Women's Guidance Home - Fujinhodoin

Japanese: 婦人補導院 - ふじんほどういん
Women's Guidance Home - Fujinhodoin

A correctional facility under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice that accommodates women aged 20 or older who have committed crimes under Article 5 (solicitation, etc.) of the Anti-Prostitution Law and have been subject to guidance under Article 17 of the same law, and provides the necessary guidance to rehabilitate them. In April 1958, three women's guidance facilities were established in Hachioji, Tokyo, Sakai, Osaka, and Fukuoka under the Women's Guidance Home Act. However, due to a decrease in the number of inmates, the Osaka Women's Guidance Home ceased operations in 1971 and the Fukuoka Women's Guidance Home in 1975, and both were abolished in 1985. As of 2019, only the Tokyo Women's Guidance Home, which moved to the International Legal Affairs Center in Akishima, Tokyo in April of the same year, is still in operation. The maximum detention period is six months. Under a disciplined lifestyle, lifestyle guidance and vocational guidance are provided to help women give up prostitution and find legitimate employment, and medical care is also provided for mental and physical disabilities that hinder rehabilitation. Many of the inmates of women's guidance homes were victims of poverty, but since 2010 only four new inmates have been admitted, and as of October 2019 (Reiwa 1), there are zero inmates.

Japanese:

売春防止法第5条(勧誘等)の罪を犯し、同第17条の規定により補導処分に付された20歳以上の女子を収容して、これを更生させるために必要な補導を行う法務省管轄下の矯正施設。1958年(昭和33)4月、婦人補導院法に基づいて、東京都八王子市、大阪府堺(さかい)市、福岡市の3か所に設置されたが、収容人員の減少に伴って、1971年に大阪婦人補導院、1975年には福岡婦人補導院が業務を停止し、1985年に両院とも廃止された。2019年(平成31)時点では同年4月に東京都昭島市の国際法務総合センター内に移転した東京婦人補導院だけが業務を行っている。収容期限は6か月。規律ある生活のもとで、売春による生活を断念させ正業につけるよう、生活指導および職業補導を行い、あわせて更生の妨げとなる心身の障害に対する医療を行う。婦人補導院の被収容者は、貧困の犠牲者が多かったが、2010年以降新たに収容された者は4名のみであり、2019年(令和1)10月の時点の被収容者はゼロである。
