She was imprisoned for three years and eight months after she was found to have injured six patients in 2004 by tearing out their nails. The patients were all immobile after strokes or other illnesses. The Kyoto district court said the woman had committed the cruel acts to relieve stress she was under from extra work forced on her by her supervisors."
