Eine zu Unrecht verurteilte Frau erklärt, wie Japans Staatsanwälte Verdächtige verhören: „Die Aussagen, die die Staatsanwälte zu erhalten versuchen, basieren auf ihrer ‚Geschichte‘.“ Sie werden Sie mit verschiedenen Taktiken befragen, um eine Aussage zu bekommen, die zu ihrer Geschichte passt … Aber es ist eine sorgfältig ausgewählte Version der Meinung der Staatsanwaltschaft.“

They will throw you in a cell without a reason at all, fabricate the story while you are in there, and then try to get you to confess to their final product. The system is built upon it. These false confessions get the harsher penalties. Serial killers? Out walking in broad daylight. Why? Oh, they *could not find enough evidence.*
Keeping silent is (likely) the best strategy to battle prosecutors.
99% conviction rate. They don’t have a job except coercing people into admission. It’s sad and Japan should be ashamed.
You know there is something inherently wrong when the system is oddly “efficient” (99% rate) in a country where once you live in, you start to realize that efficiency depends a lot on the situation and if it’s for what *they* want, or what *you* want.
This is why you should know your rights and try to avoid the police as much as possible in your daily interactions. The criminal justice conveyor belt moves quickly in only one direction.
