Spending a weekend in jail is probably not at the top of most people\u2019s list, but if you\u2019ve had a passing thought about what a Japanese prison is like, then just like everything else in JapanLand, there\u2019s a festival for it. Called Correctional Exhibitions (\u77ef\u6b63\u5c55)<\/q>, they give a chance for the public to understand about life in prison and also sell the goods the prisoners themselves make. Indeed, the life of one interred in one of Japan\u2019s jails is highly regimented and monitored, and there\u2019s very little idle time. The correctional facilities themselves don\u2019t exactly scream Super Max<\/q> as they would elsewhere; For example, the grounds of the Tokyo Detention House are more pristine than Ueno and Yoyogi Parks.<\/p>\n

\"\"This year\u2019s theme, Moving towards a brighter society<\/q> is intended to focus on how the National Correctional System focuses on finding methods to rehabilitate and improve the lives of imprisoned inmates. The focus will be how the prison system has created a large trade school within every detention center that trains the interred to learn new skills and develop new things to help give them something to be proud of and ease them back into the social fabric upon their release.<\/p>\n

The products the prisoners make, like tote bags, shoes, tables, and even barbecue pits, or soap, will all be on exhibition and sale as well. The products are all of high quality, and some can be seen on Capic\u2019s Instagram page<\/a>. Capic is the brand name for the National Correctional System\u2019s industry and sales division and stands for Correctional Association Prison Industry Cooperation<\/em>. There\u2019s even a shopping website<\/a> in case Amazon isn\u2019t quite doing it for you.<\/p>\n

Also note, you won\u2019t have access to actual prison facilities even if you\u2019re on the fringe areas of the grounds themselves\u2026 But if you insist on seeing inside a real working jailhouse in Japan, I\u2019m sure the police would be willing to show you in detail over several years<\/em> if you try hard enough. Trust us, that\u2019s a tourist destination best taken out your bucket list.<\/p>\n
