In most of the world, indiscipline and bad behavior in the prison will get you beaten, unofficially in Australia, officially in Japan. (Yes, *corporal punishment*, gasp, oh the horror).
Umm, minor point, but just for my personal clarification, are you sure there's corporal punishment in Japan? I seem to remember that during this whole Singapore thing, Japan was often raised as a model of a society with Singaporean crime rates and no corporal punishment.
