Oussama 1997bis he was saying Norway prison is better than being homeless in America. It does seem better. The heated floors will make such a big difference especially in the winter when the homeless sleep on sidewalks and be really really cold.
@@jeschinstad And some judge in America: You're a murder? But you're also rich so here feel free to roam the street and cause as mush murderous intent as possible as long as you pay me.
max weller i could see this working for low level criminals. idk about THAT much luxury though, people in America would be commiting crimes just TO go to prison....
max weller but I agree the big problem in America is people who get caught up in the perpetual cycle, so to dehumanize them is never going to make them a better more prosperous member of society. save that for the real scum bags, but any victimless crime and lower level things, I think something closer to this than what we have would be the way to go. guaranteed it would almost eliminate returnees, and basically eliminate people coming out a more advanced criminal than before. but I guess that would be bad for business.
max weller of course if you DO ever go back, then you get upgraded to one of the hell holes....so that would deter people, and keep bums from coming back just to live for free or whatever reason. throwing all grades of criminals together is not only ineffective, it's counter productive. but I suppose they know that already.
@Anne Liesveld That's like saying a generously groomed and cared for pet with lots of toys that is trapped only within its owner's property has lost no freedom. The ability to travel and visit where you like is a freedom, heck, many of these guys aren't even allowed to play violent video games for the sake of insuring there is no interference in the rehabilitation process.
No reason to take their life if they havent killed many or done something horriffic, Anders Behring Breivik is already dead, the second he comes out of prison a sniper is there too shoot him

@@CaptainViral84 except their lives won't be ruined and no one will likely be hurt. The Nordic countries have measures like free medical services to ensure everyone is healthy and there are very little to zero homeless people. Also if it is cheaper and more efficient in terms of turn over rate to keep prisoners inside for shorter periods of time and actually treat them like human beings, then there is really no reason not to do it. Ps. Like the video said, this is a minimum security prison so no one who is in there did anything that bad.
@@CaptainViral84 yet the system works. No one is dying on the street, homeless or starving and everyone has access to sanitory living spaces if need be. Also the system taxes the wealthier people more and the less fortunate less.

@@Minecraftrok999 Guess I should have stated my opinion better. I believe prisons like that can't be formed within US because people would have forcefully commit crimes due to being desperate and seeing this as a version of an "upgrade" for their life due to it being better than the streets.

When you treat people with compassion, you will have a person who is easily rehabilitated. The prison system here in America is a business...it's far more than just putting people away, it's much more than that...and for that reason alone, it will not want to change their plan.

Yea in America you have some very dumb people thinking it’s okay to be killed unarmed regardless of how small the crimes are.

Maybe you when they commit another crime and they break into your house and they murder you or sell your kids drugs or rape your family members you’ll change your tune. you don’t reward bad behavior that’s damn simple.
Corrections Officer: “It won’t work bc they don’t have all these problems.” You know why they don’t...bc their prison systems and other social programs help prevent that from happening in the first place. 🙃
If a child misbehaves, what do you do? Explaining and teaching them why what they did was wrong and teaching them ways to cope, makes them react differently. This is a government raising it's citizens to be productive members of the community and not ostracizing them, making them believe the punishment does not fit the crime and that they are rotten to the core and good for nothing else. Proud to be Nordic.
The same old argument people give usually is that "these murderers do not deserve happiness and comfort, they deserve punishments". Problem with that notion is, the majority of prisoners aren't murderers/lifers. In the end, most will get out, and like it or not, prison will leave an impact. Treat em like animals, and you're going to have a fun time once they're released. Check out America's recidivism rate 2018 study by the department of corrections (or justice, can't remember). Of course we're not gonna be blind sighted and deny that there are some ruthless psychopaths out there as well, and that has to be dealt in a different manner.
Anjel - it’s amazing. i love the maximum security prison, in which essentially everyone gets their own cottage. i could definitely take a meditation break there, it’s set up in pretty much the same way that anyplace where you go to learn to meditate and understand Buddhism would be (except with better food, music, art, and socializing!)
@@izanagi711 are you delusional? Prison is supposed to be shit, when prisoners leave they will never want to be back in there, giving them this luxury is probably all they want and they will commit more crimes just to get back

People will always make mistakes!! In every society! Just like a doctor can't mistreat a criminal, jailors can't do that here either. If they have been mis treated for years in prison, when they get out, they would be far more wild. That's why american criminals keep going back to their prisons. Give them a normal life in prison, they would be happy to get back to a normal life soon, when they leave prison.
The problem a lot of people don´t understand is, "criminals" are normal people too. They just made the wrong decisions. Thats why I think law should focus more on rehab instead of just punishing people.
@@YoungBlood507 Especially Sweden. Someone broke into a guys house. Instead of sentencing the thief which broke in. They sentenced the guy defending his own home from the thief for assault. 10/10 system.

The problem isn't the prison system. The problem is the whole of society. The Norwegians are simply much less violent. The result is a better prison system. A prison system is the mirror of its society. The worst prisons are always in the worst societies.
Dezi Lue mock the American system all you want but by not punishing the rapists murderers and thieves in society they will continue to commit crimes unless they are truly punished. If they are treated like normal citizens like in Norway then they won’t even mind being arrested...

Bastøy is a special minimum-security prison, not at all typical for Norwegian prisons. Prisoners that come here have nearly finished their sentences or come due to the not so serious nature of their crime. So after serving time at Bastøy they are going back to society and we feel that it is a good thing to give them a break at adapting to the outside world, rather than just releasing them from an ordinary prison.
Yeah but not really about the aspect that snubbbedpeer mentioned which is that this prison is mainly used for prisoners serving the later parts of their sentence
Michael Moore profiled another Norway prison and it had a murderer. Not saying you wrong but i emphasize their systems are unlike many nations. It can be assumed more humane in all their jails.
You can’t really talk shit or be mad about how Norway handles their prison and rehabilitation systems, the reason the crime rate is so low is because how fair and well rounded the society and system is.
Tr Liiv prison is not supposed to be better than the free world, which in Norway, it isn’t.

@@Rawan-kd9vq if that was true then the statistics would be worse for norway, but they are certainly by the most effective prisons in the world, learning instead of punishing of blind anger and rage
Lol if life was bad outside of prison, but great inside of prison, they probably don't see it as much of a consequence to have to go back. They still probably Skype their wives and children. I understand that it's not the same as seeing them in person, but they are more likely to commit risky behavior knowing it's not that bad in prison. Not to mention you just said they had bad lives previously. Their lives probably improve while in prison.
usually when people are told they're bad, treated badly, and told being treated badly is good for them, they'll keep thinking they're bad people. when you tell people, despite all that they've done, that they're capable of being good, they like to fit into the mold they're given. Prisons in Norway are not just coddling and giving luxury to criminals, but they're showing them that there IS a life outside of crime and being in prison. programs that train them for a better life gives them the tools to not only seek out a better life, but to also believe that they deserve a better life than what they've done. That's how we heal people.
@@tornadolover920: Nobody deserves anything. From nature, you must kill those who have in order to have. You can choose to live by those rules or you can choose to change them.

Did you know, and this is true, that in Norway, it used to be a serious crime to not get drunk on beer at least four times every year? All your possessions would be taken away from you and you would be made an outlaw. I'm not joking; it was literally blasphemous. You also had to get drunk every time someone close died or was born. Actually, the modern word for when a women is close to given birth, is "barsel", which was originally «barnsøl», meaning «child's beer». Our beer laws was actually a significant reason why so many left for Iceland. But the point is, there's no beer in prison and for many of us, that's punishment enough. :)

A person's youth is a defining period of his life and is very likely to impact the rest of his life. Also, you can still enjoy football and UFC and guns, and have a low crime rate - Finland is good example. In Finland, 1 out of every 10 people carry a firearm (in America it's 3 out of every 10), and yet their homicide rate is 5 times smaller than US.

Most Norwegians accept that this system works in reducing crime, & that it leads to fewer victims in the long run. There are around 20 murders in the whole of Norway in an average year, & in twelve of those the victim was killed by a family member or someone well known to the victim. . There were 174 murders in Washington DC last year.

Welcome to Western Europe dude. No fear of what happens when you drop your soap in the shower, because it's almost always seperated and locked shower cabins for each individual, and the rare prisons where showering is communal you'll notice that the people there actually act like people instead of animals. I spent a couple of weeks in prison while awaiting my arraignment, and although not as luxurious as Norway the Dutch prisons are still in the the top 5 of best and most luxurious prisons in the world. I had my own TV, radio, microwave, stocked fridge, and a PlayStation 3. I'm very glad that even though I was innocent (which they admitted during arraignment, after which I was released and got €1050 as compensation for the 2 weeks spent in prison), I spent my time in a Dutch prison, and not in a US or South American prison.

First it would be minimum security.. Second our convicted felons from the Nixon Administration and the like probably get this or better treatment anyway. I agree it is better than the average American, but when will our country ever accept the concept of trickle UP economy. Money given to the poor and middle class will eventually make it's way to the top, but improving the poor and middle class will have positive impacts on crime. Our problem is corporate and wealthy greed.
@b king What exactly is your point? That torturing criminals out of hatred is the best course of action? That sounds like a scumbag. If it's possible to legitimately rehabilitate a rapist into a positive piece in society, they should. Ignoramus.
If you sit and think about it for a second, it's not really that hard to comprehend. Think of a prison as a parent. Your mind is shaped a lot by your parent to prepare you for entering society so you can be a functioning member of it. Bad parents often produce misbehaving children. When a child comes of age, this misconduct becomes the legal system's responsibility. This is where the prison has to meet their needs so they can set them straight, not just continue the neglect and abuse as a form of punishment. This'll just end up releasing the same people that was put in. Help them make themselves the best version they can be.
Just to put it out there: for all of you who think they are "rewarding" criminals, the point of going to prison in Norway is to be rehabilitated and to be able to be a fully working citizen again. If you are seriously unstable and a great danger to anyone, this is not the kind of prison you would be assigned to. Those people are being rehabilitated as well, just with other stricter conditions. Edit: typo.
Benji_Skywalker I never said that it is working in the US. My point is that prisons overall should reconsider their systems and how they’re affecting the prisoners. Both positively and negatively.
The fact that they have access to knives, but they don't kill each other, tells me that they really do think differently than American criminals. I think it works in Scandinavia, because their entire society is structured so differently. In America, extreme poverty and lack of access to basic healthcare leads to rampant mental illness and a mindset that you have to be a hardened criminal to get by in life. It's almost like it's a virtue. It's a cultural problem that is nurtured by the system surrounding it. It would never work here, unless we changed everything else as well. If we made everything else more like Scandinavia, then perhaps, eventually, this might make sense in the U.S. Part of me thinks that we are looking in that direction for inspiration though. We will probably be copying many of their programs in the years to come, thanks to Bernie Sanders drawing attention to it and igniting an interest in that way of living.
It's estimated that 85% of the inmates in Norway have a mental illness, most often a personality disorder. Of those 85% around 25% of them have ASPD (psychopathy). So I do not believe that this difference due to american inmates are more mentally ill then norwegian inmates. In halden prison there a serial killers, there are people have have chopped up and mutilated their friend, serial rapists, drug bosses and so on. I believe that the reason as to why they are not violent inside prison is because they are met with respect. Back in 1970-1990 there were alot of violence in norwegian prisons too and we had a 70% reoffender rate.that was when we focused on punishment inside prison instead of rehabilitation. now that we have started to focus on rehabilitation instead our reoffender rate is 20% and in one of our largest prisons there have been only 1 incident of inmate on inmate violence the last 5 years. so rehabilitation works better then punishment
@@black_forest_ it goes both ways... criminals in the US don't see other people as human too. That's part of the reason for the much higher level of violence. It is truly a cultural difference.
stolen shoob say that to the person he raped. Or the family of the one he murdered. Or the torturer’s victims. Or the people killed in a shooting. Prisons are punishment and rehabilitation. Not one or the other. Norway spends a whopping $129 222 (USD) per prisoner in 2018. To put that in perspective, thats more than what two people in the US make in a year combined. To push a system similar to Norway’s, the US will have to quadruple the prison budget, costing taxpayers almost 400 billion dollars a year. No prisoner deserves $120 000 each year to live better than much of the population. There are actually good citizens that would do so much better with that money instead
stolen shoob the us on average spends a little over 30k per prisoner. Some states spend more, some spending less. And if your going to talk about the military budget, you’ve got to know the reasoning. Not only is that money going towards making the worlds most dangerous and powerful military in the world, that money also goes into foreign aid. The us is allied with many many countries, most who rely on US for protection from a aggressor, like Vietnam who’s only defence from China in the South China Sea is the US. I have some great cost saving measures that could easily reduce military funding: Conscription. Volunteer based military’s are more expensive because no ones volunteering to an under equipped military. No more foreign aid. The us is to pull all of its troops and medical personnel out of foreign countries to save money. No more military arms research. We don’t need weapons obviously. Because the rest of the world is completely peaceful and not at all going to threaten the US or it’s allies.
stolen shoob yes I do. Do you know how much more involved the us is with foreign affairs. The us has military in 51 different countries outside of the US. On top of that it has a number of other allies, such as Taiwan, Iraq, Afghanistan. All of these are to prevent crime. These treaty’s not only help these countries in question, but also helps the US financially and as a global power. It beats being controlled by a totalitarian government like China.
prototype8813 the prison you saw in the vid was meant for prisoners who almost finished they’re sentences to get used to daily life again but the prisons they go to the original ones are still good
Ok but imagine someone steals your car and gets sent to this place. To be honest with you I'm not too worried about "fixing" our criminals. It is a complete waste of taxpayer money, they don't deserve to be fixed. What they deserve is to do their time, get out, and go back to their life.
This is by far the cheapest option. In America, most people who “served their time” end up doing crime and end up in jail again. That is very expensive for society. That is a waste of taxpayers money. Also, most Americans identify as Christians. Jesus tells us to forgive anybody. Why shouldn’t we forgive criminals, if we know that treating them like actual human beings massively decreases their chance of hurting other people and increases their chance of becoming good, law abiding citizens. We should put humanity and logic over feelings and revenge.
@@JK-gu3tl America focuses on punishment Rehabilitation and its also it about business they have fill the jail cells that why there a lot non-violent offenders doing long time in jail
Do the victims of murderers get a second chance? And why should taxpayer money be used to REWARD criminals? When they are living BETTER than law abiding tax paying citizens, there is a problem.
But if you look numbers is more expensive to give someone a death sentence In the us than lifetime. For the victims its sad but for the society as a whole the europe version is better. You just put everyone in jail and it helps no one
Good King Moggle Mog XII Treating prisoners like animals isn't going to bring a murder victim back to life. At that point, you're advocating revenge, not justice.
Spacely Days "We punished a Nazi, who shot and killed over 74 children and teens, by using tax payers money to buy him shit that the tax payers themselves can't even afford." People like you can go fuck yourself.
But the statistics speaks for themselves. The Norwegian way obviously works! The point is to punish and at the same time rehabilitate inmates, so that they one day can go back into society and not back to prison. In America most criminals goes from freedom, to prison, to freedom, to prison, to freedom, to prison... there is no end. Why?
Spacely Days In America, they make money off the prisoners... it's a business, just like everything else here... yes, I agree something needs to change. What they are doing is not right.
Keep in mind that this is a MINIMUM security prison. The US also has minimum security prisons, also known as Federal Prison Camps. These kind of prisons is more like college dorm than the typical prison shown in the media, there's no bars, no locked doors or windows, inmates are allowed to roam the compound, and unless they got work, they can usually just do whatever they want most of the time. Most of them even facilitate some hobbies, like they have tennis courts, art supplies, musical instruments, etc.
" they don't have predatory instincts" ? That's your excuse? This so called correctional officer knows that their system is a failure / disaster. But doesn't even consider adopting a different strategy. " criminals are bad here, we have to give them hell." That's his opinion about fellow human beings. Every criminal is a human being.
If you had been assaulted or raped by someone, i can almost guarantee that you would want them to feel the pain that you went through. Criminals shouldn't be able to have luxuries that some people outside of jail don't even have.
@@eals255 dude there's various types of criminals. e.g there's people that became drug dealers because they wanted to make a crap ton of money and live the big life, then there's the drug dealers, that became dealers because they had a criminal record and couldn't get a legit job, so they turned to a criminal lifestyle. You get the point. I agree with you tho, pedos shouldn't be spared, cuz you get a born a pedo, you don't become one. That just means that even if they felt true remorse for molesting a child, they can't stop themselves from wanting to do it again because their brains are wired that way.
"They don't have the predatory instinct..." Yeah, really should make you wonder about what in your culture that is wrong instead of blaming it on "predatory instinct". People are the same deep down everywhere you go.
Well you know the good old u s of a has to be the biggest and best at everything so of course it makes sense we have to think different about crime too. We’re bigger and badder then everyone else. Smh. I truly think some Americans forget the rest of thr world exists. It isn’t just us. There’s tons of other cultures, languages, views and opinions, and even crime. We aren’t different. In the end we’re all human. Just because we’re born on American soil doesn’t mean my instincts are different. Yes, as we get older our surroundings can impact our development, but why should we not even try to change the bad parts though. That guards logic is bc it’s bad it’s not worth trying?? Change has to start somewhere. Obviously it wouldn’t be an overnight nationwide change, it’s a slow process and would honestly take decades to even see the data on long term recidivism rates or if our country actually started to reduce crime. But why not try? He doesn’t care about the future, he won’t see any instant changes so nah, don’t bother. Doesn’t matter his grandkids could benefit and other future generations. Americans are selfish people. We don’t see the point in wasting time and money if it won’t benefit us now.
This is the MINIMUM security prison, for those that have not made to much of a crime and still can be rehabilitated. Murderers, serial killers etc. will end up in MAXIMUM security prison, and it's nothing like this at all. Those feel more like prison, but still better than the US prisons.
@@sanitallica THIS GUY GOT A PLAYSTATION: Anders Behring Breivik is a Norwegian far-right terrorist[6] who committed the 2011 Norway attacks. On 22 July 2011, he killed eight people by detonating a van bomb amid Regjeringskvartalet in Oslo, then shot dead 69 participants of a Workers' Youth League (AUF) summer camp on the island of Utøya. In July 2012, he was convicted of mass murder, causing a fatal explosion, and terrorism.
If you take somebody who resorts to crime out of desperation, give them time to rehabilitate mentally, develop skills and work on themselves you'll find somebody who has not been punished, but somebody who has been healed.

max weller of course if you DO ever go back, then you get upgraded to one of the hell holes....so that would deter people, and keep bums from coming back just to live for free or whatever reason. throwing all grades of criminals together is not only ineffective, it's counter productive. but I suppose they know that already.

The same old argument people give usually is that "these murderers do not deserve happiness and comfort, they deserve punishments". Problem with that notion is, the majority of prisoners aren't murderers/lifers. In the end, most will get out, and like it or not, prison will leave an impact. Treat em like animals, and you're going to have a fun time once they're released. Check out America's recidivism rate 2018 study by the department of corrections (or justice, can't remember). Of course we're not gonna be blind sighted and deny that there are some ruthless psychopaths out there as well, and that has to be dealt in a different manner.

Bastøy is a special minimum-security prison, not at all typical for Norwegian prisons. Prisoners that come here have nearly finished their sentences or come due to the not so serious nature of their crime.

Prisons in Norway are not just coddling and giving luxury to criminals, but they're showing them that there IS a life outside of crime and being in prison. programs that train them for a better life gives them the tools to not only seek out a better life, but to also believe that they deserve a better life than what they've done.

It would be naive of us to think a system like that could ever work in the U.S with our gang, population, and violence problem. Their country is a Fruit cake compared to America, Americans by nature are just more violent, I mean we enjoy football 🏈 and UFC, practically every American owns a gun and drinks beer on a daily occasion
@@AJxxxxxxxx I agree and disagree. At the moment, such a system would not work in America. But it could work if the country made serious reforms in the way it raises children.The Japanese are well-known for their good behaviour and ethics, and all you need to do is visit a Japanese school to know why that is. A person's youth is a defining period of his life and is very likely to impact the rest of his life.
Also, you can still enjoy football and UFC and guns, and have a low crime rate - Finland is good example. In Finland, 1 out of every 10 people carry a firearm (in America it's 3 out of every 10), and yet their homicide rate is 5 times smaller than US.
Abhishek Mhatre Finland is also smaller in population and has less diversity Same thing with japan, I believe the reason japans youth is so well behaved is because of their culture but in America you have a diversity of cultures that don’t seam to always get along
@@AJxxxxxxxx Well, to play the devil's advocate, Singapore is a very diverse country but it's still very safe and peaceful. Now Singapore also has many restrictions on individual freedom, for example, every housing estate has to conform to certain racial quotas (like 70% Chinese, 15% Malay, 5% Indian, etc), this is intended to prevent ghettoisation, they also have something called the sedition act which criminalises making hateful comments, etc. In summary, you can have a peaceful and diverse country only if you have a "benevolent dictatorship" at the top.

Imagine the look on the victim's family when they discover that their son's killer gets to live the good life in jail
Most Norwegians accept that this system works in reducing crime, & that it leads to fewer victims in the long run. There are around 20 murders in the whole of Norway in an average year, & in twelve of those the victim was killed by a family member or someone well known to the victim. . There were 174 murders in Washington DC last year.
@@zivkovicable That doesn’t mean families should be forced against their will to forgive a murderer.
@@lockdown1776 No one is forcing them to forgive. Who said they were? Personally i would like to see the person who stoke my car a few years back given a life sentence breaking rocks or worse, let alone if someone hurt my family...but that's exactly why no justice system in a democracy lets the victim of crime choose the punishment.
@@lockdown1776 no one is being forced to forgive anything. They are simply just not seeing their government as a tool for personal revenge.

Welcome to Western Europe dude. No fear of what happens when you drop your soap in the shower, because it's almost always seperated and locked shower cabins for each individual, and the rare prisons where showering is communal you'll notice that the people there actually act like people instead of animals. I spent a couple of weeks in prison while awaiting my arraignment, and although not as luxurious as Norway the Dutch prisons are still in the the top 5 of best and most luxurious prisons in the world. I had my own TV, radio, microwave, stocked fridge, and a PlayStation 3. I'm very glad that even though I was innocent (which they admitted during arraignment, after which I was released and got €1050 as compensation for the 2 weeks spent in prison), I spent my time in a Dutch prison, and not in a US or South American prison.
Lmao if America's prison looks like this, imagine the crime rate. People would commit crime just to live a better life.
every homeless guy would instantly start selling drugs or something just so they could get in that prison lol
You say that but Norway has homeless people and it’s not a problem there

When people in jail have a better life than the average American...
First it would be minimum security.. Second our convicted felons from the Nixon Administration and the like probably get this or better treatment anyway. I agree it is better than the average American, but when will our country ever accept the concept of trickle UP economy. Money given to the poor and middle class will eventually make it's way to the top, but improving the poor and middle class will have positive impacts on crime. Our problem is corporate and wealthy greed.
Better than homeless Americans.
@b king Yet the majority of criminals don't end up back there. I can tell you know nothing about psychology.

I agree with the auburn system
If you sit and think about it for a second, it's not really that hard to comprehend.
Think of a prison as a parent. Your mind is shaped a lot by your parent to prepare you for entering society so you can be a functioning member of it.
Bad parents often produce misbehaving children. When a child comes of age, this misconduct becomes the legal system's responsibility.
This is where the prison has to meet their needs so they can set them straight, not just continue the neglect and abuse as a form of punishment.
This'll just end up releasing the same people that was put in. Help them make themselves the best version they can be.
studies show that punitive parents produces the worst kids. so it'sno brainer that punitive prisons produce the worst criminals.
Norway does it because it works. That was only a minimum security prison for smaller crimes, but there’s a reason their recidivism rates are so low.
Every prisoner get evaluated, there are murderers in these prisons.
lol canada released a guy who beheaded someone on a greyhound bus !
Drug trafficking gets you the death penalty in many countries.

What is there to lose by trying this in the US? Our prison systems do not work so we literally have nothing to lose.
Yes!
Just to put it out there: for all of you who think they are "rewarding" criminals, the point of going to prison in Norway is to be rehabilitated and to be able to be a fully working citizen again. If you are seriously unstable and a great danger to anyone, this is not the kind of prison you would be assigned to. Those people are being rehabilitated as well, just with other stricter conditions.
Edit: typo.
Nora Skogly Sæthre but its not working in the us, thats the problem. ITS NOT WORKING
Benji_Skywalker I never said that it is working in the US. My point is that prisons overall should reconsider their systems and how they’re affecting the prisoners. Both positively and negatively.
Benji_Skywalker nah durr prison isn't working here in the US this system isn't being implemented.
Our government might consider it if they had the money.
well, the US dose spend like $598 billion on its defence budget alone, so I'm pretty dam sure they indeed do have the money lol
The fact that they have access to knives, but they don't kill each other, tells me that they really do think differently than American criminals.
I think it works in Scandinavia, because their entire society is structured so differently. In America, extreme poverty and lack of access to basic healthcare leads to rampant mental illness and a mindset that you have to be a hardened criminal to get by in life. It's almost like it's a virtue. It's a cultural problem that is nurtured by the system surrounding it. It would never work here, unless we changed everything else as well. If we made everything else more like Scandinavia, then perhaps, eventually, this might make sense in the U.S. Part of me thinks that we are looking in that direction for inspiration though. We will probably be copying many of their programs in the years to come, thanks to Bernie Sanders drawing attention to it and igniting an interest in that way of living.
Soleilune Those knives were on a Chain....watch the video.
@@frankesposito2182 So? The point is that they have access to it. Do you think sharp metal knives would be allowed in minimum US prisons? No.
Let's not forget immigration changing the mentality to not so ideal
It's estimated that 85% of the inmates in Norway have a mental illness, most often a personality disorder. Of those 85% around 25% of them have ASPD (psychopathy). So I do not believe that this difference due to american inmates are more mentally ill then norwegian inmates. In halden prison there a serial killers, there are people have have chopped up and mutilated their friend, serial rapists, drug bosses and so on. I believe that the reason as to why they are not violent inside prison is because they are met with respect. Back in 1970-1990 there were alot of violence in norwegian prisons too and we had a 70% reoffender rate.that was when we focused on punishment inside prison instead of rehabilitation. now that we have started to focus on rehabilitation instead our reoffender rate is 20% and in one of our largest prisons there have been only 1 incident of inmate on inmate violence the last 5 years. so rehabilitation works better then punishment
@@black_forest_ it goes both ways... criminals in the US don't see other people as human too. That's part of the reason for the much higher level of violence. It is truly a cultural difference.
As a Norwegian my self i love watching these videos. And their reactions are priceless. Its like they havent heard about human right before
ProHognes_jr you lose your human rights the second you harm another’s
stolen shoob say that to the person he raped. Or the family of the one he murdered. Or the torturer’s victims. Or the people killed in a shooting. Prisons are punishment and rehabilitation. Not one or the other.
Norway spends a whopping $129 222 (USD) per prisoner in 2018. To put that in perspective, thats more than what two people in the US make in a year combined. To push a system similar to Norway’s, the US will have to quadruple the prison budget, costing taxpayers almost 400 billion dollars a year. No prisoner deserves $120 000 each year to live better than much of the population. There are actually good citizens that would do so much better with that money instead
stolen shoob the us on average spends a little over 30k per prisoner. Some states spend more, some spending less.
And if your going to talk about the military budget, you’ve got to know the reasoning. Not only is that money going towards making the worlds most dangerous and powerful military in the world, that money also goes into foreign aid. The us is allied with many many countries, most who rely on US for protection from a aggressor, like Vietnam who’s only defence from China in the South China Sea is the US.
I have some great cost saving measures that could easily reduce military funding:
Conscription. Volunteer based military’s are more expensive because no ones volunteering to an under equipped military.
No more foreign aid. The us is to pull all of its troops and medical personnel out of foreign countries to save money.
No more military arms research. We don’t need weapons obviously. Because the rest of the world is completely peaceful and not at all going to threaten the US or it’s allies.
stolen shoob yes I do. Do you know how much more involved the us is with foreign affairs. The us has military in 51 different countries outside of the US. On top of that it has a number of other allies, such as Taiwan, Iraq, Afghanistan.
All of these are to prevent crime. These treaty’s not only help these countries in question, but also helps the US financially and as a global power. It beats being controlled by a totalitarian government like China.
Zach B Norway isn’t the US
it's also important to note that this is not for the worst offenders; it's something that inmates work towards
Norway is 500 years ahead of the rest

This is by far the cheapest option. In America, most people who “served their time” end up doing crime and end up in jail again. That is very expensive for society. That is a waste of taxpayers money. Also, most Americans identify as Christians. Jesus tells us to forgive anybody. Why shouldn’t we forgive criminals, if we know that treating them like actual human beings massively decreases their chance of hurting other people and increases their chance of becoming good, law abiding citizens. We should put humanity and logic over feelings and revenge.

Do the victims of murderers get a second chance? And why should taxpayer money be used to REWARD criminals? When they are living BETTER than law abiding tax paying citizens, there is a problem.
But if you look numbers is more expensive to give someone a death sentence In the us than lifetime. For the victims its sad but for the society as a whole the europe version is better. You just put everyone in jail and it helps no one

@@Mii.2.0 You answered your own question
Keep in mind that this is a MINIMUM security prison. The US also has minimum security prisons, also known as Federal Prison Camps. These kind of prisons is more like college dorm than the typical prison shown in the media, there's no bars, no locked doors or windows, inmates are allowed to roam the compound, and unless they got work, they can usually just do whatever they want most of the time. Most of them even facilitate some hobbies, like they have tennis courts, art supplies, musical instruments, etc.
" they don't have predatory instincts" ? That's your excuse?

You get the point. I agree with you tho, pedos shouldn't be spared, cuz you get a born a pedo, you don't become one. That just means that even if they felt true remorse for molesting a child, they can't stop themselves from wanting to do it again because their brains are wired that way.

Smh. I truly think some Americans forget the rest of thr world exists. It isn’t just us. There’s tons of other cultures, languages, views and opinions, and even crime. We aren’t different. In the end we’re all human. Just because we’re born on American soil doesn’t mean my instincts are different. Yes, as we get older our surroundings can impact our development, but why should we not even try to change the bad parts though. That guards logic is bc it’s bad it’s not worth trying?? Change has to start somewhere. Obviously it wouldn’t be an overnight nationwide change, it’s a slow process and would honestly take decades to even see the data on long term recidivism rates or if our country actually started to reduce crime. But why not try? He doesn’t care about the future, he won’t see any instant changes so nah, don’t bother. Doesn’t matter his grandkids could benefit and other future generations.
