I was reading a Wikipedia page about a Japanese man who was recently released from prison after spending years on death row. A link lead to this article http://ift.tt/1gKncg7 which said in part;
Sounds very rough compared to the USA. Did this article get it right?
I used to make ocasional trips to Yokosuka in the past with the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. I entered the country with my passport and in accordance with the Status of Forces Agreement. Prior to departure from the US we all get a bit of training on Japanese customs and laws; long story short, "don't you dare get into trouble". While little things can be taken care of by kicking the offender out of the country, I've heard the Navy turns over the real trouble makers to the Japanese police.

Suspects may be held and questioned without access to a lawyer for up to 23 days. Even after that, police are not required to let defense counsel sit in on their clients’ questioning, and the defense is not entitled to look at all the evidence in the files of police and prosecutors. The great pressure on police and prosecutors to produce confessions and the great latitude to question suspects behind closed doors have yielded recurring credible allegations of physical and psychological abuse during interrogations. |
