The Finnish (or Nordic) system operates on the principle on rehabilitating inmates by reintegrating them into society, they do not confine them to a “typical” prison cell like those common in America (instead it’s akin to a college dorm with amenities). There are videos talking about the Nordic prison system you can look up to get the picture.

It’s the same with Norway: as they know that “keeping inmates in a cage beating and abusing them” doesn’t help, instead rehabilities them. (Look up Halden Prison) I mean, why is it that Finland manages to maintain a low recidivism rate while it barely scratches that in the United States?

    Is this a campaign? A few days ago we had the question about how Finland is better at fighting homelessness (the post has been deleted). Now this? Maybe we can shortcut this by saying Finland is probably beating the US in any vaguely progressive statistic you can throw at them. Average temperature and GDP however are safe for the US. For the time being.

    The other post may have been deleted, like maybe this one will be also, because it asks a question and basically answers it in the post below.
