Japanese prisons get makeover

"Black and white striped pyjamas and yellow-green uniforms were also criticised as "lacking brightness." The psychologists recommended they be replaced with mint green and pale blue outfits, to give prisoners a more positive outlook"

Umm...no this isn't a joke...

Is Martha Stewart involved in this?

She's probably taking her company overseas:D

I wonder if instead of license plates, their prisoners make bonsai trees.

If they do- I need to go to jail in Japan. I dont have time for something relaxing and peaceful like working with bonsai trees.
