imprisonment with work
懲役
A punishment the Penal Code had until Act No. 67 of 2022 came into force: being held in a penal institution (刑事施設) and made to do prescribed work, for life or for a fixed term of one month to twenty years (Penal Code, former Article 12). That Act replaced it and imprisonment without work (禁錮) with imprisonment (拘禁刑) (Act No. 67 of 2022, Article 2). An act committed before then is, as a rule, still punished as the law then stood (Act No. 68 of 2022, Article 441, paragraph (1)), and a person sentenced to it is treated, for the rules on a person's qualifications, as sentenced to imprisonment for the same term (Article 443, paragraph (1)).

imprisonment without work
禁錮
A punishment the Penal Code had until Act No. 67 of 2022 came into force: being held in a penal institution (刑事施設), for life or for a fixed term of one month to twenty years, without the prescribed work that imprisonment with work (懲役) carried (Penal Code, former Articles 12 and 13). That Act replaced both with imprisonment (拘禁刑) (Act No. 67 of 2022, Article 2). An act committed before then is, as a rule, still punished as the law then stood (Act No. 68 of 2022, Article 441, paragraph (1)), and a person sentenced to it is treated, for the rules on a person's qualifications, as sentenced to imprisonment for the same term (Article 443, paragraph (1)).

public prosecutor
検察官
The official who brings a prosecution (公訴) for a crime before a court (Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 247), and who may decide not to prosecute where, in view of the offender's character, age and circumstances, the gravity and circumstances of the offence and what happened after it, prosecution is not needed (Article 248). In criminal cases a public prosecutor asks the court to apply the law correctly and oversees the carrying out of its judgments; and, as the representative of the public interest, a public prosecutor also does the work other laws and regulations assign to a public prosecutor, which is not limited to criminal cases (Public Prosecutors Office Act, Article 4). A public prosecutor may investigate any crime (Article 6, paragraph (1)). Public prosecutors work through the public prosecutors offices (検察庁): the Supreme, High, District and Local Public Prosecutors Offices (Article 1).
