Norway does it right - we could definitely learn from them:
"In Norway, rehabilitation is the guiding principle, not punishment...
'Both society and the individual simply have to put aside their desire for revenge, and stop focusing on prisons as places of punishment and pain," one Norwegian prison official told the Daily Mail. 'Depriving a person of their freedom for a period of time is sufficient punishment in itself without any need whatsoever for harsh prison conditions.'"
I like how the Americans who beat the FREEDOM!!! drum the loudest all claim that they would prefer to live in a Norwegian prison because the cells have drapes and XBOXes.

This is incredible. They get free dental. While I dont have any insurance and I have to pay for dental out of pocket.
they are wards of the state who are unable to earn income and therefore unable to pay for medical insurance. not providing prisoners with medical coverage would be truly disgusting. for some a 1 year prison sentence for a non-violent offense would be a death sentence if they were provided with medical care. that's murder. something a communist would support no doubt.
Yeah, I wonder what their immigration policies are?
I prefer Sheriff Joe Arpaio's chain-gain tent city approach personally.
That has nothing to do with this thread. I can see that you can't think of anything but that. If you care so much, get a gun and go to the border. Don't patronize this thread.
