Why are Japanese prisons called "paradise on earth" by helpless old people?

Lonely old people have no one to take care of, and no one to take care of their daily lives. In prison, they are not afraid of food and shelter, accompanied by a group of companions. It's like changing homes for them. There's nothing to imprison. Japan is aging more and more seriously. Many old people have to go out to look for jobs when they are in their sixties. It is best that their children can take care of them a little. If they can't, they will be left unattended in the street. At this time, in order to have a place to eat and live, they thought of prison.

Japanese prisons will have special chefs and special diet menus for elderly people with high symptoms of diabetes. This is already very human. When people reach a certain age, there will be many old problems, among which diabetes, hypertension and other symptoms are common to most elderly people. They were worried about eating and drinking outside. Here, they not only have food, but also can eat something healthy. No wonder they are so interested in the elderly. Some elderly people with mobility difficulties will be taken care of by special caregivers, which is like hiring a nanny.

In prison, there are wheelchairs for the elderly with mobility difficulties. There will also be handrails in the aisle to help the elderly walk. The bathing place will be specially designed to prevent slipping, and you will be accompanied when you sleep and watch TV. It is no exaggeration to say that these facilities are completely hotel-style, taking care of the elderly in all directions, and there are sports venues for the elderly to exercise, such as squash, chess and cards and even karaoke bars ... Entertainment facilities are a very complete place.

In prison, the old man only needs to get up early and go to bed early every day, do simple manual work and eat on time within the specified time, and the task of the day is completed. For the health of the elderly, there will be special health classes for them to attend, exercise their muscles and walk around. There will be birthday cakes and extra meals on holidays, and the prison staff can be said to be very considerate to them.

Living in such an environment for a long time, you won't feel imprisoned, but it's like having a new home. There must be some tough places in prison, where people will lose their freedom, be controlled and have no dignity, but life outside is even harder. In fact, it is more like a nursing home, which can provide shelter for the elderly.
