00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the HOTPOT website.

00:04In general, in everyone's impression, the prison will be locked up in various ways

00:09because of different crimes and prisoners who have been imprisoned.

00:11However, in Tokyo, Japan, the biggest female prison,

00:14the prisoners of the Limu Criminal Investigation Office have a particularly prominent feature.

00:20That is, in this prison, every five prisoners have an elderly person.

00:25The proportion of elderly prisoners is particularly high.

00:28Is it because the local elderly people have a particularly high crime rate?

00:32Or is there a special reason that makes this prison almost another kind of nursing home

00:37and locks up so many elderly female prisoners?

00:40The answer may make many people feel different.

00:43Because many of the elderly women are deliberately committing crimes

00:47just to enter the prison and get three meals,

00:50and there is also free medical care and elderly care.

00:54CNN, a news network in the United States, recently went deep into the prison

00:58to explore the aging situation in the prison.

01:01They found that many elderly prisoners are willing to stay in prison.

01:06Some even prefer to pay for themselves.

01:08Paying 20,000 to 30,000 yen a month, they only hope to live here forever.

01:13It's better than suffering in prison.

01:15They have to face a serious sense of loneliness.

01:17CNN reported that prisoners over 65 years old in Japan

01:21have almost quadrupled from 2003 to 2022.

01:26A prison guard said,

01:28they help these elderly prisoners change their diapers,

01:31take a shower and eat.

01:33It feels more like a nursing home than a prison for prisoners.

01:38Some people come to the prison because it's cold

01:40or because they are hungry.

01:42And those who are sick can get free medical care in the prison.

01:46But once they are released from prison,

01:48they have to pay for themselves.

01:50A 81-year-old female prisoner named Yang Zi said during an interview,

01:55she has been imprisoned for five times because of drug use in the past 25 years.

02:00Every time she comes to the prison,

02:02she will find that the prisoners inside seem to get older.

02:05If someone runs out of money,

02:07they will deliberately do bad things just to go back to prison.

02:10Another prisoner, Qiu Dai, also said

02:13that when she was over 60 years old, she was imprisoned for stealing.

02:16When she was released from prison,

02:18she found that life was more difficult.

02:20She could only rely on a monthly salary

02:22and a very small amount of pension to make a living.

02:25So when she didn't have enough money to live,

02:27she chose to steal again

02:30so that she could be locked up in prison again.

02:33The report pointed out that many prisoners would rather go back to prison

02:36in order to survive,

02:38because they don't have much to rely on outside.

02:41Because they have been in prison for a long time,

02:43they are afraid to face the public

02:45and even their families after being released from prison.

02:47Also, they are too old to work,

02:50so they have to spend the rest of their life in prison.

02:53This has become a tough challenge for the aging Japanese society.

02:58According to data,

03:00over 65-year-old Japanese people

03:02make up 20% of the population living in poverty.

03:05The aging population of Japan is growing rapidly

03:08and is also changing year by year.

03:10The government expects that in 2040,

03:12it will need 2.72 million caretakers

03:15to meet the needs of the aging Japanese society.
