Listening to 10 days extension, I was thrown into the abyss of despair.
I had believed the judge. I had cooperated with the investigation. I had explained everything. I would be sent back to the cell and live there for 10 more days!
I was confused.
“That’s all,” said the judge.
What? What is that? My mind became a complete blank. I came back to the waiting room. A man came in with a document written as “Not permitting a meeting”. According to the man, that means forbidding me meeting anyone except a lawyer. I didn’t understand the reason why I couldn’t meet my loved ones or write letters to them.
“Why not?” I strained my voice.
The man replied coldly, “Obey what is written.”
Something broke down in my mind.
I have kept controlling myself so far. “I need nothing like this.”
I refused the document

About Me
- oguro
- I am a 34 year-old man of Tokyo birth. After finishing schools in Saitama, at the age of 18 I was employed by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). I worked for the Company as a station staff, a conductor and a driver. My hobby is playing basketball. If I catch a cold, I can recover from my disease by reading “Slam-dunk” (popular comics on basketball). The most favorite scene is in Vol. 31. Of course I also take a medicine. On holidays from work, I play with my kids. I am a normal citizen. However, I was arrested and detained for 344 days at the age of 29. In the jail cell next door a secretary of the Foreign Ministry who had been suspended from his job because of indictment was also detained. I associate with him now.
