Japanese prison system is quite hard on man. Compulsory work, no socialization, solitary confinement as punishment... Nobody is going to "bath you".

Of anything this just proves how privileged some groups are!

Is that true for elderly non-violent men confined in Japan? I thought solitary confinement was mostly a US barbarity. Does Japan use it as frequently?

The women discussed in the article had compulsory work. That's probably part of the appeal, it's good to stay busy and feel useful.
