Study finds putting people in prison increases re-offence rate vs. probation
Here is a presentation[1] of one of the maximum security prisons in Norway. If you treat people better you will have lower rates of reincarceration[2]. In essence, they are trying to create &quot;good neighbors&quot; out of the prisoners.<p>And we are certainly not a homogeneous society that many use as an argument that this would not work elsewhere.<p>In my city, Drammen, a bit outside of Oslo, about 1&#x2F;3 of the population are not native Norwegians and there are over 100 nationalities here. My daughters school has over 30 nationalities. (And I don&#x27;t think this is a bad thing)<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pB037gVIpJc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pB037gVIpJc</a><p>[2]<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;why-norways-prison-system-is-so-successful-2014-12?r=US&amp;IR=T&amp;IR=T" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;why-norways-prison-system-is-...</a>
