A Very Common Landscape around Tokyo


(A little information of today:
- The recommitment rate in Japan is almost 49% for those released from a prison within past five years. Now a new prison fully equipped with IT systems and partly under private management has been recently completed in Japan taking into consideration the above statistics [NHK].

- One Japanese kidney transplant patient who went through the transplant operation in China paid US 30,000 dollars to a female Chinese doctor who arranged a new kidney. But, the kidney did not fit to the patient and was eventually taken out; then the patient came back to Japan. It is unknown if the kidney had been taken from a Chinese criminal executed and if money was partly returned. The rate of complete success in this kind of special transaction in China is said to be about 33% for Japanese patients secretly operated [Fuji TV].)
