A very eye-opening YouTube video from Sundai Love explains the ins and outs of what happens when you get arrested in Japan and the treatment that follows, even if you are completely innocent. In her case, her crime was receiving post, apparently a normal everyday item from someone she doesn't know; she didn't place the order herself. She details that you can be held in these detention camps for issues as minor as jaywalking (could someone please disprove or corroborate) and it's a detention camp with intentionally highly uncomfortable living conditions in order to induce a confession of guilt. The food is diabolical, she was held in solitary confinement, she had no access to communicate with her family or lawyers and the bright lights in every room are kept on all night. She was held for 35 days in these conditions despite fully cooperating and there being no evidence of guilt or a crime. When she completed one maximum time, they stacked on another "crime" and arrested her again.

I have to admit that this video scared me a little. I have no intention of doing anything wrong, but I truly had no idea that you could get arrested in Japan this easily. Does anyone here know of any real life experiences where this has happened to you or someone you know?

Edit: I am referring to a police detention camp.
