Elderly prisoners (in green) clean the corridor outside their rooms/cells, watched over by a guard, in Onomichi prison, Japan. The handrail down the centre of the corridor is provided for the benefit of the elderly and infirm prisoners., As the Japanese society rapidly ages, the country is now having to deal with a sharp rise in the number of criminals from the pensioner age group. Over 65's now count for the fastest growing age group of inmates.

Such is the dramatic increase in the percentage of elderly prisoners (currently 12% of the total prison population), Japan has been forced to invest billions of yen to construct 3 new prison wards to house over 1,000 inmates.

However, this does not explain away the fact that while the number of Japane...
