I had my doubts about that guy at first, but the more I see of his vids the more I like. He's square.

This would be cool if it wasn't FAKE.

That's cool, but I'm afraid I'd bust me ass. Vehicle? No way that can be classified as a vehicle.

I met a guy that had recently gotten out of the joint. He was pale and very polite. I don't think that you need to watch the whole thing, after a few minutes you can get the idea.

That was fascinating Jay. I watched the whole thing.

Cool, Leon. Especially a foreigner having to enter a system like that can only be exceptionally difficult...minimizing yourself through total integration, rather than holding on to one's own identity and needs through the feeling of self. To get through it undamaged, i imagine means finding possibilities within yourself that you didn't know existed. It's an old saying in Japanese training, that you don't know your own capabilities. Despite what that film depicts in terms of guards having a philosophy and code about their jobs, according to the news, there have been abuses.

How else would you get conformity? Can you imagine how it would go over in the US?

Despite the difficulties for a foreigner, and the potential abuses, I think I would probably be better off in a Japanese prison than an American one.

By the guards or by the inmates? At least for the people that work at the supermax prisons in the states, not having to deal with the danger from the constant threat of violence, some dude throwing his crap at you when his slit is opened, would probably be regarded as a Godsend. I though it revealing that the warden seemed rather intentionally non explanatory about what exactly goes on in the section of prison where non conforming inmates are housed, other than saying that people are being protected from themselves. That leaves a lot up to the imagination. Kind of in keeping with how the public is informed when an execution takes place, which is often no more than a small article in the paper, saying that some individual has been removed from life, and explaining his crime. No pre-announcement, no fanfare, no big deal other than considered an evil necessity.
The work regime they stress, I've seen some pretty nice woodwork that came out of the prisons here. There is an annual exhibit. I've thought that it might be interesting/rewarding to teach inside, there is a youth facility nearby with a woodworking program, been meaning to stop by and see if I might wrangle a look into the place, beyond the small display shop that they have open to the public with things for sale. Judging by what the vid showed, the approach looks very tidy and organized.

Oh, I agree, the system is working in Japan.

It could be worse... it could be a Russian prison!!!
Damn, I'd hate to have to stare at a wall for 6 months.

This is pretty much useless for arborists, but still the fastest stump grinding I have seen, short of explosives.

I like the super slow rotation of that device, as it doesn't throw debris at 100 mph around the site. Seems very safe to use near the home, where windows are sometimes a concern. And as you stated, super fast.
Thanks for the vid.
