I've never heard of anyone getting deported for working as a student. What you may have heard was probably referring to working while in Japan on a tourist visa. You are absolutely forbidden from working on a tourist visa (though some people have been known to get away with it).
I know the situation seems to be confusing.
Students who study in Japan on a 'College Student' visa are not allowed to work unless they received special permission from the Japanese Government. This permission is only given in the case that the money will be used to pay the university or college fees.
In the case of the JSP, you must pay all fees before you enter Japan, so you are not eligible for special permission to work.
I think your the program you friends have been studying on has different status or conditions from the Japanese Government, or they have been working illegally.
On the JSP program you are not allowed to undertake any form of part-time work.
but in your case maybe some sort of "will teach English for food" deal might not break any rules.
