True Confessions. For those who complain about British law and order standards, Japan offers a vision of near paradise. Crime rates are low, conviction rates high, and the comparatively luxurious jails claim successfully to rehabilitate offenders. But is the price unacceptable? The police pry into virtually everything, those under suspicion are badly treated, with the stigma of arrest surpassing that of conviction in the west. As Gordon Brewer reports, there is a danger, too, that the crackdown on organised crime - the Yakuza - may backfire, if the old gangs are replaced by more ruthless and vicious newcomers.

Prisoner HC3970. Al is serving a nine-year sentence for rape and drug dealing. He has previous convictions for violence, but shows no remorse for his crimes.
This film chronicles three months in Al's treatment at
Grendon Underwood Prison, which offers therapy to prisoners. Can someone like Al with a lifetime of duplicity and violence benefit from therapy? If he cannot be helped by Grendon and is not proved to be mentally ill, he will return to the normal prison system, do his time and eventually be released into society to inevitably - by his own admission - commit again.
