643. Hiroshima Juvenile Training School

In 2002 a number of teachers at this reform school was arrested due to allogations of violence conducted upon the teenagers contained at the facility.

One of the sources states:

One of them is suspected of showering a 17-year-old boy with cold water and forcing him to wear a paper diaper in front of his friends.

Another allegedly shoved a detergent container into the mouth of a 16-year-old boy, saying, “Swallow this and die.” A third allegedly hit a 17-year-old in the face, kicked him and then caused him to become incontinent by refusing to allow him to use the bathroom.

It could not have been fun to be there as a teenager
