I don't understand why it's titled "this country beats france." I mean... France's prison system is worse then the USAs.
Though yeah i've seen that video before. What it DOESN'T tell you is that prison isn't actually how they all are run.
In fact the rest of norways prisons are just like ours. That prison is just a "halfway" house. If your lucky... when your sentence is about to come up, they send you there for a year or two so it's easier for you to intergrate into society.
Would it be good for us to have halfway houses like this? Sure... if we have plenty of islands to do it... and don't mind moving prisoners across tons of states rather then the state obligation it is now. No islands in Montana afterall.
Like I said... it's a combination of punishment and rehibilitation. These people are "wharehoused" for the majority of their time in norway. Of course you didn't know any of this because well... Michael Moore is the king of lies of omission. They do focus a bit more on rehibilitation they give everyone strictly monitorerd computere for example... but most of their prisons are just that... prisons. If michael moore posted on this website he'd be one of those guys that points to Avish Tsvangi's 800 million wiis sold (or whatever it was) and claim that's what every Wii owner expects it to sell, that the PS3 is doomed because of it's low first year sales and that the 360 sucks because that Nazi SRPG game by Atlus "bombed." Except he gets paid to troll.
