This is the Tokyo Detention Center near my home in Katsushika-ku. The building always reminds me of the Immigration Bureau in Shinagawa. Click here to read an interesting account of a foreigner’s experience here, or visit this National Police Agency page with photos of the inside.

Hey, I recently just spent time in Shinagawa detention center. Funnily enough this picture brings back strangely fond memories hahaha who would have thought? I was in there for three months before being deported back to Australia but during my time there I made amazing friends from all around the world, some who in my time were granted visas and returned to society and others who left to go back to their home countries. Also the guards were so funny and nice to us!
