Fuchū Prison, Correctional facility in Fuchū, Japan
Fuchū Prison extends across 22.6 hectares, enclosed by a 1.8-kilometer wall measuring 5.5 meters in height, with four distinct cell blocks for different inmate categories.
The Home Ministry established Fuchū Prison in June 1935 following the destruction of Sugamo Prison during the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake in Tokyo.
The prison system implements strict silence protocols during meals, work sessions, and daily activities, reflecting Japanese institutional discipline and order maintenance.
Foreign male inmates reside in individual 10-square-meter cells across dedicated blocks, with access to three 15-minute showers per week and work programs.
The facility maintains order with 600 guards overseeing 1,700 inmates, including 350 foreign nationals, operating various workshops for vocational training and rehabilitation programs.
