00:00I was probably the most nervous I've ever been on a shoot.
00:04There are people who have committed crimes here, right?
00:06That's right.
00:07Tonight's Anta Watchman is...
00:09Is it a documentary?
00:11Here it is.
00:13Chiba Prison.
00:15I'm very interested in the job of a prison officer.
00:19A project to dig deeper into a job you don't know in detail.
00:22Three times more interesting.
00:24The amazing Anta of the city.
00:26Date investigates the job of an unknown prison officer.
00:31There's an emergency bell.
00:33What kind of emergency is there?
00:36For example, when you find yourself committing suicide.
00:41What?
00:43He also approaches the feelings of a prison officer who works in a harsh environment.
00:48I was told that I had stopped working for a moment.
00:53I'm going to do my best to make that moment.
00:58And then, in a forbidden place, Date...
01:02Excuse me.
01:03What should I do?
01:05Hey!
01:06Hey!
01:08Are you meeting a prisoner?
01:10Well...
01:11I remember a lot of things.
01:14This is why Date was interested in the job of a prison officer.
01:19I don't know why, but...
01:21I often go to prisons.
01:23Well, not often.
01:25Abashiri Prison in Hokkaido is now a museum.
01:29I've been there five times, including private ones.
01:32I wonder what kind of job he's doing.
01:36I'm just curious.
01:38It's the kind of content we deal with.
01:40It's the first time I've seen Anta's work outside of the press.
01:43There's a lot of variety.
01:45What kind of image do you have of a prison officer?
01:47Well, he's strict.
01:50When I watch American dramas, there are a lot of bad guys.
01:55I don't think there are many Japanese people.
01:59It's a little different from you.
02:01How was it?
02:02There's nothing in there.
02:04There's nothing in there.
02:06It's a parking lot for visitors.
02:09Visitors?
02:11It's common in movies and dramas.
02:13That's true.
02:14I've seen people go to prisons and bring in prisoners.
02:20I can see it now.
02:23This is inside the prison.
02:25It's like a movie world.
02:27What is this?
02:28Is it like this?
02:30Chiba Prison is old.
02:32The person who will guide us this time is...
02:35Hello.
02:36Hello.
02:37I'm Takeda from Chiba Prison.
02:39Nice to meet you.
02:41Mr. Takeda is a soldier, isn't he?
02:44That's right.
02:46How tall are you?
02:48I can't tell you the exact height.
02:50You don't have to say it.
02:52It's not very high.
02:53It's not very high.
02:54I can't reach it with a jump.
02:55I can't reach it.
02:56I can't reach it.
02:57It's as high as this.
02:59It's as high as this.
03:00It's as high as this.
03:01It's as high as this.
03:02There's a reason why he interviewed Date this time.
03:08Why did you interview him?
03:10Well, the prison system has been reformed.
03:14Now, the prison system is called Koukin Kei.
03:17Koukin Kei?
03:18Yes.
03:19Koukin Kei has been implemented since June this year.
03:22What's that?
03:23The prison system that has been passed on to prisoners has been abolished.
03:29The reform was focused on education programs and rehabilitation.
03:36Koukin Kei has been reviewed for the first time in 117 years since the establishment of the prison system in the Meiji period.
03:45I thought it would be a good opportunity for the prosecutors to know what kind of work they are doing.
03:51That's why I interviewed him today.
03:55I think it's a good opportunity.
03:56Thank you very much.
03:57Thank you very much.
04:00It's amazing. It's open.
04:02It's amazing.
04:03It's amazing.
04:04It's amazing inside.
04:06It's historic.
04:07Who presses the intercom?
04:10Is this person here?
04:11Is he here?
04:12He's not here.
04:13He's not here.
04:14I'm sorry. I'm curious about everything.
04:15I'm sorry. Thank you.
04:19Let's go to the front of the building.
04:25Look at this.
04:26What do you call this?
04:30This is what's inside.
04:32This is an electric generator, isn't it?
04:34It's called a security line.
04:36That's right.
04:37I don't want the staff to see this.
04:38No, no, no.
04:39It'll be a big deal.
04:41You can't touch it yet.
04:43It's a power generator.
04:45It's not a power generator, is it?
04:46No, it's not.
04:47It's just a generator.
04:49I see.
04:50It's a generator.
04:53I see.
04:54It's a big building.
04:56That's right.
04:57It's a building where the staff who are in charge of the business are on duty.
05:02It's like Tokyo Station.
05:03That's right.
05:04It's like Marunouchi.
05:06Chiba Prison is one of the five prisons built in Meiji.
05:10It's one of the five major prisons in Meiji.
05:13It's a building with a history of more than 100 years.
05:18It was designed by Keijiro Yamashita.
05:22He learned architecture under Tatsuno Kingo, who built Tokyo Station.
05:26That's right.
05:28What kind of place is Chiba Prison?
05:31It's a facility that trains people for more than 10 years.
05:37It's a very serious crime.
05:40It's a so-called defenseless prison.
05:41That's right.
05:42Including people in the defenseless prison.
05:45It's a serious place.
05:48There are 59 prisons nationwide.
05:52Depending on the length of the sentence and the content of the crime,
05:57the location of the prison changes.
06:00Among them, Chiba Prison is a facility for long-term prisoners.
06:04It's heavy.
06:05There are more than 1,000 prisoners.
06:081,000?
06:09That's a lot.
06:10There are more than 1,000 facilities nationwide.
06:14There are 7 or 8 facilities.
06:16It's a big facility nationwide.
06:19It's a really big prison.
06:21Over 1,000 prisoners live in Chiba Prison.
06:25It's on the other side of the building on the right.
06:28It's on the other side of the building.
06:30It's on the other side of the building.
06:32It's finally time to go to the prison.
06:35This is...
06:36There are prisoners.
06:38We're not going to show you this area.
06:41We're going to show you this area.
06:46What kind of prison is this?
06:52I'm nervous.
06:54The people who committed the crime are here.
06:56That's right.
07:08They proceed to shoot carefully so as not to show the prisoners.
07:17We're going to show you the inside of the prison.
07:23Please be careful with the camera.
07:27I'm nervous again.
07:29The atmosphere is different.
07:31The prisoners are working and living here.
07:35Let's get ready.
07:37Please move to the wall.
07:39I'll put the camera back.
07:43We're in the prison.
07:46It's a very strict security.
07:51It's like a school.
07:53That's right.
07:55As I said earlier,
07:571,000 prisoners live here.
07:59They live here 365 days a year.
08:02There are various jobs for prisoners.
08:05There is a division called the disciplinary division.
08:08This division guides the lives of prisoners in detail.
08:14There are four major divisions in the prison.
08:18There is a general division for office work.
08:21There is a classification division for employment support after discharge.
08:25There is a medical division for hospitalization of prisoners.
08:29There is a disciplinary division for office work.
08:36There is a division for office work.
08:39As far as I can see, there are no prisoners now.
08:43Can I take a picture of you?
08:45You can take a picture of me.
08:48It's the first time on a variety show.
08:50What is the situation in the prison?
08:53I can see it.
08:57The prison is like this.
09:00That's true.
09:02You can walk or stand.
09:05Prisoners are in various places.
09:07There is a prison.
09:09That's right.
09:13And from here,
09:15The disciplinary division, Mr. Takeuchi, who communicates with the prisoners at the front line, guides them.
09:21The disciplinary division always guides the prisoners closely.
09:25That's why this job is dangerous.
09:30From here, we will show you various places where prisoners actually work.
09:35We will interview the prison officers there.
09:40I will guide you here.
09:42It's scary.
09:46So far...
09:51All right!
09:53I will report to you.
09:56First, Date asked...
09:59This is the 7th factory.
10:01What kind of facility is this?
10:03The 7th factory makes leather products.
10:07It is a factory where leather is processed and shoes and bags are made.
10:12Please refrain from filming inside.
10:15Date and I will go inside alone.
10:20Date was allowed to interview the minimum number of people because he was focused on his work.
10:29First, we take a frame from the leather and sew it.
10:35It's a full-fledged shoe factory.
10:40That's amazing.
10:42They do everything by hand.
10:47It's like a craftsman.
10:49Really?
10:51That's amazing.
10:53That's great.
10:55I didn't know they could make it like this.
11:02Date saw the prisoners' work closely.
11:05What was it like?
11:07It was like a craftsman.
11:10It was as if leather products were made by hand.
11:15He was curious about something about the prisoners.
11:20I don't make eye contact with anyone.
11:23I'm always focused on my work.
11:26When you're working as a prisoner, you have to be careful not to look around.
11:34If you don't look around, you might cut your finger or cut yourself.
11:44There's another important reason why prisoners work with their heads down.
11:50It's to protect themselves.
11:52When I open my eyes, I wonder why they're looking at me.
11:57It's to prevent trouble.
12:01I teach them to focus on their work and look at their hands.
12:05There's a lot of trouble.
12:07There's a product made at the factory under the guidance of a prison officer.
12:12Nice to meet you.
12:14Is this made at Chiba Prison?
12:17Yes.
12:18It's really high quality.
12:20It's called Makkei Seibo.
12:22I sew the bottom and the top together.
12:26I make about 2,000 pairs a year.
12:282,000 pairs?
12:29That's a lot of shoes.
12:31It says Chiba on the inside.
12:34What's the reputation of the shoes made at Chiba Prison?
12:38I got a good reputation.
12:41Where did you get that reputation?
12:42I sold them on the Internet.
12:44You bought them on the Internet?
12:45I got a lot of reputations.
12:47You got a lot of reputations?
12:48Chiba Prison is a facility that has a lot of long-term prisoners.
12:54The shoes made here are said to be of good quality because they are made with the skills of craftsmen.
13:04Date is curious about one of the shoes.
13:07Isn't this amazing?
13:09It's handmade.
13:10What's this?
13:11It's shiny.
13:12This is cool.
13:13It's a shoe for a manzai performance.
13:14I've been waiting for more than two years.
13:17I sew all the small details by hand.
13:19It's amazing.
13:20It's easy to sew.
13:22It's true.
13:23It's really high quality.
13:25It's really high quality.
13:27It's a hand-sewn well-cut shoe.
13:29How much is a shoe like that in a department store?
13:33It's hundreds of thousands of yen.
13:35It depends on the craftsman.
13:37200,000 yen, 300,000 yen, 400,000 yen.
13:39It takes a long time.
13:41I see.
13:42Originally, it costs hundreds of thousands of yen.
13:46It's a cool shoe.
13:47However, the prison is not for prostitution.
13:51High-quality shoes are popular if you buy them cheaply.
13:56Where do you sell shoes?
13:58If you go to Chiba Prison, there is a store where you can buy shoes.
14:05I see.
14:06You can go to the store.
14:08Can ordinary people go there?
14:09Yes, you can.
14:10Can we go there to buy shoes?
14:11Yes, you can.
14:12I see.
14:13You can buy these shoes.
14:15These shoes were made at Miyagi Prison.
14:19Have you ever seen a box-made shoe?
14:22I've seen it.
14:23It's amazing.
14:24It says Marugoku.
14:25That's right.
14:26It's really well-made.
14:28I see.
14:29I wonder if there are people who collect such shoes.
14:31There may be.
14:32I see.
14:33If you look at the quality of the shoes, you will be able to become a shoe craftsman.
14:40I think it's possible.
14:44After this, the camera can enter the forbidden place.
14:49Where is it?
14:51Now, let's take a look inside the factory.
14:55Now, we are working on the TV camera.
14:57We have a special permission.
14:59You can shoot as it is.
15:03Isn't it very rare to have a TV camera?
15:06That's right.
15:07I don't think it's anything other than a documentary.
15:10I see.
15:12For the first time in a variety show, permission to shoot at the factory.
15:17Are you watching this as a documentary?
15:19Yes.
15:21Let's go.
15:23Okay.
15:25The person wearing the green clothes is a trainee.
15:32For the first time in a variety show, the trainee enters the factory.
15:37This way?
15:38Yes.
15:39This is the 5th factory.
15:41I was in the 7th factory.
15:46Excuse me.
15:47Please.
15:49Okay.
15:53The person wearing the green clothes is a trainee.
15:57This is the 5th factory.
15:58There are 46 trainees.
15:59The number of trainees is currently 46.90.
16:01Okay.
16:0246.
16:04What was that scream?
16:06It's a personnel report.
16:09The prison officers always count the personnel of the trainees.
16:16When a director like me comes to patrol,
16:19I report the abnormal behavior and personnel.
16:21This is the room of the prison.
16:23It's a big problem if there are fewer people.
16:25That's right.
16:26Even if there is only one person.
16:27There is no one.
16:28Yes.
16:30By the way, what kind of work is this?
16:33This factory is called light work.
16:36For example, assembling a ballpoint pen.
16:40Peeling off the sticker on the hanger.
16:42It's a simple job.
16:45Here is a part of pottery.
16:47It's pottery.
16:48It's pottery.
16:49Yes.
16:50Pottery.
16:51Yes.
16:54He is working silently.
16:57He is old.
16:58Yes.
16:59I can feel his hands.
17:00He is a wheelchair user.
17:11Is the prison officer patrolling?
17:14Yes.
17:15He is in charge of this factory.
17:18He is in charge of the work to maintain the discipline and prevent trouble.
17:25He is nervous.
17:26People watching him are nervous.
17:27They can't relax even for a moment.
17:31Here is the thing that DATE is concerned about.
17:34What is this?
17:35This is called the desk.
17:39If you stand here, you can see the whole factory.
17:45This is a desk.
17:46This desk is like a holy place for us prison officers.
17:51When we become prison officers,
17:53we want to be in charge of this place.
17:56We want to be in charge of this place.
18:01I see.
18:02We want to be in charge of this place.
18:05He is in charge of the factory, which is in charge of 50 prisoners.
18:11He is in charge of the factory, which is in charge of 50 prisoners.
18:18There are a lot of relatively old things here.
18:22There is no trouble such as fights.
18:25On the contrary, there is a risk of a change in physical condition or a sick person.
18:31We are always careful not to miss a little sign.
18:37It's hard to notice this.
18:39It's hard to notice this.
18:40It's hard to notice this.
18:41There are a lot of elderly people this time.
18:44They were allowed to shoot in the factory.
18:47DATE saw this situation.
18:50There were a lot of elderly people.
18:55I feel lonely.
18:58It's been 60 years.
19:00It's been 60 years.
19:03I was in prison when I was 20 years old.
19:06I was in prison when I was 80 years old.
19:13I remember a lot of things.
19:16How many people are there?
19:19Two people.
19:20There are 1,000 prisoners, but there are only 300 prison officers.
19:24There are people in different departments, not just people who see it.
19:27There are people who are responsible for it.
19:32We are dealing with it before it happens.
19:45We have to stop young people from breaking the law.
19:50To be honest, I was really nervous.
19:53Even though I said I wanted to go, I've been really nervous for the past three days.
19:58Oh, so it's been three days since you were nervous?
20:01Yes, three days.
20:03I've put a lot of things into it.
20:06I remember when you said, who's going to play this?
20:08Yes, I remember.
20:10Next, what made you curious about Date?
20:14You know, the prison is always on patrol.
20:18Do you all do that?
20:20Yes, we do.
20:22We patrol the prison every night.
20:26That's scary.
20:27I'd like to show you a room in the prison.
20:30A room?
20:31Are you sure?
20:32We don't have time right now.
20:34Oh, I see. You're all working.
20:36Yes.
20:38A living room where prisoners spend most of their time.
20:43What does it look like?
20:48Is this how it looks from here?
20:50That's right.
20:51At first, there were five rooms like this.
20:54This is the fifth room.
20:57It's amazing how you can see from here.
21:00These are all different rooms, right?
21:01That's right.
21:03It's like a prison.
21:05Yes, it is.
21:06I had the impression that there were no windows.
21:11Do the windows open?
21:12Yes, the windows open.
21:16And then...
21:19There's an emergency bell.
21:20What kind of emergency is there?
21:23For example, a suicide.
21:27Oh, there's one.
21:31We're going to do our best to create that moment.
21:35That's great.
21:36It's wonderful.
21:40At the entrance to the building, they discover something interesting.
21:45There's an emergency bell.
21:47When the staff recognizes that there's an emergency,
21:49they press this to call for support.
21:53What kind of emergency is there?
21:56For example, when they find a suicide,
22:00or when a fight between prisoners begins.
22:05The emergency bell is attached to various places in the facility,
22:09including the factory we visited earlier.
22:12Oh, there's another one.
22:14If you stand here, you can see what's going on inside the factory.
22:19Of course, you can't do it alone.
22:21There are 40 people watching, and if one of them falls,
22:24you can't be the only one involved.
22:27So you press the emergency bell to call for support.
22:31It's a way to collect information on the situation.
22:34Isn't the emergency bell frequently used?
22:38Sometimes it's used three or four times a day.
22:42So it's a common emergency bell.
22:46It's different from the emergency bell we usually see.
22:49Yes, it is.
22:51When the emergency bell rings,
22:5350 firefighters, including the prison staff,
22:56rush to collect the situation.
22:5950 people.
23:02Next time, Date interviews the prisoners' accommodation.
23:07I didn't think there was a TV.
23:09I was surprised.
23:12In addition,
23:13I'm going to do my best to make that moment.
23:18We're getting closer to the prisoners' feelings.
