If you get caught stealing an apple in Japan, you’ll spend the rest of your life lying on the floor in a dark 4x4 cell.

Not quite (assuming you mean the food), but you will get FAR MORE than a ‘slap on the wrist’ as they don’t give bail to foreigners, and they take their sweet time to get to you, so (from videos I’ve seen), something like 3 weeks in jail for your first hearing...but that is often delayed another 3 weeks. Eventually you will go to trial, and of course lose, and probably spend some time in jail, and then be expelled from the country.
Only good thing about the above, you WILL learn some Japanese as you’ll have no choice...but then again, you won’t be allowed to ever enter Japan again.
