Former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn recently was held in the Tokyo Detention House, which looks like a high-security prison. Most of its inmates, however, are like Ghosn: they are being held there but have not been convicted of a crime. Japan has a system that often refuses bail while suspects await trial. Law enforcement officials may hold suspects for months. Many international observers have criticized this system calling it, “hostage justice.” International reporters got a rare tour of the plain, but orderly detention building on Monday. They were shown the floors that do not house detainees, or inmates. Each cell is for one inmate. It has a toilet, bedding, a shelf and a sink. A window looks out into a small area of sky. Simple meals of rice and soup with a small piece of meat or fish are served out of a sliding window. Ghosn spent more than 100 days at the detention center over several separate detention periods. He says he is innocent of financial crimes.
