Yuei Shiratori: As long as I want to go, there is no prison that can hold me
Born in 1907, Shiratori, living in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, grew up in a poor family, when he was two years old, his father unfortunately passed away, after the death of his father, his mother remarried to other places, but at that time did not take his son away, so he was abandoned by his mother and turned to his aunt and lived a life under the fence every day.
It is said that the child of the poor has long been in charge, and when he turned 17 years old, he had already found a job catching crabs on the ship. In the days of crab hunting, he not only has to withstand the wind and rain, but also to live a long-term life without day and night, no matter at any time, as long as there are fish and crabs in the net, he has to work hard, live in such an environment for a long time, but also let him train a muscle, because every time he goes to sea for a long time, in order to consume leisure time, so he often plays cards and gambles with fishermen, and slowly makes him addicted to drugs.
When he was 22 years old, with some savings from this job as a fisherman, he was introduced to marry a gentle and virtuous girl in the village, and after marriage they opened a fruit shop, originally thinking that they could live a happy and beautiful life, but because of the economic crisis, they had to close their small shops, in order to support their families, without any craftsmanship, he finally thought of gambling.
Since his luck was not very good and he owed a lot of debts, he chose the method of theft at the beginning. In 1933, he and his companion Ida went to a grocery store to steal, but after being discovered, in the process of fighting with the shopkeeper, in order to save Ida cut the owner, and then a few days later, the two people learned that the owner had been rescued to death, the police began to hunt them down, at this time Shiratori was in a hurry, soon, he found that there was no key evidence left at the scene, so the police could not find them for a while, thinking that this matter would pass, so he was particularly careful when he stole every time.
But just a year later, he was quickly caught by the patrol for destroying a warehouse, and he was originally released soon, but in the process of interrogation, because of the ghost in his heart, coupled with some things that he had been stealing in the past few years, he mistakenly thought that the case he had committed was discovered, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and after the police investigation, it was convenient for the conviction of murder, when he was put in prison, it was already his twenty-eight years old, and when he first entered prison, he was particularly obedient with a confessional mentality. However, after being transferred to Aomori Prison, his mentality changed a lot.
It turned out that the prison guards there were particularly inhumane, as long as the prisoners with the murders often scolded, and even locked them in a very bad condition of the cell, not allowed to go out to let the wind out. He kept banging on the cell door in protest, but unfortunately the prison guards simply ignored him, and the white bird, who felt that he had been abused, thought of escaping from prison, and the only way he could think of under the circumstances was effective protest.
But without the key, he had no chance to get the key, so he thought of another way to use the wire as the key. So he picked up a small piece of wire in the grass, felt particularly excited, after getting the wire, he often sneakily practiced the skill of unlocking the lock with the wire, and soon he opened the lock of the cell, choosing Peach No. Yuki, when the police found him, it was already around 5 a.m. on the 2nd day, only to find that he had escaped from prison, when in order to quickly search for him, 80% of the police in the entire Aomori Prefecture were dispatched, and the number of searchers reached thousands.
After several days of large-scale search, he was finally arrested, and after this capture, he also reflected on the reasons for the failure of the escape, because he was in too fast, did not plan a good route, and did not replenish sufficient food, so after being arrested and returned to prison, he said to the police, you should not abuse me anymore, otherwise you will escape, but at that time the prison guards did not take such words in their hearts, thinking that he did not have the ability to escape, but he did not know that he was not an ordinary prisoner.
Soon after, he finally ushered in a turnaround, after being transferred to a Tokyo prison, the prison director also interviewed him, but after this interview, he also made sure that he was not a cold-blooded person, there was still a chance to save, so he told the prison guards that he should treat Shiratori as an ordinary prisoner, and the prison guards were not allowed to discriminate against him. At that time, after listening to the words of the prison director, he said that he would honestly serve his sentence here and would not escape from prison again, but what people never expected was that after more than 4 years in prison, because of the war, he was transferred to Akita Prison at that time. Unexpectedly, the prison guards here are as unreasonable as the prison guards in Aomori. Coupled with his homicide and prison escape experience, he also became the object of intensive care and was locked up in a calm room.
Such a cell is obviously more guarded than an ordinary cell, simply walking into a room with walls on all sides, looking up to see rats, looking down to see cockroaches. Coupled with the fact that the lighting is not good, compared with other prisons, he also inadvertently has the idea of escaping from prison. After the idea of escaping from prison, he began to carefully observe the cell's every move. Finally found that the roof of the light can escape, in order to make sufficient preparations for escape, he picked up a small piece of iron when he first let the wind, made into a small saw, hoping to use the saw to see open the iron bar of the cell lighting roof, and then began to practice climbing, so that he could escape smoothly. Soon after he waited for a golden opportunity, quickly climbed up the wall, and with little effort, escaped from the lighting port, after escaping from prison, he stole a piece of clothing to change into a prison uniform, and purposefully fled along the railroad tracks in the direction of Tokyo, after learning the lessons of the last prison escape, he adopted the method of hiding during the day and acting at night, in order to ensure that there was sufficient physical strength, and whenever he walked through a period of time, he would look for food.
About a few months later, he knocked on the door of a family in Tokyo, and it was the prison director in Tokyo who saw him and said in surprise that after hearing the news that you had escaped, he earnestly said that he hoped that he would return to the previous Jingdong Prison and continue to serve his sentence. The warden was particularly anxious when he saw his appearance, and patted him on the shoulder and said, I will reflect everything you say to my superiors, thank you.
On the second day, the warden took him to the police station to turn himself in, and the warden expressed his request to him, after all, it was only a small prison director, but his request was rejected, but this time he was transferred to a more strict prison, the most famous Abashiri prison in Japan. This prison is full of repeat offenders, and this prison is also very distinctive. Because of the strict supervision of this prison, there has never been a jailbreak, but for Shiratori, he does not know this, in his mind will feel that after this time, he may be able to improve the conditions of the prison escape accordingly, but when he walks to this prison, he finds himself wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, after seeing this scene, he also understands that he is beginning to suffer again.
So he began to plan his escape, but the third escape shocked the whole of Japan, because his experience also caused a particularly large interaction in Japan, and the entire media began to report on his escape experience, but everyone could not guess how he did the third escape. It turned out that he used the leftover miso soup every day, poured on the iron lock of the shackles, used to corrode the iron, and after a long time, it would naturally loosen the bolts, and finally removed the handcuffs and leg shackles weighing up to 50 kilograms, and successfully used the method of dislocation of the whole body joints to drill out of the examination mouth.
But since this experience, he was imprisoned in Sapporo Prison, and also regarded him as a special dangerous prisoner, every day will arrange 4 prison guards to monitor his every move, even bathing, going to the toilet will be followed, even the prison guards think that he has the ability to escape from prison, but soon successfully escaped from under their eyes, this time he seems to have the ability to enter the heavens and the earth, from the bottom of the bed to escape.
However, he has been free in society for a long time, and has lived like a street rat for a long time, which also makes him feel particularly bored, and even has an unspeakable loneliness, just in January 1948, he saw a patrolling policeman, suddenly walked up to the police and said that he wanted to smoke, so the police gave him a lit cigarette, when he took a sip, he was suddenly moved to tears, feeling that he had not felt the warmth brought to him for a long time, just when this extreme darkness and panic, He felt that the world had given him another ray of light. When he finished smoking, he told the patrolman everything he had done, and when the patrolman listened, he couldn't believe what he was doing, and after he said it, he took the initiative to put his hands in front of the patrolman and expressed his willingness to put on handcuffs and continue to serve his sentence.
After his 4 prison escapes, he also made everyone understand one thing, in fact, in his mind, he wanted to get a mentality of being respected by others. Since then, after returning to JD Prison, he has done everything very well, so he was quickly reduced and released from prison early. At the moment of his release from prison, there was a particularly indescribable expression on his face, and even he wrote an autobiography of his experience and published it, which once again caused a sensation and hot discussion in Japan. Sadly, he died in February 1979.
