Japanese prison food as illustrated by Hanawa Kazuichi in his graphic novel, Doing Time.

If only food in US jails was this grand!

yeah, I do like Tatsumi! but i like the art more than the stories... the stories are very negative towards women... it gets a little depressing. :)

yesyes! his newer book i think is a bit more "positive" in that regards, but i also keep in mind they were written in the 60s and he is a bit of an old timer himself...

Some of my former co-workers got caught up in this whole drug thing last year and ended up doing some time in Japanese prison. According to one of them, the food consisted of only cold miso soup and rice Saturday through Thursday and then warm miso soup and rice on Friday. Needless to say, he lost a lot of weight.
