Don’t Be Like He-Man
This should be an interesting and a very good thread.
Few citizens there go to prison, and those who do usually go only once. So how does Norway accomplish this feat? The country relies on a concept called "restorative justice," which aims to repair the harm caused by crime rather than punish people. This system focuses on rehabilitating prisoners.
Take a look at Halden Prison, and you'll see what we mean. The 75-acre facility maintains as much "normalcy" as possible. That means no bars on the windows, kitchens fully equipped with sharp objects, and friendships between guards and inmates. For Norway, removing people's freedom is enough of a punishment.
As Bastoy prisoner governor Arne Wilson, who is also a clinical psychologist, explained to The Guardian:
In closed prisons we keep them locked up for some years and then let them back out, not having had any real responsibility for working or cooking. In the law, being sent to prison is nothing to do with putting you in a terrible prison to make you suffer. The punishment is that you lose your freedom. If we treat people like animals when they are in prison they are likely to behave like animals. Here we pay attention to you as human beings.
Norway adopts a less punitive approach than the US and focuses on making sure prisoners don't come back. A 2007 report on recidivism released by the US Department of Justice found that strict incarceration actually increases offender recidivism, while facilities that incorporate "cognitive-behavioral programs rooted in social learning theory" are the most effective at keeping ex-cons out of jail.

This part of the article is very interesting:
That's why Norwegian extremist Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in a bombing and mass shooting, was only sentenced to 21 years. Most of the outrage and incredulity over that sentence, however, came from the US.
That just shows that the war country has it's people so damn indoctrinated, but with this specific incident I can somehow empathize with americans as that is mass murder, but it's interesting that most of the outrage came from only one country. That is something to consider.

Norwegian Prisons:
they knew about this shyt going into these prison systems and their creation... They don't rehab people, they make them worse...
) already know they exist but don't care because $$. Do you really they will be willing to send black people to jail if prisons looked like that?
