00:00NAGANO
00:09Nagano, in the heart of the Japanese mountains.
00:12After months of negotiations, we have been given permission to film inside the prison.
00:21Hello.
00:30The prison houses 900 inmates, all men, ranging from common offenders to murderers.
00:47The management has established some terms.
00:50We are not allowed to film the doors or question the guards in front of the inmates.
00:55And above all, we are not allowed to address the prisoners.
00:59At the end of filming, only two of them will be able to answer our questions, in the presence of the guards.
01:06Over the course of two days, we will discover the Japanese prison world.
01:11From a Western perspective, it is a disciplinary hell.
01:29Inside, we are struck by the silence, by the impeccable order.
01:41Even the sandals are lined up in front of the cells.
01:44In the morning, the prisoners are woken up by the guards' shouts, but also by classical music.
01:59In some cells, six men.
02:17Six men.
02:28Others are individual cells, reserved for the best behaved prisoners.
02:33Here, there is no prison overcrowding like in European countries.
02:38And no unsanitary conditions either.
02:41The building is modern and perfectly clean.
02:44But the prisoners' lives are regulated precisely to the millimetre.
02:48Every move is timed.
02:50They have exactly one hour to eat breakfast, brush their teeth and shave.
03:12Everyone at the same time.
03:14And then the entire cell has to be cleaned thoroughly.
03:36Everything has to be put in exactly the right place.
03:39The guards check that everything is in order.
03:44The vault is in order.
03:46The vault will be fired from the same way.
03:48This is a whole plan that is in order.
03:49The vault plan is maximum.
03:51It is all in order.
03:52There is a place where the vaults are starting.
03:55The vault is already changing.
03:56The alles is changing.
03:58The place is also changing.
04:00The place is also changing.
04:01The plate has also changing.
04:03So this place has shown the required place.
04:05The attic is a place.
04:07It is being shown in order to be combined.
04:09The prisoners break a rule.
04:11They receive a warning.
04:12They receive a warning. If they persist, they are punished.
04:42In the Japanese way, they say that, or like this, it's a very ugly laugh.
04:50The punishment can last between one and sixty days, in solitary confinement, with no activities, no television, no reading.
05:00For the prison staff, this is not bullying. It's just a Japanese view of order, where everything is organised according to the group, not the individual.
05:10A world apart, it is this prison regime that Carlos Ghosn would have faced if convicted, and that he wanted to escape at all costs.
05:23How does such a particular judicial system work? Though simply strict in the eyes of the Japanese, to foreigners who were arrested, it may seem inhumane.
05:34On the other hand, I was a police officer. There were two who held me on the other hand. I also had a cord around the table.
05:43Investigations often rely on confessions, which can lead to miscarriages of justice.
05:49This love of order is rooted in the country's culture, where discipline and rules are paramount.
05:50This love of order is rooted in the country's culture, where discipline and rules are paramount.
06:02And nobody ever talks in the Texas, like, do you hear that sound when people are talking?
06:03No, you don't, because they're not talking.
06:04Standards, reinforced by the people, are reinforced by the people.
06:05who go as far as celebrating their prison system.
06:10This love of order is rooted in the country's culture, where discipline and rules are paramount.
06:17And nobody ever talks in the Texas, like, do you hear that sound when people are talking?
06:22No, you don't, because they're not talking.
06:27Standards, reinforced by the people, who go as far as celebrating their prison system.
06:34Why would you create a fear stay in a prison? It's a prison.
06:48Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
06:51The number of prisoners is proportionally four times lower than in France.
06:56Today, the prisons are emptying out, and the prison population is aging.
07:01This system is sometimes incomprehensible to Westerners.
07:07But the Japanese did not tolerate Carlos Ghosn's refusal to abide by it.
07:12This is an investigation into the heart of a machine that, though effective, can break lives.
07:22On the 8th of January, the eyes of the world are turned to the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
07:28After 14 months in prison, and then under house arrest, Carlos Ghosn is about to give a press conference
07:35following his impressive escape from Japan.
07:38There's a lot of excitement.
07:41All the media are invited, except the Japanese, who stay at the door.
07:47How'd you see it?
07:48After 14 months in prison, I was given a chance to ask a question.
07:52He was going to be in a foreign country.
07:53I was from Tokyo.
07:54I was going to go to the last one in the morning, and I was going to ask him some questions.
07:57I was asked to ask him some questions.
07:59I was given a question to ask him to go abroad.
08:02that was one of the rules.
08:04And he also defeated that.
08:06And when he came to the court,
08:08he agreed that he had no crime to prove it.
08:12In Japan.
08:14And he also defeated that.
08:16So, it's a very unfortunate feeling.
08:23Inside the press union,
08:25Carlos Ghosn makes his entrance under flashes.
08:28He's the boss and he wants to show it.
08:31And he organizes the order of questions himself.
08:46Today, he intends to tell the truth.
08:49In November 2018, he was arrested in Tokyo
08:52for concealing income and embezzlement.
08:55We're talking in the tens of millions of euros.
08:58Carlos Ghosn answers point by point.
09:01But his favorite defense is to attack
09:03the Japanese justice system.
09:08I did not escape justice.
09:11I fled injustice and persecution.
09:16Political persecution.
09:18Having endured more than 400 days of inhumane treatment
09:21in a system designed to break me and unwilling to provide me
09:24even minimal justice.
09:26I was left with no other choice
09:28but to protect myself and my family.
09:32In the front row, his wife, Carol, is loving it.
09:35She too attacks the country that locked him up.
09:38Is it better to say his truth in a real court
09:41rather than in a press conference?
09:44I hope he will be judged.
09:46We are going to close the door first.
09:48We are now closing the door.
09:50We have no chance.
09:52A few days later, we traveled 10,000 kilometers to Japan,
10:00the land of Mount Fuji.
10:02At the Ministry of Justice in Tokyo,
10:04another press conference is held,
10:06much more confidential.
10:08There are a few cameras and a lot of computers,
10:12but no foreign TV.
10:14The minister of this democratic country makes no secret of her anger
10:19towards the world's most notorious fugitive.
10:26The minister of this democratic country makes no secret of her anger
10:31towards the world's most notorious fugitive.
10:33We have no truth in it.
10:44The presidential election is the wrong way.
10:46My government's authority which drinks these people's rights
10:51and makes it acceptable to my government.
10:56One man's word against another's.
10:59Japan defends its system, which is certainly severe, but which bears fruit.
11:04Its goal? Zero crime and zero tolerance.
11:08Order and discipline.
11:19We'll discover this when we go back to the Nagano prison.
11:28The prisoners' day is planned down to the minute.
11:43At 7.50 a.m., the inmates leave for work.
11:51Shaved heads, in uniform, they march in step.
11:58To be continued...
12:02To be continued...
12:05To be continued...
12:07But the prisoners are not trying to take their conduct.
12:09So...
12:13To be continued...
12:17Then, they have to give their numbers.
12:20Who?
12:21Who?
12:22Who?
12:23Who?
12:24Who?
12:25Who?
12:26Who?
12:27Who?
12:28Who?
12:29Who?
12:30Who?
12:31Work is compulsory for everyone, but unpaid.
12:35It is an integral part of a prisoner's sentence.
12:38My life goal is to take care of the patient's life.
12:55Before starting work, they do a workout for three minutes.
13:00The entire life in the prison is organised around several factories of 50 inmates each.
13:30Cushions and shoes are made there to go on to be sold.
13:39Prisoners will receive a small allowance on their release.
13:43According to the management, work is necessary for rehabilitation.
13:48We can learn through the work of working, and also, we can learn through the work of working.
14:00We can learn through the work of working.
14:01We can learn through this work.
14:03This work is not necessary.
14:07and it is not necessary to make sure.
14:16Prisoners are not allowed to talk to each other during working hours.
14:20Again, this would be an inconceivable rule elsewhere.
14:24In order to be allowed to say a few words to each other,
14:27they must ask permission by raising their hands.
14:37At mealtime, the guard carefully checks the portions.
14:56They must be exactly the same.
15:07Except for the rice, where the amount depends on the activity carried out.
15:15Right after lunch, the inmates are given a short break.
15:19They can read the newspaper or cut their nails.
15:22They can even talk.
15:24Then comes the best part of their day, leisure time.
15:28Prisoners have time reserved for entertainment every day except weekends.
15:33Again, they go there marching in step.
15:36The guard walks backwards to keep a close eye on the line.
15:41No, no, no!
15:45No, no, no, no!
15:50Down here, down here, down here.
16:03Down here, down here, down here.
16:12Inmates have precisely 40 minutes to relax.
16:16But first they have to warm up, just like at work.
16:24Then they hurry to make the most of it.
16:29They can play ping pong.
16:38Or board games.
16:43There is even a little TV for karaoke.
16:46The break is soon over.
16:58It's time to go back to work, which lasts eight hours a day.
17:01It's time for us to interview a prisoner.
17:17A 27-year-old man is brought to us.
17:21The interview takes place in an office, in the presence of two wardens.
17:24He was sentenced to three years in prison for theft.
17:29He has a year and a half to go.
17:32Despite the presence of the guards, he dares to speak out.
17:36What's the matter?
17:37How are you going to talk about it?
17:39How do you talk about it?
17:42I don't know.
17:43I don't know.
17:45I think it's a hard part of it.
17:47I think that I'm not sure if I talk about it.
17:52I think I'm not sure if I'm talking about it.
17:57I think I'm not sure if I'm not sure if I'm talking about it.
18:05I think I'm a soldier, a soldier.
18:11In the evening, inmates are encouraged to study.
18:31At 7 p.m. sharp, the TV turns on.
18:41They can watch it until 9 p.m., then lights out.
18:51The Japanese have been used to discipline since childhood.
18:55But for foreign inmates, it's hard to take.
18:58Another Frenchman has a traumatic experience in the Japanese prison system.
19:13He has inside experience of the way inmates are treated.
19:18Mark Karpeles is 35 years old.
19:22He has a mild form of Asperger's syndrome.
19:26He's also a computer genius.
19:28He was locked up for 11 months.
19:31But he decided to stay in Japan after his release.
19:34A good meal, a pleasure he forgot while he was incarcerated.
19:53I lost 35 kilos from the commissariat.
19:56And I took 5 kilos from the detention center.
19:59I was completely unknown when I was out of the commissariat.
20:02The hardest thing is to wait, to be alone, to have nothing to do.
20:06And to not be able to do anything.
20:08To be in a cellule of 6 m2.
20:11To be seated, waiting, and waiting.
20:15The hardest thing is not only to have nothing to do,
20:17but also to not know when it will end.
20:19When will it end?
20:26His case is a huge scandal in Japan.
20:29It starts in 2014.
20:32Mark Karpeles made his fortune in Bitcoin, cryptocurrency.
20:37But when his company goes bankrupt,
20:40he has to apologize publicly to an audience of journalists.
20:49As soon as he has discovered that millions of euros have disappeared,
20:55and he is accused of stealing the money,
20:58the nightmare begins.
20:59It's the 1st of April, 6h41.
21:01It's the time when the police are out of the middle.
21:03It's very difficult.
21:05It's the time when the police are out of the middle.
21:08It's the time when the police are out of the middle,
21:11with me.
21:13It's very difficult.
21:15One of them, I was surrounded by the police.
21:16Two of them, they kept me from each other.
21:18I also had a cord around the tail,
21:19which was connected to the police behind me.
21:20I was arrested and I had a mask on my head.
21:22In the Japanese tradition,
21:23we didn't get the cord off, he hid the view.
21:25I was arrested and I was arrested.
21:27They were arrested and they were fired.
21:29They were arrested, and they were fired.
21:30They were arrested and they were fired.
21:32They were arrested.
21:33They were arrested and they were fired.
21:35They were arrested.
21:37Mark Karpeles spends 4 months in custody.
21:41Then he is transferred to Kosagye prison,
21:44where Carlos Gohn was locked up.
21:46To prove that the prisoners were being treated well,
21:48Being treated well, the authorities opened their doors to journalists last year.
21:53There too, everything is clean and tidy.
21:56But according to Mark Karpoulos, it's not the decode that drives you crazy.
22:01It's the rules.
22:02In Kosage, the prisoners are awaiting trial.
22:05They don't work and they're in solitary confinement.
22:18The Japanese, it's like this.
22:22So we have our table here.
22:25And of course, we can do it like this.
22:29We don't have the right to talk,
22:31we don't have the right to do anything,
22:33we don't have the right to do anything,
22:35we don't have the right to do anything,
22:37we don't have the right to stay there,
22:40we can read or write.
22:42There was a moment, I put the plomb,
22:44I gave a point to the door.
22:46The guards arrived in a dozen, a dozen guards,
22:49and I found them,
22:50and they were transported in the cellules.
22:53They have a special cell for these cases.
22:58It's an empty padded cell,
23:00where he spends four hours tied up.
23:03Then he is punished for four days.
23:05No more books or writing materials.
23:08Finally, after nearly a year behind bars,
23:11he is tried,
23:13declared innocent of embezzlement,
23:15and released.
23:18But he is given a suspended sentence
23:20on another minor charge.
23:22Officially, he remains a guilty man.
23:25These conditions of detention do not seem to bother the Japanese.
23:40On the contrary, the prison administration is proud of its prisons.
23:46It even promotes the most severe of them,
23:49the famous Kosuge prison.
23:51With its impressive X-shaped architecture,
23:54the building is colossal.
23:56It's the last place you'd think of going for fun.
23:59And yet, once a year, the authorities organize a huge festival there.
24:18In the public space surrounding it, there are 10,000 people celebrating,
24:25just a few meters from the cells.
24:28On stage, a Japanese pop star.
24:31All day long, one show follows another.
24:41Then, visitors head to the stands set up for the occasion.
24:46Here, people can have their picture taken with a prison guard's cap.
24:49That's cool.
24:50Oh, that's cool.
24:51That's cool.
24:52That's cool.
24:53Yeah, I'm going to do this.
24:54Look at this.
24:55Look at this.
24:56Look at this.
24:57Look at this.
24:58Look at this.
24:59I wanted to wear a cosplay character.
25:02I'm wearing a cosplay.
25:03It's so great to wear a cosplay.
25:05I'm wearing a cosplay.
25:06I'm wearing a cosplay.
25:07You can't get a逮捕, but you can get a seat.
25:09This is good.
25:10This is good.
25:11When I was being arrested.
25:13This is good.
25:14This is good.
25:15Yay!
25:16I love the police!
25:17I love the police!
25:24On stage, law enforcement officers are showing how effectively they stop the bad guys.
25:35But the highlight of the festival is when visitors taste the dish typically served to Japanese prisoners.
25:42Curry and rice.
25:45People have to wait an hour to receive their tray.
25:49But for three euros, it's worth it.
25:52It's good.
25:53It's good.
25:54It's good.
25:55It's good.
25:56It's good.
25:57It's good.
25:58It's good.
25:59It's good.
26:00It's good.
26:01The visitors are in no doubt that prisoners are treated well.
26:04I don't think that if you're in the village, it's good.
26:09You can eat dinner, right?
26:10OK?
26:11Yeah.
26:12Well fed prisoners, efficient police officers and friendly guards.
26:16If you don't smoke, you don't smoke.
26:20Do you live with people?
26:22Yes.
26:23You can see the TV.
26:46In Japan, in divorce cases, foreign parents are systematically deprived of their children.
26:54Why would you create a fiesta in a prison?
26:57It's a prison.
26:58What kind of brainwashing is actually happening in here is just mind-boggling.
27:03You see around, you know, little children, they're enjoying the day out.
27:07It's like a park.
27:09Does it look like a park?
27:11So, any kind of human rights violations is happening right there.
27:18He's not fooled.
27:20He knows this prison.
27:28No, it's way, way better.
27:31It's almost restaurant-grade curry.
27:36And believe me, in there, they do not give you this kind of curry.
27:44The public are not here to worry about the fate of the prisoners.
27:49At the following stands, products made from prisoners from all over Japan are sold.
27:54Leather goods, furniture, and in particular, comfortable and slightly retro shoes.
28:00Again, Thomas can't believe it.
28:14to believe it.
28:38He says he's never seen any of that money.
28:41No matter how outraged Thomas is, the party goes on.
28:46A concert by female students in suits.
28:49Free candy floss for the children.
28:53Yay!
28:55The prison system is not about to change.
29:00But there is another aspect of the treatment of detainees
29:03that is criticised by lawyers and many NGOs,
29:07the policy of confessions.
29:09In Japan, it is called hostage justice.
29:12If the accused deny the accusation,
29:14their custody can be extended indefinitely.
29:18They are questioned intensely until they confess.
29:24This is what happened to businessman Carlos Ghosn.
29:27He was arrested on the 19th of November 2018,
29:30just after landing at Tokyo airport.
29:33In this footage, which has travelled around the world,
29:36a team of prosecutors are conducting a search of his private jet.
29:40Out of sight.
29:43Carlos Ghosn does not reappear until two months later,
29:47during a court appearance for a bail application.
29:50Television cameras are not allowed to film it.
29:53The stern-looking president denies his request.
29:57After 108 days of detention, he is finally released for the first time.
30:02Here he is coming out of prison, hidden under a mask,
30:06disguised as a worker on the advice of his lawyer to fool journalists.
30:10It is an attempt that deceives no-one.
30:16The press follows him.
30:17As he plans to hold a major press conference on the 11th of April 2019,
30:23he learns that he will be arrested again on new charges.
30:27This is the method of prosecutors.
30:30Split up the charges to allow the period of custody to be extended.
30:35Sometimes for months.
30:38So Carlos Ghosn records a video.
30:41The first message is I'm innocent.
30:43I spent 108 days in prison,
30:48because I've been always consistent with this position,
30:51that I was innocent of all the charges.
30:53The next day it's back to prison for another 22 days.
30:59A system of going back and forth in detention,
31:01with the sole purpose of breaking the accused.
31:15This obsession with confessions can destroy lives.
31:19This is the story of Keiko Aoki.
31:23Every week she comes to put flowers where she lost a child in a house fire.
31:28Keiko managed to save her son from the fire,
31:31but not her daughter, who was 11 years old.
31:33Keiko Aoki was born from the air.
31:36Keiko Aoki's father's father of the house fire,
31:39which was brought to her husband's house fire.
31:41Black flowers were always tree- oats,
31:42and this was returned to the house fire.
31:44It was so hard to finish our son-in-law's house fire.
31:45The father of the grandfather- työstered by the mother-in-law.
31:47When it was in the house fire,
31:48the mother-in-law was very difficult.
31:50It was really difficult to get the disaster made by the mother-in-law.
31:52After that, it was a long time for 20 years.
31:57Then, I felt like I was here to meet my daughter.
32:04Keiko spent 21 years in prison.
32:07She came out at the age of 51.
32:10Along with her partner, she was accused of causing the fire to kill her daughter
32:14and collect the insurance money.
32:17When my daughter was born, she had an album.
32:23She said, this is my friend's wedding.
32:26I'm not going to get married.
32:29I'm going to get married with a friend's wedding.
32:33This is a school picture.
32:41Right after the fire, the police refused to believe it was an accident.
32:45For them, the cause is undoubtedly criminal.
32:48They look for a culprit at all costs and start harassing Keiko.
32:53Her daughter has just died and she has to undergo interrogation.
32:57To the police, it's a confession.
33:12It's based on this that Keiko will be convicted.
33:15But in prison, she decides to fight.
33:17With the help of lawyers and human rights associations, she gets an appeal.
33:21A miracle.
33:22In Japan, miscarriages of justice are rarely recognized.
33:23In Japan, miscarriages of justice are rarely recognized.
33:29We had before the murder of the gun.
33:44This was the first thing that was done.
33:46After the first time it was done, I was made of fire.
33:49But, it was not a problem.
33:51When I was told, I had a character that was 119,
33:55I was on the spot that I was in the case of 119,
33:57when I was in the test, I was in the case that I was in the case of fire.
34:01But I was in the case of fire.
34:05This was in 2016,
34:09They received a plea to the court in August 10,
34:12and they received a plea to the court.
34:17They received a plea to the court.
34:21They were the attorney's attorney.
34:24I received a plea to the court from the court.
34:31The state recognized their mistake and compensated Keiko Aoki, 750,000 euros for a ruined life.
34:47Keiko is no exception. She's not just a victim of a zealous police officer.
34:52It's an entire justice system based on confessions.
34:55This is confirmed by Hiroshi Ichikawa, a former prosecutor who was taught how to extract confessions.
35:08This is the case of a zealous police officer.
35:11When you open up a large file, you open a hole in Japan.
35:15Then you close the file and close the file.
35:18This is the case of a zealous police officer.
35:23If you don't want a terrorist in Paris, you'll be punched in front of your head.
35:29Or, if the protesters can't say that you're going to stand here, you're going to stand out there.
35:36By the way, you'll be told that you have received a wrong way to do this.
35:43It's the case of a zealous police officer.
35:45The president said that you've got the correct answer with any other words.
35:49As in the Keiko case, if suspects break down they are beyond all hope.
35:56Here about 90% of convictions are based on confessions, considered the ultimate proof
36:01in Japan despite the risk of miscarriages of justice.
36:04A risk that is all the more serious due to the fact that Japan is one of the few democracies
36:10still carrying out the death penalty.
36:13One man by himself embodies all the injustice of the system.
36:19Aged 84, Iwao Hakamada spent half of his life on death row for murders he did not commit.
36:27Since his release in 2014, he has been walking every day for three to four hours.
36:32He is a local celebrity.
36:41He is accompanied by Mashiko, a woman who has taken a liking to him.
36:46He came out of the prison a broken man after decades of solitary confinement.
36:50He does not say a word.
36:52Totally shut off from the rest of the world.
37:04Mashiko accompanies him home.
37:06She is trying to make his old age easier for him.
37:09That he is a strong woman's clothes.
37:12He is known as a woman, who is also alive for
37:15him.
37:16He is a secondary man that has broken down.
37:18He said he is the第一 man's Lift.
37:19He is a strong man.
37:20He says goodbye to the police, a secretary.
37:21He is the only one who haszip, a man who is a man who has invited him to
37:24be a little bit of a drive.
37:25While it is in the military, he is the only one that she was
37:28in to follow his life.
37:29I've been here for a long time, so I had to forget the warmth of the people.
37:39I wanted to get rid of it.
37:43Iwao Hakamada has been living with his sister since his release.
37:48She has kept some happy souvenirs of her brother from when he was a professional boxer.
37:53And then the heart-breaking letters he sent from prison.
38:02But his trial goes badly. Forced to confess, burdened by fabricated police evidence, he is sentenced to death.
38:17He holds out, but then something breaks him.
38:22But his trial goes badly. Forced to confess, burdened by fabricated police evidence, he is sentenced to death.
38:31He holds out, but then something breaks him.
38:35I was killed by my neighbor.
38:38I was killed by my neighbor.
38:39I was killed by my neighbor.
38:42I was killed by my neighbor.
38:44I was killed by my neighbor.
38:45I was killed by my neighbor.
38:46In the months that follow, he becomes overwhelmed.
38:49He is finally released after 48 years in prison, when DNA tests prove his innocence.
38:56We met a man who knows better than anyone else the trauma of death row inmates.
39:01Toshio Sakamoto, the former prison warden. He has witnessed many executions.
39:08In prison, they place a bureaucracy
39:14Right where self-doing was found.
39:17A lot of con brutions.
39:20A lot of convicts talks yukari literally while requiring a Police Force Office at the jail.
39:25Seventh is seen during realization.
39:29But convicts face an additional form of torture.
39:32But convicts face an additional form of torture.
39:36They spend an average of seven years on death row,
39:39and don't know when they will be hanged.
40:02And then 4-5 people.
40:08No time to say goodbye to their loved ones.
40:11Condemned prisoners are led to the gallows.
40:14Last November, an event revives the debate on the death penalty.
40:19For the first time in 38 years,
40:21the Pope is visiting the Japanese archipelago,
40:24which is home to 1.5 million Christians.
40:27I'm going to do a body check.
40:36Hakumada is one of the Vatican's VIP guests.
40:40He disappears in the midst of an exalted crowd
40:57as the Pope enters the arena.
40:59He is photographed next to his sister in the front rows.
41:03His presence alone is a strong signal against the death penalty.
41:07The Pope slips in a sentence full of innuendo.
41:13As a Christian community,
41:15we are invited to protect all life.
41:18Someone who is wrong,
41:20who is sick or in prison is not worthy of love.
41:28These words might not be enough to abolish the death penalty.
41:3180% of Japanese people support executions.
41:35Last year, 15 convicts were executed.
41:39More than 100 people are still on death row.
41:42How can such a judicial system be explained?
41:52It responds to a philosophy rooted in the culture of the country.
41:56Order and the harmony are cardinal virtues that everyone must respect.
42:01This is what Jake Adelstein, an American journalist who has been based in Japan for 30 years, will show us.
42:13Even Shibuya Crossing, it works organically well, right?
42:19When the lights are turning red, you don't see, you know, like people scrambling across anymore.
42:24Everybody kind of knows that, okay, you know, time to wait for the next light.
42:29People are very quiet.
42:30Now, is there a rule? Is there a discipline?
42:33Is there a, you know, is it like China where there's a spy camera watching you and you get points deducted from your social credit because you're speaking on the train?
42:40No.
42:41People just obey the rules because that's what they do here.
42:44And that's what you're taught from the time you're a child, you know.
42:49And in Japan, there are rules for everything.
42:54Rules make Japanese society work.
42:56Cigarette smoking, except in designated areas, is now banned in most parts of the city.
43:01That's a great thing.
43:02There is an unwritten rule that you're not supposed to eat and walk at the same time.
43:06Now, that isn't enforced, that's just how it is.
43:09Also, drinking and drinking and walking at the same time are forbidden.
43:16Japan is a country that constantly likes to warn you about things that you shouldn't do.
43:19This one is like, you know, no playing on the escalators, no baby cars on the escalators.
43:25You know, parents hold the hands of your kids when they're on the escalators.
43:30Don't wave your hands up and down on the escalators.
43:37You follow me?
43:39It's on the metro that these standards, internalized by the Japanese, are felt the most.
43:45Yep.
43:46All right.
43:49Excuse me.
43:50All right.
43:51Well, the other thing that's striking is that we're really annoying people because we're talking on the train,
43:54and nobody ever talks on the train.
43:56Because listen, like, do you hear that sound when people are talking?
44:00No, you don't, because they're not talking.
44:03Actually, it's one of the things I like about Japan.
44:06And even before cell phones, nobody was talking.
44:08Everybody's on the train.
44:10Japan plays a great deal of emphasis on harmony.
44:13And then in some ways, you know, the criminal courts expect the accused to harmonize with that system
44:20and just go along with it, even if they're, you know, even if they're not guilty.
44:26And when people say, like, you know, no, I didn't do it, sort of the audacity of you to challenge the entire system,
44:32you know, this one individual, is almost like, well, you know, you deserve whatever you get because you're a troublemaker.
44:51It's a love of order on which the country was built.
44:55Human relations are based on a respect for hierarchy and social norms.
44:59And if the Japanese forget them, their neighbors are there to remind them.
45:08It's 8pm in the Kabukicho district of Tokyo.
45:12Every two or three days, volunteers of a respectable age meet in a former police station.
45:22The only weapons on this little patrol are glow sticks and fluorescent vests.
45:29It's important to protect the shoppers from the ones who are good at the door.
45:33To protect the people from the workers.
45:36It takes to protect the guests as well, it takes to the trouble.
45:39In the case of the situation, it's dangerous to protect the people.
45:42Don't panic!
45:44Even if I could not say that the situation is dangerous,
45:48it's dangerous to protect the people in church.
45:51Two people from the country, it's a dangerous place to protect the people from.
45:53So, here we go.
45:55So, here we go.
45:57This is not a problem.
45:59I'm not sure.
46:01I'm not sure.
46:03I'm not sure.
46:05I'm not sure.
46:07I'm not sure.
46:09I'm not sure.
46:13Is this the French TV?
46:15It's not a problem.
46:17It's not a problem.
46:19It's not a problem.
46:25Kazuo is a retired policeman.
46:27Like his colleagues, he takes his role very seriously.
46:31I'm not sure.
46:33I'm not sure.
46:35I'm not sure.
46:37I'm not sure.
46:39I'm not sure.
46:41I'm not sure.
46:43I'm not sure.
46:47Kazuo writes down the number plate to send to the police.
46:51But he doesn't intervene when the driver arrives.
46:55His role is just to inform the police and issue warnings.
46:59He's a moral lesson.
47:05It's all over.
47:07It's not over.
47:09It's all over.
47:11It's all over.
47:13It's just a fire.
47:15It's not a foreign country.
47:17It's all over.
47:19It's all over.
47:21It's all over.
47:23It's all over.
47:25It's all over.
47:27It's all over.
47:28This is my family,
47:29which means it's too high.
47:31It's much better than I've been told.
47:33As an old man who is a school in the past,
47:35it's 70, 70 years old.
47:36It's just years old.
47:37It's about 70 years away.
47:39It's fine, but it's okay.
47:41If there's no one who is all over,
47:42it's no meatball.
47:43The only German people can pass...
47:44An hour and a dozen mornings later, the patrol is over.
47:52Groups like this exist in every city in the country.
47:55Is it this way of life that makes crime rates so low?
47:59In any case, crime is decreasing year after year.
48:04But it is increasing in one part of the population, the elderly.
48:09Some old Japanese people prefer prison to solitude.
48:17We are going to the southwest of Japan, to Iwakuni, famous for its American base.
48:33Its historic wooden bridge, and its women's prison.
49:01Japan is getting older, and so are the inmates.
49:04Here one in three prisoners is over 65.
49:08Some of them are 85 years old.
49:14Like the others, they work eight hours a day.
49:26The only difference is that they are given back their walkers when they leave the factory.
49:41It is sad to see these old ladies bent over in the cold of the prison.
49:47It is sad to see them in the cold.
49:50It is sad to see them in the cold.
49:51It is sad to see them in the cold.
49:52It is sad to see them in the cold.
49:55With no heating, just two to three showers a week, this is far from a luxury retirement home.
50:02Still, some prisoners seem relieved to be behind bars.
50:07This 70-year-old woman is on her fourth stint for shoplifting.
50:11Outside, like many old Japanese people, she was alone and let herself go.
50:16You can't help but wonder if she got locked up on purpose.
50:25I just said, yes, she is nice.
50:29I'm great.
50:31I'm really happy at the whole family.
50:33I've been looking for a whole lot.
50:35But I need to have a full day to try and get some fun.
50:39I've been looking for a lot.
50:40I have been living for a long time.
50:43I grew up for a long time.
50:44I spent a lot of time going in there with work at the stands.
50:48But I've been working for a long time.
50:51I have been living for a long time.
50:52The guards have had to adapt to this new population.
51:04It is a sensitive issue.
51:05The guard we talked to has prepared his response.
51:08The guard we talked about,
51:15介護や仕事の世話などを
51:18刑務官等が行わざるを得ず、
51:21特に症状が進行すると歩行や
51:24食事の補助、排泄の処理も必要な
51:29ため、集団ではなく個別の対応が求められます。
51:38Most of these inmates are here for petty theft, stealing food, shoes or handbags.
51:47In 20 years, crimes committed by senior citizens have increased fourfold in Japan.
51:53In an attempt to curb the phenomenon, the prison has set up a rehabilitation course.
52:08The program includes workouts and advice on how to stay in shape.
52:21And in particular, amazing training to learn how to take care of babies.
52:27I think there are many children who are just one-on-one, who are angry or angry.
52:36I hope you can help your children with their children.
52:42But I hope you can help your children with their children.
52:49The objective is to help these old women find their place in society when they are released,
52:55and therefore prevent them from re-offending.
53:13All of Japan's misery in one image.
53:16In a few years, maybe, these will be the last prisoners.
53:20Old people, alone, with no choice.
53:25They will be the last prisoners.
53:29Elsewhere, prisons are emptying.
53:38It is difficult for a westerner to understand this way of life based on order and discipline.
53:44But the Gona Fair illustrates something else.
53:46It is also difficult for the Japanese to understand why a man who has promised to answer for his actions before the law preferred to flee.
53:57And not respect the rules.
53:59So, let's do it.
54:00The Gона Fair
54:01She is the best.
54:02She is the best.
54:03In her mother, they all are the only ones who are demonstrating.
54:04But the rule is the best.
54:05This is a true human escape.
54:06This is true that the Gona Fair has witnessed.
54:07The Hormone Fair
54:08She is a true human escape.
54:09A great woman of lacrosse.
54:10The woman is a true human who has been born in the vineyard.
54:11And never seen her.
54:12She is a true human escape.
54:13It is a true human escape.
54:14She is the best.
54:15She is a true human escape.
54:16Her life has been even known while a man who has been the most.
54:17Her life has been with her person who has been killed.
54:18The girl who has been him.
54:19She has been in the last year.
