Nah it didn't really stop themthough I mean, the Japanese penal system is a total joke.
It's a mixture of naivete about crime and who commits it ( Koreans and Chinese , according to them) and fascism ( regular beatings for prisoners, no jury system, no rights for prisoners) which has left them in the position of not being able to do anything.
Then again in the 2 years that I lived there I never once locked my front door so they must be doing something right...

what wereyou doing there for 2 years?
(a friend of mind got busted in spain for drug dealing. He got put away in prison for a while no interpreter, no explanations, no one told him how long he'd be in there... after a month they let him go. Odd. He was guilty but odd nonetheless. He thought he might be in there for years)

Same as everyone else over thereTeaching English.
It's funny, I miss and and don't miss it in equal measure.
On the one hand, good money, good food, some beautiful places no crime, you feel totally safe , hardly ever rains....
On the other hand, rampant racism, sexism and conformity as an art form.
