an article about photos with no photos
Moderator: If you read the story, you'll see that the exhibition hasn't started yet. You'll see a live link at the end of the story, giving you information on the photo exhibition.

Here you go, Dango.

Goodlucktoyou
Thanks @commandeer.
The photos look like a Tokyo apartment. I feel this is just a photo op. Good point is that these scum only get food that costs less than ¥200, but in the workshop, they probably give ¥5000 a day for the prison.

Japanses porridge can't be fun. If you look at the amount of "power harassment" and other bad behavior in society at large, can only imagine what this type of institutional treatment must be like.
agree, not nice to call them scum. many of them probably just fell foul of some strange statute.

From what I have heard, Japanese prisons are pretty awful. Highly regimented, down to the way they can sit, wash and talk. While there may be real scum in prisons, a lot of these guys have just had very unfortunate lives with the deck stacked against them from birth. It takes a special fortitude to rise out of a bad childhood environment, and nobody should assume they could do it themselves unless they have actually experienced it.

Probably another example of what photographs portray, and what is reality, being completly different.
By the way, referring to prisioners as scum is not conjusive to an advanced society.

How many of the prisoners are actually guilty is where my concern lies.
