd be fed quite good as well.
Syrup_Johnson Norwegian prison life is like going to 3 star hotel with taxpayers paying it for free, and it all depends how "bad" your crime is tbh
I realized that this prison is the same from golden kamuy
yes!! i'm only here for the GK reference! it's chilling to actually see it being explored!
A good chunk of inmates will be from Yakuza families/gangs so there will be generous anonymous donations to the rehabilitation of said prisoners with food and amenities.
A prison with a TV WOW
pi on you can get tv in most prisons
You can buy one in American prisons. They're made with clear plastic. If you see clear plastic electronics on EBay, they were probably made for prisons.
In poland u have to bring your own tv heheheh
It's a black and white TV - which is very annoying to inmates - I was told. They take away pleasures and give you enough at a low level to mentally slam you. Think about it - if you had internet but it was dial up 14.4k modems from 1995. Netflix would stop every 3 seconds to load for an hour! That's kind of the idea, I was told.
I only got 2 channels, but regardless isn't it neat😀
This is the prison from Golden Kamuy!
The manga artist did a great job of drawing the prison, I feel like I already know this place. Shiratori was an actual escape artist from the past!
Omg! Golden kamuy fan here! Haha 😂😂
I watched this video well before reading Golden Kamuy, I've come back after reading the Abashiri prison arc with a greater appreciation for the video.
I wouldn't be so quick to label Japanese Prison food as really good. First off, what you had was cooked to order and served hot. In actuality it would have been prepared well before serving time and in big batches for several hundred inmates. There wouldn't have been time to cook that fish, or any of the other dishes, to perfection like the restaurant did. Also the food would sit until it was passed out, and that would affect the taste. Good ingredients is one thing, but poor preparation, which was probably the case in prison, would make the good ingredients not as tasty as you think..
9OldBuzzard9 it's pretty good for what it is. it's prison not heaven.
What I'm saying is that what you ate, while the same basic ingredients, was not prepared and served in the same way in prison. That makes a huge difference in the palpability of the meal. Have I been in prison in Japan? No. However, I was raised in a children's home, and I'm familiar with 'institutional food'. The home was ran by the State of Ohio, and the food that was purchased was a very good quality. However, when cooking for 500 kids, and then holding it to be served when all of us were in the dining room led to a decrease in the taste. Cold mashed potatoes, greasy, cold fried eggs, etc. However, there were actually some dishes that were better when they were cooked in large quantities. Chili, vegetable soup, and other things like that were much better than home cooked version of the same recipe.
That’s exactly how my old high school prepared lunch. Except it was reheated frozen foods with unknown ingredients . Of course it wouldn’t be restaurant quality, but it’s better and healthier than what I would get in school.
in japan, the selected prisons have their own kitchen and the prisoners cooks their meal as a part of program. they serve food warm, if it is not hot. we japanese, even criminals know how to be remourseful we won't demand much.
That was not real prison show a real one
the private prison looks better than my room ..
Food Nepal Why you dont live in Kathmanduuuuu?? Some of the houses there are good.
Food Nepal from nepal 😘😘
Nistha Thapa Are you good looking?
Food Nepal the toilet is so close to the bed
Man these types of comments are extremely common here 🤔
I am Japanese, And I went to school For and year, and trust me Japanese school lunch tastes amazing!But I didn't know that prison food is healthy and good in Japan!
oo and I love fish and the fish looked so yummy :)
Japan is the only country I wouldn’t mind serving a few nights of Jail in.
Tyriek isn't Japan known for their horrible human right violations in jail?
Yea japanese prison is hard labour and staring at a wall for hours on end.
Tundra Tress hahahahahaha don't ever get stuck in prison in the caribbean this is honestly fine
Japan's prisons are very tough for foreigners not used to their ordered culture, it's ridiculously strict. As he says in the video, good food doesn't mean the it's cushy.
Fishfingers232 yeah I agreed, its all bullshit. It’s not all it seem. It’s played down to for the media.
I'm guessing there was a big difference between the quality of ingredients and preparation between what he ate and what the prisoners ate.
I love how the prisoners have new York accents I don't know whats about it but I laugh every time I watch this video
"It's good more than my wife cooking"
Haha that's funny
Very interesting how the culture of a society is reflected in the way it punishes criminals. Next episode looks really interesting too!
John's love for Japanese food is apparent.
Оmg.. Prisoners Eat better food than me😨
Zero Cool High quality food is extremely expensive in this country you know that!!!
yoruel sanguillen I spend 23.56 every week and I make healthy casseroles that last me the week. I make an egg casserole for breakfast that has eggs,hashbrowns, ham, and green onions with cheese baked on top it serves about 15 portions. for lunch I make a sandwich. I’ll switch between a tuna melt and roast beef. For dinner I make a casserole, enchiladas, or ill make twice baked potatoes filled with what I want all of these keep and will last you a week. Its really not that hard.
Violeta V

"...the schedule is very strict allowing only 20 minutes for you to eat your meals"
Me over here trying to hork down a sandwich in under 15 minutes.
Those prisoners probably ate better than I ever will!
We've been waiting for this! Thanks, John!
But looks like 23 prisoners disliked this...
Yoshie Shiratori : ight, imma head out
hi, John you are amazing, my daughter and I enjoyed your videos every night before bed time. We always looked out for your new videos. thank you
Hi John! From IG to here, I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to vlog and share my experience here in JP. Just went to Kusatsu! We’ll support you all throughout! 😊
I'll watch your vlogs ^_^
Jordi El Niño Polla• hey! thank you! this our vlog channel Jami & Nina Hakken. Truly appreciate it! ☺️
This video is incredibly ill informed and distasteful. Yikes.

What is the reality?
Real Japanese prisons are just the same as prisons from other countries. This is just propaganda.
@Craig Laycox This is a museum. Theyre not going to give prison food to people. Japanese prisons are just like every other prison, this is pure propaganda to make Japanese law system seem humane, when in reality is it very flawed and harsh just like the US. The meal is an upgraded version of prison food, usually prisoners just get rice and tea, in order to keep them borderline healthy enough to perform labor. Their cells also are mostly empty.
@Craig Laycox he's telling the truth if you look up Japanese prison documentary you'll see that he's telling the truth look it up right now I dare you
Man, it's 10 times better than my old school's lunch..
Japanese prisson is more comfortable than my rooms. 😁
"Treacherous winters. Average of minus 10" laughs in Canadian
WoW better than the states
Bish that looks like a freaking descent meal all I eat everyday is junk food smh🙂💔
Bet someone will recognize it. Its on Golden Kamuy S2
Nopperabo is in the Chapel!
in tokyo, most citzens live in small shared spaces.
guess they should go prison for more better facilities and sufficient room space.
Logan Paul should be eating this
Sky MAC you look like a 6 yr old
True
Sky MAC you never saw a woman naked
In America, children get less time to eat than inmates!?
It was a very interesting to see how those prisoners lived & I was surprised to see the prison food looked pretty good !
Something that I would love to eat everyday! Thought you don’t want to escape during the winter 🤧
Thank you for the great video John !
Hmmm... I’ve actually watched documentaries and programmes interviewing ex Japanese prisoners on Japanese TV and what they had to say about the food and the prison system is very much different from what’s portrayed here. Not saying what they said is all true either but I have to take this video with a pinch of salt and can’t help thinking this must be a “heavily edited” version of a prison museum by the Japanese government.
So who wants to go break laws with me in japan
You're on your own bud
you go first.
I love your channel man. I love the fact that all of these things in Japanese prisons the way they eat from the way they sleep was pretty cool to learn about if you could do more videos about foreign countries prison systems I would love to see it your friend and fan Brian
Japanese prison food actually healthier than most of American fast food.
You don't need to write "fast".
That's not exactly hard to do
If that isn`t propaganda, kudos to them for actually serving a healthy diet to their inmates^^
WHY NOT EAT THE FISH TAIL!?!? Left us hanging, Jon.
its poisonous
A S that fish specifically? I've been eating fried fish tails my whole life.
Rob So u a ghost then
Rob also badass beard
Ivan Pavlovic lol. Thanks. I was really wondering why you couldn't eat that fish's tail, it has always been my favorite part of fried fish, Like a crunchy little fish chip to finish off your meal. I've even seen street vendors that sell baskets of fried tails. Maybe Jon will answer eventually.
-10 degrees Celsius is not treacherous. Calm down.
Ezx123 right? We call that springtime in Canada. It was -50 in December.
when you're wearing pretty much nothing, it feels like -40C
I’m from Australia that’s like unbearablely cold
we jusg got our first freeze the last night, whit light snow fall ( nothing on the ground )
-10 C can be bad if the wind is blowing.
Love all the different voices!!! They’re hilarious 😂

My brother live in a room about the same size as this.... WE BROKE :(
Wouldnt mind being incarcerated there, food looks awesome😬. Ive eaten saury fish before, yum yum😊
Sp Mj idk Japanese prisons are pretty rough.
food is good, however you have hard labour everyday for the whole day good food just makes it livable
Not hard. Japan is notorious for just convicting some for the sake of convicting them. Not because they are guilty
Yoshie shiratori escaped this man even tho it was freezing cold-
I can never say no to sanma, hokke, or katsuo. They're just downright delicious. Well, just about any fish from Japan is delicious.
