Sugamo Prison was built in the 1920s to house political prisoners. When Japan was occupied in 1945 the prison was operated by the U.S. Army's 8th Army and it was used to house suspected war criminals awaiting trial before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. Some of those convicted were executed or confined at Sugamo Prison.
