They only prosecute cases they think they can win, and then they beat and torture and sleep deprive a confession out of the suspect. If he doesn't confess, they keep him in jail for months of more torture and then convict him anyway. You generally only get out not-guilty if you pay a LOT of money to your lawyer, and even then it's a crap shoot. Also, you'll be unemployable regardless of the outcome, but it'll be much worse in society if you didn't confess, because now you're guilty and unpenitent.
Of course it's much more complex in reality, but that's the gist.

Confession made under compulsion, torture or threat, or after prolonged arrest or detention shall not be admitted in evidence. No person shall be convicted or punished in cases where the only proof against him is his own confession."[0] [0] Article 38 of the Japanese Constitution: https://japan.kantei.go.jp/constitution_and_government_of_japan/constitution_e.html https://japan.kantei.go.jp/constitution_and_government_of_ja...
