#28 Is he healthy or in need of care?

The Tokyo Detention House literally monitors our father 24-hours a day.  It is impossible for them not to recognize his complete blindness, particularly if there is a physical examination.

The Tokyo Detention House forced our father to use a wheelchair in April 1996.  It was because he is unable to walk like a healthy person, requiring employees' assistance as well as more time to move.  The Detention House rejected the wish of our father who desired to walk, telling him that he needs to use a wheelchair as long as he is unable to walk in the same way as other prisoners.

It might be hard to imagine this for people who have a normal life, but opportunities to walk is very important for those imprisoned in a detention house.  Nevertheless, our father was forced to use a wheelchair as a disabled person and deprived of his important "feet".

On the other hand, if they publicly consider our father as having vision rather than being "blind", they can impose a penalty any time on the grounds of his unwillingness to do the same things as healthy people.

Regarding the incident when our father was punished because he flushed the toilet at night, it seems like there is always someone who uses the flushing device of a toilet at night according to someone else at the Tokyo Detention House who said that he should not be "punished because of this".  If this is true, our father was falsely accused and punished.
