Background
Changi Prison Complex, often known simply as Changi Prison, is a prison complex in the namesake district of Changi in the eastern part of Singapore. It is the largest prison in the country, covering an area of about 50 ha (120 acres), and the oldest still in operation since the closure of Outram Prison in 1963. Opened in 1936 by the British colonial government to replace Outram Prison, the complex was constructed with the intention of housing a large number of prisoners due to the rapid growth of the colony and need for a larger penal facility to alleviate prison overcrowding.
Following the fall of Singapore and subsequent Japanese occupation in 1942, Changi Prison was used by the occupational authorities as a prisoner-of-war camp for Allied prisoners of war (POWs). Many of these prisoners were subjected to brutal treatment and forced labour, and a significant number died from malnutrition, disease, and mistreatment.
Mamoru Shinozaki (ç¯ å´ è·, Shinozaki Mamoru; February 1908 â 1991) was a journalist for Dentsu (later DÅmei) and spy for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in pre-war years, a military executive in Japanese-occupied Singapore, and a businessman and writer in post-war years.
