  1. Is the point of prisons to get revenge on others or to make society safer? The Nordic countries seem to be doing a lot better if it’s the latter. America on the other hand incentivizes the political system to imprison people because there are private prisons that turn a profit and then provide huge campaign donations to politicians who approve their conduct.

  3. TRUTH SEEKER What better way to support victims than to make sure criminals never return to a life of crime. The numbers speak for themselves.

  4. Dzemaz Is the point of a prison to get revenge or to stop crime? Look at the numbers, it all speaks for itself. I mean who knew that private prisons that turn a profit were a bad idea?

  5. If only you had political units roughly the size of Norway. Hmm. Shall we call them provinces? Or perhaps states? Your point is ridiculous.

  6. TheDude Abides Uh, do you know what per capita means? Besides, most prisons are run by states. The average US state has 6 million people, Norway has 5 million.

  7. What you’re effectively saying is that we can’t have nice things because we have brown people. How incredibly racist of you. Shame on you.
