2. Dietary Rules and Regulations Everyone eats the same meals at the same time. Exchanging food between inmates is strictly prohibited to prevent hierarchical relationships. Calorie content varies (1,300-1,600 kcal) based on work assignments, not physical size.

6. Interesting Cultural Note Unlike other countries, Japan doesn't have a "last meal" system for death row inmates due to same-day execution notices. Fresh sweets are offered on an altar instead.
