都市にある刑務所：李国林受刑者と広島刑務所
日本では、こうした意義もあるのだから、ひたすら内観によって矯正に努めるペンシルバニア製をとらない。そこで刑務所は少人数で行っていた作業の人員を増加させたり、品質チェック等の回数を増やしたりしている。これはおよそ反資本主義的であり、出所後の社会適応に齟齬をきたす。法務省は、そのため、ボランティア活動など刑務所外での作業を多くする方針をとっている。そうすると、なおのこと、都市部への立地が必須になる。

Prisons in Cities : Inmate Li Guolin and Hiroshima Penitentiary
In Japan, there is such a specification. Thus, the Pennsylvania system, reforming inmates by applying self-contemplation method single-mindedly, is not taken. This is the reason why prisons have to increase the number of workers for tasks which were before done by a smaller number of workers. Also, they have increased the number of quality control tasks. This is almost like an anti-capitalism, and might cause contradictions of social adaptation after the inmates are released from prisons. The Ministry of Justice, therefore, takes a course of action to increase the tasks outside of prisons such as volunteer works. Doing so, prisons need to be located to urban areas all the more.

Prisons located in urban areas: Inmate Li Kokulin and Hiroshima prison
In Japan, with this meaning, the Pennsylvania method, which aims at reclamation only through meditation, is not applied. Accordingly other measures are taken; e.g., the number of inmates for doing one task is increased, the number of times for checking the quality of items is increased, or something like that. These methods are completely anti-capitalistic ways, and, therefore, inmates have difficulty to live an ordinary social life after they finish their jail terms and leave prisons. In order to avoid this situation Ministry of Justice take the line to increase the works outside prisons such as volunteer activities. Consequently it becomes more and more necessary to place prisons in urban areas.

受刑者はいずれ社会に復帰することが前提になっている。社会から隔離すると、そこでのみ適応する人間を育ててしまい、出所後にまた犯罪を繰り返すようになりかねない。再販防止の観点から刑務所は都市部に立地せざるを得ない。
今回の脱走は、この受刑者に逃走歴があったことはさておき、起こるべくして起きたと言える。アメリカは性悪説で受刑者に臨むのに、日本は性善説をとっているから逃げられたんだというわけではない。刑務所の過剰収容が以前から指摘されている。

Supposing all inmates will eventually return to the society. If they are isolated from the society, they will be grown to be people who will adapt only to that specific place, and this may lead to them repeating crimes after they return to the society. In view of prevention of repeat convictions, prisons cannot help but to locate themselves in urban areas.
The prison escape by Li Guolin proves that it was bound to happen, setting aside that this inmate had had a history of escape before. In America, they face inmates with a view that human nature is fundamentally evil, but Japan's view is that human nature is fundamentally good. But this is not the reason why the inmate managed to escape. The prison's overcrowding issue has long been pointed out.

It is a definite condition that inmates eventually get back to societies. If they are separated from societies, they can live only where they are now. They might run over crimes again and again after they leave prisons. From the standpoint of preventing subsequent offenses, prisons must be located in urban areas.
This time, his breach of prison has naturally occurred although he has a previous experience of breakout. You cannot say that Hiroshima prison let him run away because Japan treat inmates with the view of human nature as fundamentally good while the U.S. treat them with a view of human nature inherently depraved. It is also pointed out that Japanese prisons keep too many inmates.

It is the requisite that convicts would get back to the civil society after completion of the term of sentence. When a person is isolated from the society, he/she will tend to be adapted only for his/her own limited areas, where he/she would relent to commit crimes thereafter again when he/she is released. To prevent the repetition of offenses, there would be no other way but to build prisons in urban areas.
The concerned desertion can be said that something that would happen happened, apart from that the concerned convict has tried to break out of a jail previously as well. In the United States, convicts are dealt with from the ethical standpoint that human nature is evil, on the other hand, in Japan, convicts are treated in the way that man's inborn nature is good, therefore some convicts might think it easy to find a chance to break out of a prison. It is not necessarily argued that the desertion happened by the reason as above mentioned. It has been pointed out for a long time that prisons are overpopulated.

限られた数の刑務官で増える受刑者を監視することは難しくなる。それでいて予算の削減圧力も強い。法務省も手を打っている。収容率は2000年代半ばには110％を超えていたが、近年では各刑務所における収容棟の増築や新設PFI 刑務所(民営刑務所)の運営、受刑者総数の減少に伴い収容率は改善、100％を切るに至っている。しかしこれはあくまで平均である。刑期が長い服役囚や女子受刑者の施設は過剰収容の状態が継続している。さらに広島刑務所は収容分類級が幅広く、刑務官にも多様な人材が必要とされる

It is not an easy task observing ever-increasing inmates with a limited number of prison guards. Additionally, there is a strong pressure of budgetary cutback. The Ministry of Justice has already taken a measure. The housing rate of inmates had hit 110% in the middle of year 2000, but it has now been reduced to less than 100% after some extensions of inmates' accomodation buildings at all prisons, operation of newly built PFI prisons (private prisons), and also the improvement in the housing rate due to the decrease in total number of inmates in recent years. However, this is just an average standard. Facilities for convicts who are serving long-term sentences and female inmates are continually having an overcrowding issue. Additionally, the Hiroshima Penitentiary is known to have a wide range of housing ranks. This means they require many different types of prison guard resources.

It becomes more and more difficult to observe increasing number of inmates. And yet, the pressure to cut the budget is strong. Of course Ministry of Justice is trying to take measures. The institutionalization rate of inmates exceeded 110% back in the middle of the 2000s, and it has become less than 100% due to expansion and new construction of buildings that keeps inmates, running RFI prisons (private sector prison), decrease in the total number of inmates, etc. But this should be seen as an absolutely average status. For inmates with longer jail terms and female inmates, the status of too much institutionalization continues. In addition at Hiroshima prison, the degree of the division for inmates depending on their conditions is wide, so various prison guards with different experiences are required.

人数だけの問題ではない。裁判員制度が始まり、今まで市民に知られることが少なかった刑事司法の世界が徐々に明らかになっている。今回の脱走事件を刑務所の監視体制の問題に帰着させるのは、この制度導入以前の認識でしかない。刑務所の社会復帰予定者の過剰収容という課題をどのように考え、対処していくのかが市民も建設的に議論する必要がある。伝統的な非収容型の刑罰と早期釈放制度の拡充ももっと検討されてよい。これも、もちろん、予算次第である。刑事事件はもはやニュースとして消費されるだけではない。

It is not just a problem of the number of people. The citizen judge system began in Japan, and the once-unknown world of criminal justice is gradually made clear. Logically concluding the escape incident as a problem of the prison's monitoring system is nothing but just a recognition before the citizen judge system came in effect. The general public need to discuss constructively about the opinions on the overcrowding problem of the inmates who are waiting to return to the society and also on how this problem shall be dealt with. Also, expansion of the traditional non-housing punishment and the early release system shall be considered further. These, of course, depend on the budgets. Criminal cases should no longer be consumed just as news stories.

It is not a problem of the number of staffs. Citizen Judge System began, and the world of criminal justice, which had not been familiar to ordinary citizens, became clear over time. To ascribe the runaway case this time to the breach of the guard system of the prison is not valid; this way of thinking is based merely on the knowledge before introduction of the Judge System. The issue of over institutionalization of intimates who are going to leave prisons must be discussed and worked through involving citizens in a constructive manner. Traditional criminal punishment system without institutionalization and acceleration of early release system can be discussed more actively. Of course budget is required. Criminal cases must no longer be gobbled up as mere news.
