Japanese Prison | National Geographic

just a long hallway with prison doors on
each side and he opened the door with
the key and told me to go inside that
was the beginning of long stretches hard
time
they gave me a rulebook I mean they told
me I was expected to read and remember
this rule book they had every aspect of
your life ruled and regulated and
regimented and if these rules aren’t
followed that you will be punished I was
thinking oh my god there’s no way I’m
gonna be able to remember all these
rules let alone follow them I kind of
anticipated some trouble there okay you
are expected on command to step out of
the cell door turn around and face the
wall until another command is given
Prague where you will turn around and
March to the factory where you will work
most of the time my work was
constructing paper shopping bags each
person was expected to take the bag off
of the end pile and perform one fold or
glue one scene only and then pass it on
to the next guy next to him and it was
his end pile and I was thinking are you
kidding me marching marching everywhere
your arms were coming up to 90 degrees
pitch me itch knee which is one two
here we were marching like robots you’ll
go crazy you just felt like a machine
after a few months none of this I just
had enough
one of the guards came up with a
megaphone and started barking in my face
and I’m thinking I’ve got to do
something I just snapped
push the megaphone into his face and
before I knew it they’re like
guards pinning me to the ground twist it
off the collar of my shirt and soaked
off my hair away and eventually he
choked me to the point of
unconsciousness
