First of all, I will think of quarrels and fights between prisoners in Hong Kong movies, revenge or escape from prison.

But I'm actually more interested in daily life than fighting and killing people, such as when to eat and when to sleep.

Among many works depicting prison life, Japanese cartoonist Kazuichi Hanawa's cartoon "In Prison" contradicts the tradition of exaggerating violence and describes in detail the daily diet, labor and other details of many Japanese prisoners, especially prison meals. Even because its movie of the same name stars YUTAKA MATSUSHIGE, it is called the prison version of "Lonely Gourmet".

At the beginning of the cartoon, prison uniforms are recorded in detail, and basically even underwear can be rationed by the prison.

Just chasing the Japanese drama "The Princess in Prison" (Qiang Amway! It seems that some scenes can still be right ~

Generally, it is a multi-person dormitory, with about 5-6 people sharing it.

If you break the rules in prison, you will be put in a dark room. However, the author thinks that in a dark room, there is no barbed wire in the window and the urinal is painted with white paint, which feels better than the detention center.

Prison life is regular and rigid, with a lot of rules-for example, no exchange of contact information; After leaving the gate, you must act according to the prescribed steps; Every action needs to be reported first, such as going to the toilet or picking up an eraser; When taking a shower, you need to follow the designated seating chart. All violations of the rules may affect parole or prison welfare, such as not watching TV. The cartoon also describes that prisoners who live together are locked in a dark room because they play crossword puzzles. If they show a little impatience with prison management, they will be taken away for trial immediately.

What is there to look forward to in a boring and well-behaved prison life?

That is, food is the most important thing for the people-the author spent a lot of pen and ink describing prison meals in detail, from ordinary three meals a day, to a rich New Year's Eve dinner, to snacks in movie activities. No wonder this book gives people the impression that "prison meals are delicious". After all, this is the only "desire" that can be expected in a life without freedom and privacy.

"I cooked more meals, and I was so happy."

"I am so happy to eat delicious food."

"I am also happy when I think of New Year's Eve."

Even prisoners can continue to experience such primitive and simple happiness, but there are still many innocent people who can no longer feel it.

I think anyone who can feel the same way will feel uncomfortable when I think of the Jiangge case that I have been paying attention to. A fresh life, an ordinary girl like you and me: a girl who likes Lan, has never been in love, and is brave and straightforward. However, I will never taste rice and dessert again, and even trivial little expectations have long since disappeared with life. The prisoner may enjoy delicious food in prison and be satisfied with the piece-rate salary, and even he can continue reading and get a certificate from it. ...

Yes, he is still alive.

But the deceased has long been deprived of all possibilities.

In prison, do prisoners reflect on themselves?

I don't think so.

The author's reaction in the cartoon is worth pondering. Is it self-deprecating or mocking the environment?

Life is calm and boring. I can eat, sleep and eat. I don't have to do anything strenuous, and I sleep more. Even the author feels like a "pig".

A group of imprisoned and numb pigs.

But do pigs feel guilty?

Since the Jiangge case, it is inevitable that this cartoon will be substituted again. It's sad to think that cunning criminals can still eat tuna, boiled rice cakes with red beans, chocolate and so on, while kind and upright people can no longer feel the humble expectations in life.

Of course, when Mr. Hua Lun painted this, he didn't want to express this direction. He laughed at himself that prisoners are pigs and prisons are inhuman pigsty, but I think some people are quite willing to be a numb pig, so that he can escape the condemnation and reflection of conscience.
