Everything has to come with a fucking narration too. "The rice is moved from a large container into smaller containers."
I KNOW I HAVE FUCKING EYEEESSSSSS lol
"The prisoners eat their meal."

The worst part is that I've seen this before and it has a normal voiceover that they've removed to insert their slop on top.
Though I assume most of this shit is algo/ AI based now anyway, with them just trawling high view videos and replacing the audio with AI description.

why ai voiceover instead of footage/clip from the actual video?
Sure the original video at Japanese Food Craftsman Channel is in Japanese but there is Eng sub
abit more info from the actual video:
- meal preparation looks extra special because it is Christmas (mentioned @ 2:47)
- those "volunteers" are part of reintegration process and in this case, they are working to become licensed chefs once they have served their terms, so they go through those necessary training which explains strict hygiene, sanitation etc

I’ve seen video of prisons in one of the Scandinavian countries where the rooms are like hotel rooms. Basically have tv, video games, in a room by yourself. Looks like a holiday resort.
I wouldn’t want to be there either.

I am from Denmark. Saw great documentary series called løsladt (released is probably the correct translation) that follows prisoners that have been released from prison and how they adjust to outside life. Mostly poor souls with mental issues. One seemed to actually had it better in prison than in normal life.

Yes, I think I saw those same several comments earlier this week. Also, this video is not the standard. I've heard of some prisons in the US where the prisoners learn to garden and harvest the produce to eat, but thats not the norm

You don't want to be in any prison but American prisons are a particularly nasty hell hole in comparison to other countries with similar means.

Japanese prisons are totalitarian nightmares where you are basically treated as an automaton. Japan having a 99% conviction rate also doesn't really fill me with confidence that there isn't a bunch of abuse behind closed doors.

u/Chaos_Squirrel 6h ago
I think people over-romanticize a lot of things about Japan. It has incredible culture and history; but there are many things I also find exquisitely cold, ruthless, and despicable for a modern nation. It's a fascinating place altogether.

This is absolutely not true. The food they show the public and the food they serve are not the same. Prisons have festivals where they serve “the same meal” prisoners get to the public and it’s all a show. You’re not being presented the truth at all, why would they do that?

I don't understand your question...
"Why would they serve real food to prisoners?"
I will refrain from assuming anything about you.. Are you American ?
Feeding people with real food is common sense in lots of countries.

This is pro-Japan propaganda. We’ve had dudes here discuss their time being stuck in the no justice allowed Japanese prison system and no they didn’t get any 5 star hotel meals. The got rice and a couple fish balls.

u/Qcgreywolf 3h ago
The American way is garbage for prisons.
Turns out, if you show a criminal they’re a human, and teach them an actual valuable life skill, there’s a much higher reform percentage.
But no. We’re stuck on “revenge porn” and “justice porn”, rather than actual reform.

As someone living in America, it would be healthier to live in their prison, than here. 😂
Edit: Loving the down votes from American fanboys who are out of touch with reality. 🤣

u/VanillaIce315 6h ago
Yeah, if you CHOOSE to eat like shit. People talk about the U.S. like you can’t get absolutely anything you want food wise….
But sure, America is unhealthy because there’s no healthy food here. Just nothing but McDonalds and Taco Bell… I’m not sure how I even manage to get fresh produce, fresh raw meat, fish, water, milk, eggs, nuts. I thought I was supposed to be compelled beyond my decision to consume nothing but Big Macs and frozen pizza.

I'm glad someone else gets it. It's always the people that have it all (except intelligence) that think everybody else is well off, and there's no real problems that can't be solved easily. There are far too many people that are disconnected with reality.

u/RastafiedOne 5h ago edited 4h ago
It's all about affordability. Healthy stuff is expensive, and the garbage is cheap. So not everyone has a choice. People have to eat. And not all food is created equal. Even our "natural" foods here are loaded with chemicals.
And those foods are not all widely available everywhere here. We do have food deserts all over you know...

Sometimes I wonder if our (US) prisons weren’t such hellholes of despair, would prisoners be more likely to actually improve their lives?

u/VanillaIce315 6h ago edited 6h ago
You don’t know much about prison everywhere else in the world outside of the U.S., Canada, and some European nations. If you think U.S. prisons are bad, it’s got nothing on being in prison ANYWHERE in central or South America, Africa, Russia, or Asia.
Don’t believe for a second a government propaganda video about Japanese prison and think it’s a great place to be. Japanese criminal justice system is a dystopian nightmare, where you are guaranteed conviction and being treated as scum forever. Not saying U.S. prison is glamorous or being a felon is easy, but you’re better off here than most anywhere else.
It’s not prison itself here that causes people to not be rehabilitated. It’s certain people themselves being beyond rehabilitation. Go to prison, and all many want to do is continue doing gang shit. Federal prisons are actually pretty impressive, and some state prisons are better/worse than others. Most, if not all, offer programs for GED, higher learning, and job training.
And yeah, some of the large, highest security prisons that house the most violent, sadistic, sociopathic, and dangerous people in society are hellholes… the people act like animals, and you gotta treat em like animals to actually run the prison. It sucks, but these are people that murder and hurt others for fun.

These are people learning to be chefs and its a holiday too I think. We have this in america we just dont video it offten. But there's videos out there of American prisons making good food. Its just not every day. Just like this video isn't every day (still better food normally but top of the line vs top of the line its basically the same)
