Pop Japan

With Japan’s astoundingly low crime rate, aren't you curious what exactly happens in prisons in Japan?

The Abashiri Prison Museum located in Hokkaido gives a glimpse of the everyday life in prison. The tour of the Japanese prison life showed the inmates’ cells and set schedules. Like its amazing school lunches, Japan manages to set itself apart from other countries with its nutritious prison food. The Bangaichi Shokudo Diner lets visitors experience eating authentic prison food. The meals served to the inmates are healthy, unlike several prisons around the world. 

The museum is open to the public, a sneak peek to the Japanese prison life and a reminder of the difference in the treatment of convicts in other countries.
