@nahiyan4564 But the outcome of this system is less crimes and violence. This is not unique to Finland either. If you would trade "hard punishment" for more violence and crimes then yes, you are in fact crazy

@missinginaction7155 If something is effective it's not stupid by default.

@stefanisilva2493 It's not about culture. It's about the system you see here. It's better to rehab than "punish" people who committed crimes. Actually.... I guess it's culture, but thing is, this system molds a less violent/criminal culture. So if you can shape your country's culture, why not? Wealth? Perhaps, but that's even more reasons to at least pilot something similar in USA. Prisons in USA break people for life. Why not try this kind of system with first time offenders? Start with people that didn't commit murders/rape

1. You are sugarcoating this. 2. For the society this system is better because it creates a safer society. It's a mathematical fact, just do the math. So I don't understand your comment. Are you saying you'd take "hard punishment" over a safer society? It makes no sense

@David Schroeder You should do the math dude. USA "imprisonment rate per capita" is more than x10 than Finland. This simply cannot be ignored or brushed away as a cultural thing. Clearly it's a product of this system. Not saying USA must just copy/paste this system but at least start with non-murderer crimes. It's an investment worth pursuing.

@stefanisilva2493 Interesting stat. Curious though if it's for the same level crimes or in general. Harsh prisons poison people from inside and someone who's in USA prison for theft can become a more f;d up person just from going through this system.

@Tecsy25 won't argue with that. Makes sense
