@@stevenbeattie5211 haha you would think so but I must say your story is really Intresting and like no other. I respect you for releasing the book for the families of other British prisoners in Japan 🙏🏻
I just served 18 years in Albanian prison for drug smuggling, I had stuffed roughly 7 kilos of cocaine up in my sphinx cavity , it was scary at first but by 1 or 2 weeks I owned that prison , everybody was my bitch, I'm kinda a big deal ..
Last Comment, not a book reader, but when in Thailand a South African Mate said read "The Damage Done ! " Great channel this, I keep listening to the stories !
Thoroughly enjoying this one, can identify with a lot of those fears and paranoias. Seems like a good lad, and an engaging storyteller. And yes, when you're working, everyone's a copper.
My name is Stuart Loynton .. end of 2004 ,I too spent 3yrs in Osaka prison Japan.. my story is similar to this guy .. I could tell you some stories of my time in the Japanese prison system .. How can I get in touch and relay my story to you all
The worst is Japanese death row (they still have it). No set date. Could be anytime. They show up and say, okay, today. No buildup or preparation. Anytime.
A favourite saying.. "stories happen to those who can tell them" ..(imho) Steven, Chet, Macmillan (and others whose names one forgets) define this. As always, thanx to all for such great content 🕉
Japanese prison sounds very tough indeed, but having seen and heard about Thai, Brazilian and a whole host of third world prisons (including the United States to an extent) where overcrowding, murdering, rioting, drug use and disease are rife, the Japanese ones then appear like heaven in comparison. Your own individual cell, clean living, no drugs, half decent food, and especially no murdering, raping and rioting, seems legit to me.
Some Thai prisons are like living in motel if you have cash.. same with a few third world country prisons. But fuck a brazil prison or places known for super overcrowding
@@thestewozshow7042 really enjoyed the podcast mate. I was involved with the silkroad early on. Got out while it was good. When I watch podcasts like yours I see how lucky I was not to be caught. I hope you're doing well, take care mate!
Always great shows these shaun thanks for creating them . This one was interesting as are all , great to see what sort of things really go on in the world
Wasn't it nice when he said he wouldn't send the girl to get the bag because if she wasn't a cop, she was innocent and he didn't want her to take the fall.
This was a fascinating story. I think it’s really great that he’s here chatting with everyone in the comments. Stand up guy. Good luck man. I’m glad you’re free!!
steven beattie - some things are probably best forgotten. I'm a sober alcoholic (8yrs) and a friend of mine from AA was living and working in Japan during the height of his alcoholism. He said that anytime he hears Japanese, he immediately starts thinking about sake (his drink of choice) and that it's a trigger for his cravings. He was/is fluent in Japanese but it's not good for his sobriety to speak/hear it. He had to leave Japan to get sober and get his life together so his brain and his disease associate Japanese with alcohol. Fascinating stuff, that. I could totally relate to you dropping your voice to a whisper as you were telling your story! Shawn said it perfect, "programmed to whisper!"
How would your response be if the exact same guy was locked up on false accusations of domestic violence or sexual assault or rape or pedopilia or human/sex trafficking ?
Have now watched about five of these - Joey Barnett being the best, this being a close second...listening avidly to every second. Interesting to hear the contrast between the japanese penal system (without the threat of rape or violence, but the extreme psychological torture of scarce human interaction and stringency). Fascinating.
Shaun, stumbled upon you with your xtc story. Man, those days were good and it's not the same. I love your podcast and your interviews. Been sharing your videos with my old school rave friends, from the late 90's. Anyways, cheers to you friend and big love and respect from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA 😁👊❤🌠
The Japanese are clear about the consequences of stepping outside the accepted norms, however they do not seek to monetise the prison system at the expense of prisoners, unlike the UK and the US.
It is nobody's fault, nothing can be done. I can only understand about 25% of Mr. Beattie's story due to the thick English brogue. Sometimes with Irish or Scottish documentaries, you feel this, so they have English subtitles.
I've watched this at least 8 times, gotta be my favourite podcast.... Great story Steven fantastically told my friend good luck with whatever you do in life brother
I made it through the whole 2 hours, Steven is a really great storyteller. Even the most trivial points that add to the story, told in a fascinating way. Really enjoyed it.
@@danieloliver4558 you know what happens when you do with cocaine? the horrible crimes will be past cause cocaine comes all from one place and the people are all truly beyond fucked up. Its a monopol that everyone would be glad to get rid off. lsd, dope and other drugs can be made by small teams or alone, so they are are all in east europe and there is rarely a problem with violence. cocaine should be legal and quality approved.
Well they aren’t exactly hard to get now with them being illegal, extremely high prices for poor quality product with the money going to horrible violent gangs doing little if any good with people often having to commit crimes to support their habit. The drug war hasn’t done any good, at least in the US drugs are cheaper, stronger, and more plentiful now than before. You’d have to be borderline retarded to support it, and it’s strange that people look back at alcohol prohibition, at all the problems that it caused but don’t equate that with other drugs.
To Steven Beattie: I'm glad you're home, brother! I spent almost 2 years in Fuchu. It was really bad. I felt as though I would never leave that place alive. I was in Factory 5.
Yo bro it's me P Dogg , remember when we pinned down that fool in C yard and we just punished his sphinx i, his O ring looked like raw hamburger lolol good times bruh
Just finished this one. Really good. No over the top sensationalised crime stories designed to make him seem cool no glorification of stupid stuff. Just good story telling in an interesting context. The silence of Japanese prisons sounds kind of maddening but also peaceful in a way that UK prisons don't. Maybe in a way it's good for people, sort of meditative.
Steven, you are such a natural story teller, even though your experiences were harrowing, you found great humour amongst it all, and relay it so well. The Epi/Upi(sp?) stories had me rolling haha... I hope you write a book, go on the speaking circuit, and start your own UA-cam channel, you would be so successful as your talent for story telling, coupled with humour is so entertaining. I even abandoned my chores, and laid under a blanket on the sofa, to watch and listen, whereas usually my attention span is very low. Even though it pales in comparison, I used to work at a Japanese bank (Mitsubishi in Broadgate, London) and chatting was frowned upon, just head down. After I went to the loo, the manager asked me if I was sick, as she'd timed how long i spent away from my desk, and it was her way of telling me I'd taken too long. Fk that, I left within 2 weeks, I'll be damned if I'll let anyone treat me like a child or a robot. Wish you all the best Steven, and hope to hear/see more of you in the future...🤗 And to Shaun, credit to you for always letting your guests tell their stories without interruption 👍
Thanks Shaun, great interview. Bit of a correction, Steven mistook this, maybe forgot. Opia means breasts, dekai opai means big breasts, ippai means a lot or full. Great Podcast. I have been living in Japan for 18 years and can attest to the things he said and experienced.
yeah mate I never used them words again although I did learn to read and write at a very basic level. Its a shame that I'm banned from Japan its a fascinating country and would of loved to go back there in the real world not the prison lol
I have to disagree with you, there's a few of these colourfuly sad stories worldwide..once a Uni student became a drug-mule to pay off his brothers drug debt...he was caught and was executed, he was a normal citizen who made a bad choice.
I agree that a high percentage of drug mules are silly and looking for money...that being said there is some interesting happening s in this weird and wonderful world of our.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I had a guy ask me to hold a bag with $5,000 in it, while I was waiting for my bus in a Greyhound station in Chicago. I didn't get caught up in a similar situation because I told him to put it in a locker and have a nice day. I agree with you he's a normal bloke that made a bad decision, it could happen to anyone... who hasn't learned to watch for the signs of dangerous decisions.
Loved this podcast. Seems like a top bloke. Hearing a Japanese account is mad lol pretty stupid too smuggle into Japan though Steven! Japanese are madly organised. The tug of war story is fascinating, would make a quality film I reckon.
My Columbian mate in there said he'd been in prison all over the world and said Fuchu was the worst simply because it was like extreme kinder garden is how he put it
the whispering causes no problems what so ever and adds to the suspense and immersion of his stories, why do you have to act like a screw and tell him how to talk to you?
