  • Many inmates in Finland live in “open prisons,” where they are allowed to own a vehicle, leave for work or school, and host overnight guests. Now, the country is funding educational programs where prisoners learn technology skills like artificial intelligence.

    I think a lot of people misunderstand that what makes it work isn't just the jail system. It is only one part of the system. Finland has only 3,000 inmates (which proportionally is like 1/10 of the US incarceration rate per capita) because before there are these kinds of prisons, there is a system that offers free university, college, or practical education; free mental health services and homeless prevention measures like state-owned housing; regular prisons to house dangerous inmates, all of these things lead into programs like this for them to function properly. Any social welfare system has to be comprehensive or it doesn't function. The same goes for healthcare or drug legalization. It has to be a complete plan, not just changing one rule, or nothing will change.
    Finland's government is also incredibly strong. If you ever hear their primeminister or president speak they actually sound like real people instead of actors. Their country isn't very big so they actually have to behave like a real human being instead of a lizard in a skinsuit.

    This is brilliant. I know it's hard to imagine that a murderer may become happier in prison than in their civilian life, but that's because they have no other options but to learn and engage. Most people who commit crimes do so because they have fewer options and intelligence than the average citizen because of how and where they grew up. Supplying ways for them to continue their education is a way out of their darkness and an opportunity to actually become a better person.

Example my brother lost hes home and hes job and he is depressed and they give him free medication, monthly money and last time my brother had to pay for hes monthly medication 0.25 cents. If he didnt get help the medication wouldve costed him about 30 euros

    There was stepfather who killed his stepchild with steam cleaner machine. They let him free because there was not enough proof was it intentional. Last year they didn't give prison sentence for murder because killer had "temporary mental disorder".
    I understand that it's good to give people a chance and let them back to normal life and society if they did some smaller crimes.
    But I don't understand why society is so soft on murderers. Finnish society is protecting more criminals than victims.

I can definitely see how rehabilitating criminals into productive members of society can be a net positive for everyone, specifically in the case of lesser crimes like drug dealing, theft, etc where heavy handed punishments don’t really make sense.
      That being said, could you imagine being brutally raped by someone, only for the courts to do nothing but train him and land him a cushy tech job? Or to have a family member murdered only for the same thing to happen? It’s a giant slap in the face. I’m also curious what happens to reoffenders, do they get trained again in a different field or something?
      IMO there’s a lot we can learn from this system but there’s still a time and a place for harsh punishment. Child abusers, spree killers, serial rapists, etc, should all be locked up and throw away the key

The vast majority of them are quite blatantly persuaded that this is, somehow, the life of(probably) every single Finnish prisoner. I would state with a very high level of confidence, looking at all the comments, that 90%+ of the people viewing the video would be surprised at the 2nd sentence of the original commenter's comment. In fact, the reason I wrote this was because I did a little research after looking at this comment and found out it was mostly true(the comment, that is). I was highly doubtful after watching, however, that Finland could afford to do this for even 1/10 of the prisoners they contain, which is why after scrolling in the comments and reading this, it made me more confident in that train of thought, and like I mentioned before, I did just a little bit of research and found out it was true. Propaganda is everywhere, and you'd be surprised how much credulity the the average youtube watcher holds.

You have taken the ability to experience life, with all its pain and joy, from someone and in the process have also hurt their family as they now grieve while also dimishing the safety the ppl in that nation once felt. So it is only right to either lock u up for life ( which would drain the nation's resources at the expense of a murderer ) or treat u the same way u hv treated ur victim. So when u look it this way, is it not better to give such ppl a death sentence. U must understand that this is not a matter of revenge but rather a means of way to bring justice for the victim, the family and the nation.

    Best criminal rehabilitation i have ever heard of I still remember when I was 18 I spent time in a juvenile detention centre in Melbourne australia which was my third sentence and each time it was a couple of months. My last sentence was in 2003 and while in court I literally told the judge to please send me to jjc and the adults that worked their were awesome basically one lady hooked me up with a job through her x-husband in a warehouse as a store person. After starting that job I never got in trouble again and now its 2024 wow 👌

    With its low crime rate, Finland is clearly doing something right. However, I wonder how the families and friends of violent crime victims feel about the perpetrators living in relative comfort with all sorts of amenities? I wouldn't feel like justice is being served if the murderer of one of my relatives was free to move around in his own car and largely enjoy the luxuries of life

      the fundamental issue with that is now you're viewing prisons as a means of retribution. the emphasis on that is what creates a criminal justice system like seen in the US.

      crime (save for maybe the corporate kind) is not committed by healthy minded people in healthy situations. if prisons are inhospitable, you aren't addressing fundamental reasons why criminals are made. and even if more are deterred, those that aren't come out worse criminals than before.
      finland hasn't made a perfect system. i'm not sure every person can be rehabilitated. and maybe some actions are so evil second chances shouldn't be given. but in terms of maintaining a safer society, it's better than what came before.

      @@jacobt9699 There is punishment. Others have already explained, but I'll say again. Before you get into nice prisons, you have to serve most of your time in the bad ones first. Only after you are near the end of the sentence, and only after being judged as well behaved are you allowed to get into these prisons.

      It's pretty common for people to learn English and have better grammar than a lot of native English speaking people and it's due to them learning English with very strict literary rules that they're not accustomed to and engraining that into their brain, while native English speakers don't typically learn those rules, they just talk the way they were raised to.
