Go Inside One Of The Most Humane Prisons In The World | Sunday TODAY

Working because Norway have small population.

[@katgobble431]

Norway has always been this way

[@RealPolitik-dy4it]

20% recidivism vs. 80% recidivism speaks volumes. In Norway, they realize that this pays off in the long term. I wouldn't be surprised if they spend less money on prisons per capita than the US does. In fact, it is better to rehabilitate a murderer in 15 years than to lock him up for life. First of all, every year in prison costs the taxpayer money. Second of all, if and when he gets out, he will be ready to work and pay taxes, providing the government with a stream of revenue. Third of all, give it some time and the prison population will be a fraction of what it currently is. Fourth of all, crime rates will go down significantly, as rehabilitated prisoners will have the means to support themselves WITHOUT resorting to crime. Unfortunately, many people in America are too primitive to understand this, all they care about is getting revenge at any cost.

For those who condemn the incarcerated and believe in retribution (instead of rehabilitation) by "locking them up and throwing away the key"--it's been proven that a retributive and punitive prison culture leads to high recidivism rates.

JSSRocket i wouldnt say theres NO homeless people, but you do have to actively TRY to be homeless. There is a ton of support you can get from the government and although there is high tax, a bit of it goes to people who are unemployed or struggling financially. There are certain circumstances which messes people up and makes them homeless anyway, but then its easier to just go to the government for help than these prison buildings.

As a citizen of Norway I like how the system is here. Of course I would be mad if a person killed one of my loved one's and was treated like this. I would probably want him dead, not rehabilitated. But justice and revenge are two very different things. And rehabilitation can stop people from committing crimes again. And I have one thing to address. Yes, the maximum sentence you can get in Norway is 21 years. But if the government redeems you as still dangerous to the society, the sentence can be prolonged. Edit 1: I need to add that it's weird that you guys keep comparing our prisons to how things are in America. You guys have a lot of problems in your country and to compare Norway and the US is absurd. It is weird to me even calling the US for a "first world country" as it does not feel like it.
