The rate of crime and crime in general is a signal of societal failure....
It means your country is shytty....
So because your country is shytty...you throw people in a shyttier place called prison where people are raped and murdered and beaten on a daily basis and then you expect them to come out to be better people....
And the desire to punish is also stupid. The desire to punish leads to violence, violence creates shyttier human beings. Literally. Like you take someone and beat them for 20 years and they'll be dumber and less able to reason and etc.
So when people do bad things to us and then we punish them...we are just making them more prone to do bad things...just so we can feel better about having bad things done to us...
Unless they are a damn axe murderer or serial child rapist or whatever where you can't really do anything to fix them because they are demented and there is neurologically something wrong with them. Yeah those people you kinda have just put away from society. Lock them up and don't let them out because they are too far gone.
Everyone else though... We should take them and put them a nice, safe, secure environment. Should be given the opportunity to do nice pleasant things...like have walks in the park or learn an instrument or go to school....or paint...
You know shyt they probably couldn't do while they are out in society in their shytty living conditions.
Instead of asking them..."Why did yo have to sell drugs" or "Rob this bank..." or "Steal this car..."
Should ask them..."What do you want to do with your life?" or "What makes you happy..." or "How can we help you..."
Then you develop their personality and character and when they are finally objectively better human beings...you release them into society and nobody should know what they did. Should be given new living quarters and should be checked on monthly by government authorities on their progress back into wider society.
The prison model we currently have is based on God and Divine Punishment...where when you fukk up you supposed to go to a terrible place and be humbled...and that just doesn't work...
Welll yeah...Scandinavians do everything better because they aren't as simple-minded and bloodthirsty as Americans....
If we had more rehabilitation centers asking the misfits what they wanted out of life there would be a low crime rate. Worked out well for Scandinavia.
