The reports said, quoting police investigators, that Fukusaku was found bleeding from the neck after being assaulted with a weapon by his 38-year-old cellmate in the correctional facility in Hawaii.

US prison justice differs somewhat from the Japanese hostage justice system.

Now that is what we call karma.

Eventually it catches up with these animals, even after decades.

died Monday after being stabbed by his cellmate in a prison in the state

There is no safety at all in US prisons there. It reminds of me some movies showed prisoners kill another prisoner who they don't like.

" kill another prisoner who they don't like."

US prison, are extremely dangerous, many go in but less live, There is a prisoner code in US prisons: no women, no children.

Do your crimes in Japan only.

What is the prisoner code? It sounds like no body have responsibility about killing in prison. Guards or director must have some kinda responsibility about their life in prison.

30 years after the fact by someone elementary-aged at time of the crimes? Probably just some conflict or a nutty person.

His sentence was completed.

He got what he Deserved

He got along with all the staff

That's probably why his cellmate did it.

In U.S. jails you are either with the inmates or with the staff. He probably had loose lips.

Very few people, especially convicted criminals, get along "well" in such confined spaces.

Bound to be a blow for future extradition requests from the US.

Bound to be a blow for future extradition requests from the US.

Because the Japanese didn't get to off him faster?

No, if the US can’t guarantee the safety of extradited prisoners, they’re unlikely to have requests entertained.

In Japan's prison no worry about being killed by other prisoners, but US prison seems like hell. They probably worry about own life every day.

Extradited prisoners or not, that say a lot about a country that ca not guarantee the safety in their own facility.

Its the guards who will tell the other prisoners what a Gaigin JN did, ESPECIALLY in this case involving women, and "innocent" offspring but you would not know anything about tha as most of your peeps.. He's lucky he did not get raped over and over before taken out..

And yet we don't torture them to insanity like it seems Japan does.

Cue the violins for the bleeding hearts lamenting the death of a despicable piece of trash.

How about the innocent victims here whose lives were cut much, much shorter than this scum?

Fighto: Cue the violins.

What would satisfy your lust for blood? Fukusaku was given two life sentences for his crimes, not 30 years and a shivving.

If the US can’t manage its bestial prisons, foreign criminals it wants to try will not be extradited. Victims won’t then get the justice they deserve.
