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?

    Oh no. I get what they were saying.

    It was never intended to be good. It IS working as intended and that is definitely not a good thing.
