This would be why most of the stats presented are done in total numbers as well as per capita.Population:

At Halden, half of all guards are female, which its governor believes reduces tension
LMAOI was getting there! I just wanted to lead him in steps.
It definitely looked better than my college dorm room.Kryste. That cell is nicer than my first apartment (studio).
Yes, and the black thing on the wall at the foot of the bed is the TV.is that a TV remote?
is that a TV remote?
There are many factors and many reasons our recidivism rates are so high.
You guys aren't really suggesting we could take some of our people from a maximum security prison and transfer them to Norway and they'd be cooperating and cooking meals with their fellow inmates and hanging out with guards and then getting out to a crime free productive life, are you?
In my opinion, the biggest factor in crime is culture. We have a variety of diverse cultures in this country, some of which tend to produce more than their fair share of criminals. Show me a city's demographic makeup and I can predict what kind of crime rate they have. I can also tell you where the worst neighborhoods are, and the best. I don't need to know the poverty statistics, either.
I'd say that a Norway type prison would be appropriate for certain types of criminals here, but that would be unpopular. Most of our criminals shouldn't BE criminals anyway, if they are in prison for consensual acts that we have criminalized. For that matter, most of the criminals in Norway shouldn't be in prison either.

I've read a few things from actual Norwegians who say we're misunderstanding. The prisons we are focusing on are the nicest, lowest security, white collar prisons where non-violent prisoners are sentenced. Sentences are said to be a maximum of 21 years, but are renewable for further 21 year stints if you're considered to dangerous to release. A little different than what's been presented here.
I now have an idea for a private prison in the USA.
It definitely looked better than my college dorm room.
If I ever found myself single, dogless, and needing to live in the city (all of which are damned unlikely), I'd probably look for a hyper-efficiency apartment much like that.
