I was there ...

I think it was torn down but I'm not sure. I was a "guest" there for 2.5 years back in the 70's. Boy what memories...

So was I...

That prison has been used since before WWII...so chances are good nothing has changed...as a Navy Corpsman from Yokosuka Naval Hospital, in the early 70's, I spent nearly two years there for a traffic accident. Time just crawled by, pretty tough for a kid in his early 20's

So was I from 68 to 70. American servicemen were incarcerated at this prison, often for alleged crimes which most would never have been charged for in the USA. An accusation by a Japanese citizen defaults to an indictment by the Japanese prosecutor, The indictment usually defaults to a conviction . The American military for the most part, simply enables this to happen. Trials can last a year or more while you sit in a military brig or elsewhere confined.

Most of the American prisoners were young men who simply made a mistake after a night of drinking. Fail to pay a prostitute? get charged with rape? pay a large amount in reparations before you even go to trial. Get into a fight with a Japanese citizen, get accused of robbery and pay reparations. Don't have money to pay a cab driver, get charged with robbery.

If you don't "confess" what you are accused of, spend a lot more time in Otsu Prison.

One of the 3 sitting, elderly judges in my marathon trials, often fell asleep during deliberations which were always in the Japanese language.
