Abstract
Among the results of Japan's preference for dispositional options other than imprisonment are a relatively low imprisonment rate, differences in the basic characteristics of Japanese and American prisoners, and differences between the sexes in Japanese prisons. From a comparative perspective, the paper considers several aspects of the situation in Japan: the relatively low priority of gender issues, certain trends stimulated by policy changes that influence the incarceration of women, the increase in the number of women prisoners attributable to stimulant-drug offenses, and the management of women in confinement.
