I came across this on Facebook and thought some of you might find this interesting.

This j-dorama's synopsis on MDL reads:

"Hitotsubashi Kiriko is sinking into a pit of sorrow when her one and only best friend whom she lived with for three years, dies of illness. Living on a pension and working part-time is not easy, and the thought of having solitary death terrifies her. One day, she was fascinated by the statement of an arrested person she saw on TV which inspires her to commit crime so she could live in prison. And so, Kiriko's "Life in Prison" plan began. As Kiriko proceeds with her crime plan, she finds new experiences and encounters."

Honestly, this sounds potentially really heartwarming and poignant.

Show is just 5 episodes of 49 mins each, and you can find all 5 eps on NHK World, at the link above.

Amidst her barely manageable life relying on her meager pension and part-time income, her best friend and sole source of consolation had just died, and she was suddenly facing days of emptiness.
