- Inside Taiwan's Biggest Men Prison | Taichung, Taiwan | Free Doc Bites
The Taichung Men´s Prison is the biggest and toughest prison in Taiwan. It houses four and a half thousand inmates. Among them are some of the most dangerous criminals in the whole country. Over a hundred life sentences alone and more than a thousand prisoners are serving sentences of twenty years or more.
Monotony, confinement and around the clock video surveillance everywhere dictate the lives of the inmates. Only one time a week the inmates are allowed to spend time on the yard.
The prison works with what is known as progressive correctional treatment. This means that prisoners are divided into four levels. The better a prisoner behaves, the higher their level. And this determines, for example, how many packs of cigarettes a prisoner can buy and how often he is allowed to have visitors. The most important thing, however, is that the length of imprisonment is reduced with each level obtained. For most prisoners, this is a good reason to cause as little trouble as possible.

Not only do i like the rehab side of it, its system is run via good behavior/respect and you get rewarded by ciggys and visits , simple , love it !!
So go to china and get arrested if you love it so much.
Incredibly impressed with this prison... Humane and organised compared to some other countries
Awesome system. Rehabilitation, low recidivism. Well done, australia can learn from this.
This is the most "not so hardcore" prison that I have ever seen.
So much law and order.
Watch a Japanese one
This is how most prisons should be for less violent crimes. Even though it's a form of slave labor but at least you can get sentence reduce, contribute to society, and some benefits for good behavior. These are smugglers which are very crafty people so I get why the surveillance 24/7.
Forced labor should be mandatory to anyone convicted.
@@LtVictorNah slavery is wrong regardless
Prisons should be for rehabilitation, not punishment, except for the relatively small number of people who can't be rehabilitated, like psychopaths.
Is no one mentioning how amazing his art is at 8:00 ?
Ikr !!!
Thinking the same thing!!!
Guy is a very talented artist.
8 grown men in the cell and if any of them unleashes some fury on the toilet, then they all have to suffer and with the poor ventilation, that stench is going to stick around for awhile...
Courtesy flush is mandatory
Imagine being in a room a fraction of the size with just one other person. That’s American prison. Other countries are likely to fill 4 or more people in the same size space too
Considering their daily diet I doubt that’s often a issue tbh.
Damn this looks an average hostel in India.
mainland chlna too
Lol looks like a better life than India. At least they are hygienic 😂
Way better than any house in india 🤣 no cows no poop no diarrhoea no scams and no smell 😂
Because Indian is third world country 😮💨
dude indian hotels are worst. this prison is still better than those
When a 70 year old prisoner says, it's not as bad as I thought it would be, you know it's a good prison.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
that's when you realize bad people just get sent to some hostel
Amazing 🎨❗
WOW! What an incredible system ! Western countries could benefit from studying this model and adapting it to our own prisons !
They would never. There is way too much money to be made in the United States industrial prison complex
Our prisoners would kidnap the guards and take it over. Lol. They don't know how to act.
Just say america. Usually when people talk about ”west” they mean america 90% of the time.
Western mentality too defiant and disrespectful
False, the prison system isn't applied for rehabilitation... its for pure profit
At least they have beds/mats, singapore prisons dont have beds i think
Nope. Just a straw mat. No pillow or blanket. I saw that Singapore prison video. It was pretty hard to watch. I felt claustrophobic just watching it. They were surprisingly well behaved though. I think I would lose my mind within the first week. I don’t know how they are able to keep their cool. I don’t think they were even convicted of violent crimes. It’s crazy to me but seems like maybe a cultural thing. In my country that is unheard of. You need to have done something really bad to get so much isolation. Even then they still get a bed and a tv at least
😮
I think they may put you in solitary confinement too. It may depend on the crime. More space in a Taiwanese cell but you must share it with other people. It seems the Singapore experience is much harder when you factor in the bed issue like no real mattress. I think 2 blankets and no pillow. Maybe no fan or air conditioning?? They give you very little to work with too -- minimal things.
@@haydenwilliamson6747 If you're talking about the CNA video, they were convicted for violent crimes. Solitary cells are much better for them. They can sleep better knowing they won't get stabbed in their sleep. I don't think not having beds is that big of a problem. Honestly, the biggest problem is they don't have access to fans in their cells. Singapore is near the equator and it's hot and humid throughout the year.
Singapore is the third world
That man’s paint skills is unbelievable.
"My favorite line" In good relationship with the prisoner is important to us. we try to get to know them as well as possible. understand how they think how they feel that we can better recognize what is wrong or something bothering of them. This small island country the people have a ❤ of gold and this is also i observe as i work here in 5 years i really love taiwan the people is very kind, approchable and one thing very diciplined honest. Sometimes i wonder how far the philippines in order or about attitude because in my country they will not respect you if you are belong to a poor family such i experienced where ever i go..thats why i work very hard to earned more more money to provide my family it hurts to watch any of your family member to harras anybody because of your poor livelihood.
Ang bait naman ng taiwanese people kahit kriminal at nakakulong pero trinatrato pa rin nila ng tama dito sa pinas pag mahirap ka at walang - wala aapihin ka daig pa kriminal na nakapatay ang tingin sayo...
願上帝與你同在
Inday, thanks for your service while you worked in Taiwan! I hope you will revisit it!💗
wheres the full episodes
Taiwan follows Japanese system. Japan prisons does this too
It is absolutely interesting that they actually imprisoned the military officer. Here in the U.S. they sweep military crimes under the rug.
5 years and he won’t give his identity or his crimes? I just assume chomo, although I dunno what their laws are like over there for that.
Wonderful
if you can film it, it means it is not bad. Those that are not allowed to film are inhumane. like DRapchi and Gutsa in Tibett
It is not so bad.
That's true but this prison is also less offensive charges. None of them are murderers or anything, but sold drugs or smugglers.
@@la8ball or spoke any truth about CCPs?
Yep, nobody is going let anyone film the bad areas of the prison system LOL.
@@MetalsirenIXI spoken like jackie chan
Amazing art
Great. iformative vid! Thank you!
In developed countries, dont do crime because most of us outside have it easy already.
Dont succumb to greed, be a good honest person and exercise discipline
I cannot say the same for developing countries.
I lived in Taiwan for years, overall it is a very safe place.
Looks like Singapore dorm for south Asian labor workers😅
10:30 am I tripping or is the solitary better than the 8 people living together
The translation with the painter guy was so far off I wonder if they just made it up 😂
Interesting
Imagine all the dragon heads in there. Guess who's on the floor and who is on the bed?
what if you got no privacy in the eyes of the public aswell does it count as jail time ??
That guy looks like Steven... I couldn't get "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!" out of my head while watching this😂
Steven the greeter from Walmart in Markham, Canada.
I don't know anything about US prisons but it's clear Taiwanese prisons are superior to Colombian prisons. Staying busy - having something constructive to do even if it's repetitive - is gold!
Hanging around in a crowded and uncomfortable concrete yard with absolutely nothing to do all day, day after day, is a recipe for disaster. Ultimately the inmates will create something to do - like fights, extortion, drugs, self-mutilation, suicide, etc.
Just like living in a hostel
Except for the part where they washed their dishes in the shower / toilet area.
Their isolation wing/solitary, is pretty clever and more humane than what happens in USA that's for sure.
Guard looks like kid with a golden arm
Jails better than the ones in Virginia you couldn’t even see outside
show this to the trouble kids at
early age
Mr chan doing supermans lmao
Life looks hard in there.
To hard !
CRAZY HOW PEACEFUL AND LENIENT 🤯🤯🤯🤯🫠🫠🫠🫠
This is a holiday. Free food free housing free security. Im proud to be a Taiwanese😂
In the USA the jails be like that the USA prisons much worse
1:16 im sorry, what?
Wow. looks 5 star hotel compare to ph prison
Imagine having to poop in front of the whole room. Mortifying!
American prisons ( contracted out to private ownership ) cost the government US$80,000/expense a year to " keep " ONE prisoner because it is a superb money-making business for the owner of the jail. Most male prisoners live like a Boss; even women can be provided for their pleasure if they have the money to spend!
ke wenzhe and company Taichung jail welcome you to sit for a long time
that high ranking military will be called upon like solid snake. lols
🤣🤣🤣
They have a hose???? Lol
This one time when I was in Japan, they made me eat all this salty gross stuff. It wasn't too bad.
Better than the US...almost no violence ? Clean
seen much worse, this is like a hotel in comparison
wow
Still they have good foods to eat, crimes make them get the prices they had done, prayers for to lead a good behaviours to give the publics good images of them if they get a parole and lead good models to follow
I wonder what the 🦎 did to be in isolation...
Doesnt look that bad, theyre even allowed to keep manga.
Please make a video on india 😂😂❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
30 dollars a month that's more than I made in prison in 2006
I made 8.50 a month with state pay
Where's the full vid?
This is very much like American prisons.. ours might even be worse
Id rather be ther then 🇺🇸
The translation into english is selective and trash. Very misleading
all in for drugs, what a waste
lol this is the “toughest”? come to the philippines 😂
This works in Taiwan because of Taiwanese culture, how homogenous it is, and the fact that it's a tiny island of only 23 million people. This would never fly in the US. 😂
Tiny island, “ of only” shows me all I need to know 🤡
US prison system is private run, acting as slave labour for agricultural and mining firms reform inmate welfare aren't exactly their priority
At 6:20 you clearly see his eyes reading a script the whole time line for line
Hope theyre ok (Theyre def not ok)
Prisons should have better conditions! For a start, one man per cell. Table, chair, bed. Treat people properly.
sure. just pay more taxes
Lol no wonder Americans pay so much in taxes
Who’s going to pay for that ?
@@rongold7719 not him apparently.
