Behind Bars Season 4 - Episode 3: Taichung Men´s Prison, Taiwan | 4K Prison Documentary
Behind Bars: Philippines - New Bilibid Prison: • Behind Bars: Philippin...
The Taichung Men´s Prison is the biggest and toughest prison in Taiwan. It houses four and a half thousand inmates. Among them some of the most dangerous criminals of 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.

Generally speaking, Taiwan is a very safe place, ranks right up there as among the safest. But of course, criminals are everywhere. But I wonder if it’s a particular stigma, a stain of dishonor in a country that’s known for its good record? Is rehabilitation a priority? Well, this prison certainly has a certain points system to deal with the prisoners on the inside. Enjoy peeps.

They shouldn't

I remember teaching English in Taiwan. I was assigned to a rather “tough” school; those where kids come from lower income families. The kids are tamed compared to inner-city schools in the States. The kids in Taiwan acted tough and they were tough but I always envisioned putting them in an inner city school in the States. It would for sure scare them straight.

And their meals are only one spoonful of cooked kashavar every single day and sometimes they only get one meal a day. There is no question for space they stack one after another while they sleep. Around 200 inmate share 1 toilet . People die of malnutrition of starvation. Some inmates wait 4 years for their trial. Just imagine how tought that prison would be

It was a bit "nostalgic" to see "Darlie" toothpaste (at 24:10). I've been in Taiwan a couple times, and also visit Asian markets in the US. Back in 1981 during my first trip, I saw "Darkie" toothpaste, and the picture was of a Black man with a wide grin and wearing a top hat. I laughed when I saw it, but the people in Taiwan didn't quite understand why I thought it was funny, so I tried to get them to realize that such a item would be seen as supportive of racial stereotypes. The name was eventually changed to "Darlie" with the man's appearance changed. I bought a tube of Darkie toothpaste back to the US, and when I showed it to a physician, he laughed but then mentioned that of the three main racial groups, the east Asians tend to have the worst dentition while the Black people tend to have the best, so the "marketing message" may be that if a person in Taiwan uses this toothpaste, then this may result in having excellent dentition--like that of a Black person.

A tame maximum security prison is evidenced by the guards being able to keep striking weapons on them. Even officers working minimum and medium security facilities in the US feature unarmed guards, except the special operation response teams, lest their weapons be turnt against them. Also, escape from a penitentiary on a tiny, well populated island who's nearest neighbor is super hostile wouldn't be pragmatically possible regardless of the thickness of the walls.

They shouldn't be so cramped up and endure bad air quality inside their cells, they should be allowed more 'yard time', I didn't see any mentions of educational programs (as in, school), etc. 24/7 surveillance - very questionable. The loss of freedom should be the penalty in itself - adding to that should not be the purpose.

If they had the really bad criminals, then this would be a different story. But since most of them are on the lower end, it is honestly pretty fair. The prison is pretty nice but still has punishments/limitations to correct behavior, the prisoners and guards seem to be on good terms (compared to other places where it's a mini war), etc. The boredom/isolation sucks but is a fair punishment. I think this is a good standard of prison and prisoner. More low threat prisons should be like this.
