Kanto Medical Juvenile Training School, Krankenhaus in Japan
The Kanto Medical Juvenile Training School is a government facility in Tokyo that provides education and rehabilitation support to young people who have broken rules or laws. The building contains classrooms, medical rooms, and gender-separated residential areas, with shared spaces for instruction and group activities.
The school was established in the early 1900s as part of Japan's juvenile care system, combining discipline with medical support. Over time, programs were updated and modernized, and in 1993 an international division was added to teach language skills and help young people with foreign backgrounds integrate into society.
The facility is located in a quiet part of Tokyo that is accessible and surrounded by offices, schools, and small parks. It is not open to the general public as it is a secure working facility under the Ministry of Justice.
A remarkable feature is that stays at this facility do not create permanent criminal records affecting a person's future life. Records are kept only in police and court documents, allowing graduates a genuine second chance without their past following them forever.
