      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.

    I was an elementary school teacher and Officer in the Army Reserve on my way to my school and I was pulled over because the officer said I was “speeding”. He checked my license and found that it had been suspended due to an unpaid parking ticket. It didn’t matter that no one had notified me of my suspended license, I was immediately arrested and taken to jail. In that moment, all of my humanity was snatched away from me, and they began to treat me like an animal. One of the most humiliating experiences of my life. Even though I made a mistake, I was not a criminal and in no way was I going to hurt myself or others. After a day, I was able to pay my bail and on the next day, went back to teaching my elementary students. I felt like my whole experience of being treated like I was subhuman was completely unnecessary. That experience really opened my eyes. We really need to make some changes in our system.

    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. This tragedy is America's greatest prison paradox: to lock up and throw away the keys while also wanting and expecting their neighborhoods to be safe and crime-free once those released are back into their neighborhoods? Wake up, America and realize that the retributive approach isn't (and will never be) working.

    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.

      @@RokuNyx Yes. I understand that prison is for rehabilitation and not necessarily for punishment or for radicalization. It just hit something in me when you said "back into society", which might be the key to understand why other nations cannot replicate the system even if it is cheaper and if it worked. Environment is many times the more powerful stimuli while rehabilitation can only touch the actor of the crime. Say, we do exactly this program for a Somalian pirate, he serves his time, he is then released to his hometown with feuding clans. He probably will keep arming himself.
