Experiences with Japan’s judicial system (read before you travel)A lot of gaijin end up in Japan’s draconian judicial system, so this thread exists to collect and share real experiences.Under Japanese law, suspects can be detained for up to 23 days before indictment. During this period:Bail is not allowedInterrogations are conducted without a lawyer presentSuspects are subjected to long, repeated questioningThe right to remain silent is routinely ignored or pressured awayJapan’s pretrial detention system is widely criticized for abuse. Authorities often rely on coerced confessions, repeated rearrests to reset detention limits, and constant surveillance inside police detention cells (daiyo kangoku).Once charged, you are basically finished:Over 99% of criminal trials end in convictionProsecutors rarely bring cases they are not certain to winForeigners are especially vulnerable due to language barriers and lack of local supportMost convicted foreigners end up serving time in Fuchu Prison, one of Japan’s main facilities for inmates, including gaijin.Video tour of Fuchu Prison: https://youtu.be/FLeM1BH1fNA?si=TcYqNcW2koBFgU35Post your experiences, warnings, or anything travelers should know.
