[@TheDevilSmilesX]

The whole atmosphere of the prison is so calming and reassuring, almost therapeutic. Everyone is softly spoken, the inmates themselves are polite and the guards are understanding. Love the fact they have counselling sessions and chances to learn hands on skills like hairdressing, Microsoft skills, etc. skills that will kickstart their motivation to contributing towards society in a positive manner when they do get released. I believe this is the best kind of atmosphere to really turn around someone’s life. No physical punishment, abuse, torturing. Just confinement, work and positive reinforcement.

[@ZebraFacts]

I am a bit conflicted with this system of punishment and correction. Those two things are very important but there must be a harsher third element to imprisonment. Deterrent. If the worst that can happen to bad people is being confined, I'm not sure that in itself may not be enough to make someone take pause before committing a crime to begin with.

[@ohsehun6470]

[@Cantetinza17]

I wish that it could be like this in the states maybe someplace where inmates go before they are able to go home, so it can slowly get them use to not always having to be on their guard. That way the transition from incarceration to being free could possibly be smoother. At this time they can have more access to being able to get a job and already sign up for other support groups etc. They need to experience a calm environment before they are released. Like maybe their last year of incarceration could be at a facility that is similar to that.

You forgot to censor one prisoner face and I could clearly see her face. Do note and censor it. Then re-upload. On TV ppl might just see for few second. Online anyone can pause or head back. I think prisoner deserve second chance but not everyone is accepting. I will not pinpoint where in case anyone go and take a Ss.

[@xlbloggergamer607]

true i also see her face as well but i also dun want pinpoint at her cuz she's trying to become a better person...

[@Cupids-lx5xj]

There’s only that much they can blur out

I know it wont work everywhere & with every type of inmate but I like the approach they are using. These places appear to have a great mix between Correctional & Incarceration elements.
