R3 Japan’s Judicial System

Justice means that the right person is accused and convicted of a crime. Additionally, nobody would be held in jail from false allegations which is common in Japan. The treatment of convicts seems unfair to the accused as they can be held for twenty three days consecutively and additional time if they continue to add more charges. Moreover, they are have limited access to their lawyers while being held and are unable to have them present during interrogations. Lastly if they are denied medical attention even if it was known before being held. Compared to the treatment convicts get in Canada, where they are able to freely speak to their lawyers along with limited time being held in jail. My previous ideas of Japan have changed as I knew their crime rates were very low, but I thought that it was due to the culture of japan being different. Not due to the high conviction rates they had. Japans ideas of justice heavily influences the type of anime they create, as they believe the right person will always prevail if they are truely in the right.
