another excellent interview. love the variety of guests of course but my favourites are the level headed normal guys that can talk about their experiences and life objectively
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
Much respect to this man for sharing he's life experience inside Japanese prison.
Thank you Mr Heck or Miss
Love the foreign prison stories. Keep them coming!
I just served 18 years in Albanian prison for drug smuggling, I had stuffed roughly 7 kilos of cocaine up in my sphinx cavity , it was scary at first but by 1 or 2 weeks I owned that prison , everybody was my bitch, I'm kinda a big deal ..
Thoroughly enjoying this one, can identify with a lot of those fears and paranoias. Seems like a good lad, and an engaging storyteller. And yes, when you're working, everyone's a copper.
them spider senses tingle!
Why if it isn't the world famous Chris Dangerfield! Hey Chris, you should go on this Shaun Attwood podcast.
@@UFCSTARS now this is gonna sound like a load of shite but I put that scar on Mick Bisping's forehead a while back
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
When I lived in Hokkaido, we put shampoo and toothpaste in fridge so it didn’t freeze. That’s how cold apartment was, so, I know what you mean about the vicious cold.
That's crazy..I thought it was cold in Ireland. Lol..
This has to be my favourite podcast! Watched this about 4-5 times now and still can't get enough
really??I bet you say that to all the guys
@@stevenbeattie5211 haha you would think so but I must say your story is really Intresting and like no other. I respect you for releasing the book for the families of other British prisoners in Japan 🙏🏻
@@ascendingsoulspodcast132 I've been in touch and helped a family out already so it did work out well
@@stevenbeattie5211 brilliant to hear its making a positive change. Respect to you 🙌🏻
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it!

Steve you're a legend! Top dog
@@kalemsmith12345 cheers bro its gonna be a mad one lol
@mark weir ha ha has he unblocked you yet?
Last Comment, not a book reader, but when in Thailand a South African Mate said read "The Damage Done ! "
Great channel this, I keep listening to the stories !
A favourite saying.. "stories happen to those who can tell them" ..(imho) Steven, Chet, Macmillan (and others whose names one forgets) define this. As always, thanx to all for such great content 🕉
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
When he said oppai to the judge when bowing Had tears laughing
Shaun looks like I do when the old guys in the pub are telling me mad stories about there lives
Shaun I like when he whispered, sounds way more intense! Also fucking great episode!!🙌❤️
Thanks Edmundo
What an interesting man and what a great story. Thank you for having him on.
Thanks
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
Brilliant storyteller - really enjoyed it. Steven needs a book out
on the way Sam go check out our channel for audio samples and thanks!
My name is Stuart Loynton .. end of 2004 ,I too spent 3yrs in Osaka prison Japan.. my story is similar to this guy .. I could tell you some stories of my time in the Japanese prison system ..
How can I get in touch and relay my story to you all
Hi Stuart Ste here , email Shaun pal I'd love to here how it went also
I’m weirdly confused with Osaka prison and detention house…. Are they 2 separate entities or on the same site??
This was a fascinating story. I think it’s really great that he’s here chatting with everyone in the comments. Stand up guy. Good luck man. I’m glad you’re free!!
Hey no probs it only takes 2min to check and respond so thanks!!
@@stevenbeattie5211 Top bloke! Respect
I’ve watched about a dozen of these and this is my favourite so far.
Humble intelligent guy
Respect due 👊
thank you for your kind words
Steven Beattie is brilliant, his story is amazing. Mental
Thanks!
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
You are so gullible
One of the best podcasts I have seen as my old Dad used to say the type of bloke who you would like to have a pint with !! Good luck mate
cheers pal and I'm easily led to a pint
Wasn't it nice when he said he wouldn't send the girl to get the bag because if she wasn't a cop, she was innocent and he didn't want her to take the fall.
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
The worst is Japanese death row (they still have it). No set date. Could be anytime. They show up and say, okay, today. No buildup or preparation. Anytime.
yep harsh
Steven tells the story very well, and he has a good tone of voice. Well in on getting him on shaun.
Man
yeah Man
The whispering is cracking me up...
I can't imagine the mental strain this guy went through..
I don't think I whisper in the real world lol but....
It's ok when Steve whispers btw, can still hear what he's saying and it actually brings some colour to the dialogue
I could barely make out what he said, not everyone has the same quality of hearing.
@@justinmartin4662 dont watch then
@@justinmartin4662 clean your ears
From the thumbnail, I thought it was Vince diesel ⛽ 😂 🤣
That's some story and he seems a nice guy, my advice is next time don't let there be a next time! Good luck with your future Steven..
Your fine girl 🙂😘
Emma jus letting u know this me sisters account weres me kiss 😘🙂
@@fionaquinn3290 😂
How would your response be if the exact same guy was locked up on false accusations of domestic violence or sexual assault or rape or pedopilia or human/sex trafficking ?
@@jon_s but they were not false accusations he admitted it 😂 give your head a shake mate!
Always great shows these shaun thanks for creating them . This one was interesting as are all , great to see what sort of things really go on in the world
Seen this podcast before but had too go back and watch again!ste is a funny guy cracks me right up😂 proper legend!
Thanks Tommo
Thanks for sharin your story Steven...really fascinating !
OF COURSE a prison named *_”FUCH YOU”_* is going to be “_strict_” - duh?
ha ha very well spotted
🤣🤣🤣🤣👊
There are bad cops and good crooks. I loved listening to your stories. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for your book.
Thanks hope to be out at the end of the year
Have now watched about five of these - Joey Barnett being the best, this being a close second...listening avidly to every second. Interesting to hear the contrast between the japanese penal system (without the threat of rape or violence, but the extreme psychological torture of scarce human interaction and stringency). Fascinating.
Quitting while your ahead isn’t the same as just quitting
I'm a little confused by that
Shaun, stumbled upon you with your xtc story. Man, those days were good and it's not the same. I love your podcast and your interviews. Been sharing your videos with my old school rave friends, from the late 90's. Anyways, cheers to you friend and big love and respect from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA 😁👊❤🌠
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
Keep using this Guildford studio, the sound quality and simple camera angles are very effective.
Thanks, will do!
Love the practical jokes. Treat people like naughty school kids and they will act like them.
My Columbian mate in there said he'd been in prison all over the world and said Fuchu was the worst simply because it was like extreme kinder garden is how he put it
Japan ain’t no joke when it comes to law and order
Hi
Hi Steven! Thanks for telling your great story
Great story 👏 remember u from Kirkham then seen ya pop up on here quality
Mr Beattie is a top bloke with a great story
Thank you Mr Harris
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
I’ve watched a lot of these type of interviews, this was the most interesting. Steve’s a really interesting guy.
Cheers Andy
steven beattie - I'm 45 mins in. Did you learn to speak Japanese?
@@kaseyc1350 yeah I love the language but sadly forgotten
steven beattie - some things are probably best forgotten. I'm a sober alcoholic (8yrs) and a friend of mine from AA was living and working in Japan during the height of his alcoholism. He said that anytime he hears Japanese, he immediately starts thinking about sake (his drink of choice) and that it's a trigger for his cravings. He was/is fluent in Japanese but it's not good for his sobriety to speak/hear it. He had to leave Japan to get sober and get his life together so his brain and his disease associate Japanese with alcohol. Fascinating stuff, that. I could totally relate to you dropping your voice to a whisper as you were telling your story! Shawn said it perfect, "programmed to whisper!"
@@kaseyc1350 I'll drink to that lol
Just finished this one. Really good. No over the top sensationalised crime stories designed to make him seem cool no glorification of stupid stuff. Just good story telling in an interesting context.
The silence of Japanese prisons sounds kind of maddening but also peaceful in a way that UK prisons don't. Maybe in a way it's good for people, sort of meditative.
The guys so genuine 💎 from start to finish it was dynamite 💪👍 respect from Glasgow 🏖
nice 1 pal
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
Great podcast and true genuine guy, I I'm from up north myself Liverpool ways.
Recent Nepal stamp on passport pretty much doomed him. Might as well have been Amsterdam ha
yeah but I got it taken off and changed it
Great interview. He should write his life story.
Cheers from 🇨🇦
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
Great interview really enjoyed that.
Thanks!
Fav podcaster great interview Shaun👏
Japanese prison sounds very tough indeed, but having seen and heard about Thai, Brazilian and a whole host of third world prisons (including the United States to an extent) where overcrowding, murdering, rioting, drug use and disease are rife, the Japanese ones then appear like heaven in comparison. Your own individual cell, clean living, no drugs, half decent food, and especially no murdering, raping and rioting, seems legit to me.
I agree
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
Some Thai prisons are like living in motel if you have cash.. same with a few third world country prisons. But fuck a brazil prison or places known for super overcrowding
@@JacobHG1234 I agree a Thai prison would of been fine tbh
@@thestewozshow7042 really enjoyed the podcast mate. I was involved with the silkroad early on. Got out while it was good. When I watch podcasts like yours I see how lucky I was not to be caught. I hope you're doing well, take care mate!
I could listen to Steven's stories all day.
Its a Steve thing mate
What a story.... Brilliant, loved it and what a decent fella
Thanks pal glad you liked it
Steven, you are such a natural story teller, even though your experiences were harrowing, you found great humour amongst it all, and relay it so well. The Epi/Upi(sp?) stories had me rolling haha...
I hope you write a book, go on the speaking circuit, and start your own RUclips channel, you would be so successful as your talent for story telling, coupled with humour is so entertaining. I even abandoned my chores, and laid under a blanket on the sofa, to watch and listen, whereas usually my attention span is very low.
Even though it pales in comparison, I used to work at a Japanese bank (Mitsubishi in Broadgate, London) and chatting was frowned upon, just head down. After I went to the loo, the manager asked me if I was sick, as she'd timed how long i spent away from my desk, and it was her way of telling me I'd taken too long. Fk that, I left within 2 weeks, I'll be damned if I'll let anyone treat me like a child or a robot.
Wish you all the best Steven, and hope to hear/see more of you in the future...🤗
And to Shaun, credit to you for always letting your guests tell their stories without interruption 👍
Thanks for the kind words, yeah they work in a very similar way in Japan as the prison factory, robotic is the word!
K J natural storyteller?
Being deaf his tempo of speech is brilliant for the captions ..
It is nobody's fault, nothing can be done. I can only understand about 25% of Mr. Beattie's story due to the thick English brogue. Sometimes with Irish or Scottish documentaries, you feel this, so they have English subtitles.
Sorry bro
Made me anxious just listening to that ...Good stories
Im surprised at how hard it is for me to understand him.
He does mumble a bit. I can only understand him coz I'm from the same area
he isn't the best at storytelling which makes me feel ungrateful, but he does mumble. makes it hard for me to fall asleep losing to it
Brilliant one of the best yet. 👍
I really enjoyed this, Steve Beattie is a great raconteur and Shaun is always spot on!
thanks Tara but I'm gonna have to goggle raconteur now ha ha
ha,ha, well you learn something new everyday! Thanks for sharing your story Steve, you should maybe think about turning it into a film!
Seems like a decent guy tbf...Good interview as always Shaun. Would love to see a guest who has done time in an Irish prison
thanks pal and yeah the Irish prison would be different and interesting
Why there just like British prisons!
@@rachelhowells702 You been in many Irish prisons?
@@CyrusGris Have look for Matt Simkins on Shaun's channel it was a good podcast on Irish prisons
@@stevenbeattie5211 cheers mate, haven't seen it, will have a look soon👍
criminals are the most paranoid people you'll ever meet
Is this your real name?
"Michael Jackson died...so we're not getting nuked by N.Korea"😂
Absolutely riveting, bloody balls of steel too 😂😂
Best of luck with all of your future endeavors Steven!! God willing buddy, there won't be anymore Japanese prisons in your future!!
Hi all this is Steven Beattie and my new channel about quitting the real world and Sailing around it
I made it through the whole 2 hours, Steven is a really great storyteller. Even the most trivial points that add to the story, told in a fascinating way. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks mate
To Steven Beattie: I'm glad you're home, brother!
I spent almost 2 years in Fuchu. It was really bad.
I felt as though I would never leave that place alive.
I was in Factory 5.
Hi mate yep 2 years is long there! what years were you there? come on our channel and chat some time I would love to hear your story
I spent 3yrs in Osaka Prison end of 2004..
please get in touch , it’ll be good to chat about our time in Japan 😢
I spent my time in 2 different factories in Osaka 😢slave labour & £7-50p a month
Yo bro it's me P Dogg , remember when we pinned down that fool in C yard and we just punished his sphinx i, his O ring looked like raw hamburger lolol good times bruh
@@petepillow8642 pretty sure it was D wing
I thoroughly enjoyed this 😃
I enjoyed this interview!!! He just a normal bloke that made a bad decision...could happen to anyone.
I have to disagree with you, there's a few of these colourfuly sad stories worldwide..once a Uni student became a drug-mule to pay off his brothers drug debt...he was caught and was executed, he was a normal citizen who made a bad choice.
No, it only happens to greedy dumb people imo
I agree that a high percentage of drug mules are silly and looking for money...that being said there is some interesting happening s in this weird and wonderful world of our.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I had a guy ask me to hold a bag with $5,000 in it, while I was waiting for my bus in a Greyhound station in Chicago. I didn't get caught up in a similar situation because I told him to put it in a locker and have a nice day. I agree with you he's a normal bloke that made a bad decision, it could happen to anyone... who hasn't learned to watch for the signs of dangerous decisions.
This is what prison here should be
100% mate
Thanks Shaun, great interview. Bit of a correction, Steven mistook this, maybe forgot. Opia means breasts, dekai opai means big breasts, ippai means a lot or full. Great Podcast. I have been living in Japan for 18 years and can attest to the things he said and experienced.
yeah mate I never used them words again although I did learn to read and write at a very basic level. Its a shame that I'm banned from Japan its a fascinating country and would of loved to go back there in the real world not the prison lol
@@stevenbeattie5211 at least you didn't say Manko
The Japanese are clear about the consequences of stepping outside the accepted norms, however they do not seek to monetise the prison system at the expense of prisoners, unlike the UK and the US.
I think they have it right just give them heat lol
Unreal wat the guy went thru..unbelievable mental strength
We all have it!
Steven was GREAT. You can really tell hes a good guy. He has strong character
thanks!
Smuggling drugs Into Japan without doing any research Re standard sentence? Damn
I did a little research in an internet café but little was known back then

Thanks Ian come say hello on are live chat
Enjoyed this. He didn't try to give it the big one.
