Elders commit crime every day to go to jail in this country

A fear is born when he heard the name of the prison around the world, but in Japan it means something else between the elderly. Many elderly people here deliberately commit crime so they can go to jail. It may sound strange to hear, but it becomes a serious social problem. Why do the elderly crimes commit? Many elders in Japan commit small crimes from their own will. Their goal is to go to jail and not run away from the law. Reason? Neglecting the elderly: distance from families and emotional isolation. A lack of loneliness and lack of care: Sahara becomes less for the elderly in society. Free facilities: Food, medical facilities and care are available for free in prison. The prison has become ‘cute home’, in some jaundies of Japan, especially the number of elders is constantly increasing. Elderly people get medical support in prison. Security personnel play responsibility for changing diapers, ministry of food and physical care. Here, the elderly have a reverent life and social involvement. In such a situation, many elderly people began to consider prison as a better option for themselves. A look at the figures in 1997, 1 out of every 20 criminals was elderly. Today, 1 out of every 5 criminals are the elderly. The total population of Japan is about 12.68 crore, of which more than 3.5 crore people are over 65 years. About 2,500 elders have been sentenced to prison for the past 2 years. It simply means that together with aging a strange tendency in crime rates is seen. Warning to society, this tendency is not only for Japan, but for all the countries where the number of elderly people is rapidly increasing. Families are forced to take such steps due to distribution, economic dependence, emotional emptiness, all these reasons. What could be a solution? Strong social security system for the elderly. Improvement in quality and number of homes in age. Responsibility of family and society: Do not leave the elderly alone. Government schemes: What can make them confident and safe. Conclusion is a sign of social failure in Japan to deliberately crime by the elderly. It is not only the story of data, but is the story of the faces that made society slowly alone. In such a situation, it is important that we focus on such issues in our country in time, so that our elders can live life with dignity and affection – not within the prison walls, but in the family boundary.
