如今的“弃老”指的是年轻人将家里的老人送到医院或福利机构,然后就此撒手不管——通常是因为他们再也负担不起赡养费用。
The trend still isn't widespread yet: One social worker estimates the total number of cases is in the low hundreds each year.
这种风气目前尚未流行:一个社会工作者估计,每年“弃老”的案件不超过500例。
Prisons are turning into nursing homes.
监狱正变成养老院。
About one-fifth of all crime committed in Japan is done by the elderly. Most of it is petty theft and shoplifting.
日本约有五分之一的犯罪活动是老年人作案。其中大多数是小额偷盗和入店行窃。
As crime rates among the elderly rise, prisons have effectively turned into nursing homes. Guards are made to bathe the inmates and help them get dressed, and experts say living conditions are too good to keep recidivism rates down.
随着老年人作案率的上升,监狱实际上正转变成养老院。监狱看守不得不帮囚犯洗澡穿衣,专家说,监狱里的生活条件太好了,所以很难将累犯率降下来。
Normally, younger relatives would take care of the inmates once they're released. But in some cases the costs (and loneliness) are simply too much to bear in a troubled economy, and seniors look to prison as the better alternative.
