- Heated floors, bike rides, and five-star cooking classes. Welcome to prison in Norway. It looks nothing like most prisons in the US. That's because Norway's prison system is designed with three core values in mind: normality, humanity and rehabilitation. The point of incarceration in Norway, they say, is to make inmates "better neighbors" once they are released -- and they take that mission very seriously.
The judge in Norway: You're grounded for one year.
And the judge in America: We hereby take away your opportunity to be anything other than a life-long criminal.
@@jeschinstad And some judge in America: You're a murder? But you're also rich so here feel free to roam the street and cause as mush murderous intent as possible as long as you pay me.
I am from norway and the prison system works too well
@Bard Erland low recidivism
The results are everything and apparently it works.
That's literally better than being homeless in america wtf.
Since when being homeless was a good thing even if comparing it to situations like being emprisonned ?
Oussama 1997bis he was saying Norway prison is better than being homeless in America. It does seem better. The heated floors will make such a big difference especially in the winter when the homeless sleep on sidewalks and be really really cold.
@@banshee1133 i know
Why does it have to be america? Homeless people in other countries cant do much
that's literally better than an average American lol

Hahahahhaa. Kevin, shut your pie hole. I live in another European country, our pison system is the same yet we are a liberal country.
This has nothing to do with Socialism, this has everything to do with a GENERAL better life than the US. Europe is moving forwards while the US is standing still.

Obviously every country has some sort of drug trafficking but Norway doesn’t have a huge problem(+epidemics) like we do in the states. Please take a second to think idiot.

@@italianwaffle5592 Make me.
In USA we have a broken society and that's the fact. Even for a homeless person the Norway prison looks like a luxury place.
This is a fucking joke, This guy is helping people ruin lives by getting them hooked on drugs and he get reward with puppies, ice cream and flowers. In the USA has a population over 300 million and next to Latin American and Caribbean countries Where are all the main hard drugs and gangs are made and get imported from and comparing to Norway population is about 5 million that is a lot less then the USA.
Shut the fuck up with your "America bad"
@@CaptainViral84 except their lives won't be ruined and no one will likely be hurt. The Nordic countries have measures like free medical services to ensure everyone is healthy and there are very little to zero homeless people.
Also if it is cheaper and more efficient in terms of turn over rate to keep prisoners inside for shorter periods of time and actually treat them like human beings, then there is really no reason not to do it.
Ps. Like the video said, this is a minimum security prison so no one who is in there did anything that bad.
@@JT-ev8sd "free medical" is not free at all, It's paid through your taxes. Have you ever used free "free medical" be for?
@@CaptainViral84 yet the system works. No one is dying on the street, homeless or starving and everyone has access to sanitory living spaces if need be. Also the system taxes the wealthier people more and the less fortunate less.
Isn't it ironic that when the prisons aren't a living hell the residivism rates are actually lower?
It’s almost like if you come out of prison WITHOUT PTSD , you might have a shot at rehabilitating people!
Dont be fooled man. This type of system wont work in US as said in the video. It would make things even worse.
@@johnwild8217 Nah, it won’t work because the United States didn’t have any money after their 600 billion dollar defense spending
@@johnwild8217
No, you're the one who's fooled because you believe the same old arguments that get repeated over and over and over in the US.
And either way, whatever you do in the US, it simply CANNOT make anything worse as you already have the WORST results among the OECD countries.
But in my experience US Americans don't even think of "CRIMINALS" as being human, they love to project every possible negative attribute onto them and therefore make a supposed distinction between themselves and the "criminals"...
@@Minecraftrok999 Guess I should have stated my opinion better. I believe prisons like that can't be formed within US because people would have forcefully commit crimes due to being desperate and seeing this as a version of an "upgrade" for their life due to it being better than the streets. In Norway people are taken care off even those unemployed and also a lot of solidarity towards each other. I think US doesnt have have that 😊
When you realize that prisoners in norway live better than you...
If so that's kinda sad
Not me
Same. Now excuse me, I'm going to Norway to sell drugs....
Well, maybe it tell something about the condition of your country. Someone has said that society can be judged by how it treats its criminals.
@@Bruh-jr2ep ehhh I think it's more telling that he made some wrong choices in his life that having a bedroom and a tv in prison is better than his situation
“We punish them them by taking away their freedom, but we don’t take away their life”
Wow that quote made me very happy
max weller i could see this working for low level criminals. idk about THAT much luxury though, people in America would be commiting crimes just TO go to prison....
max weller but I agree the big problem in America is people who get caught up in the perpetual cycle, so to dehumanize them is never going to make them a better more prosperous member of society. save that for the real scum bags, but any victimless crime and lower level things, I think something closer to this than what we have would be the way to go. guaranteed it would almost eliminate returnees, and basically eliminate people coming out a more advanced criminal than before. but I guess that would be bad for business.
max weller of course if you DO ever go back, then you get upgraded to one of the hell holes....so that would deter people, and keep bums from coming back just to live for free or whatever reason. throwing all grades of criminals together is not only ineffective, it's counter productive. but I suppose they know that already.
@Anne Liesveld That's like saying a generously groomed and cared for pet with lots of toys that is trapped only within its owner's property has lost no freedom. The ability to travel and visit where you like is a freedom, heck, many of these guys aren't even allowed to play violent video games for the sake of insuring there is no interference in the rehabilitation process.
No reason to take their life if they havent killed many or done something horriffic, Anders Behring Breivik is already dead, the second he comes out of prison a sniper is there too shoot him
When you treat people with compassion, you will have a person who is easily rehabilitated. The prison system here in America is a business...it's far more than just putting people away, it's much more than that...and for that reason alone, it will not want to change their plan.
Rehab is good for minor offenses or non-violent offenses as long as a murderer, rapist, pedo, or mass shooter isn’t being put in rehab I have no problem.
@@lockdown8614 Yet in other countries the same people have come out as well and rehabillitated people.. soo what’s the problem?
@@kaiserslavaniaashur1623 So you wish a dude who murdered a child got rehabed and goes on to become successful in life while the child he killed could’ve also become successful?
@@lockdown8614 Yes i do. I see no reason to put what potential that exists to waste. He killed a child sure, i’d fucking hate him. But why waste potential. He could be the one to discover the cure to cancer, or even the guy to discover how to stop STDs. But because he killed a child he shpuld be treated like he dosn’t matter. Potential wasted. He might have stopped a child from fufilling thier potential but that can’t be changed. Someone died and we can’t change that.

@@public_butter4741 america is not the only place that its better than but in american many people see themselves as the best country and it's a developed country with the most influence through both military and entertainment.

Yeah for a certain type of crime but if someone murders your whole family.I don't think you want them having a great time in prison.
PS4LIFE GAMER but you don't want them dead. At least we don't over in Europe
Maybe you when they commit another crime and they break into your house and they murder you or sell your kids drugs or rape your family members you’ll change your tune. you don’t reward bad behavior that’s damn simple.
I'm sure school shooters and the toolbox killers would have liked that too.
I think this is for less serious crimes not murder, rape, etc

It is supposed to also discourage crime though...
Yea in America you have some very dumb people thinking it’s okay to be killed unarmed regardless of how small the crimes are.

Imagine the look on the victim's family when they discover that their son's killer gets to live the good life in jail
Most Norwegians accept that this system works in reducing crime, & that it leads to fewer victims in the long run. There are around 20 murders in the whole of Norway in an average year, & in twelve of those the victim was killed by a family member or someone well known to the victim. . There were 174 murders in Washington DC last year.
@@zivkovicable That doesn’t mean families should be forced against their will to forgive a murderer.
@@lockdown8614 No one is forcing them to forgive. Who said they were? Personally i would like to see the person who stoke my car a few years back given a life sentence breaking rocks or worse, let alone if someone hurt my family...but that's exactly why no justice system in a democracy lets the victim of crime choose the punishment.
@@lockdown8614 no one is being forced to forgive anything. They are simply just not seeing their government as a tool for personal revenge.

Highest sentence in Norway is 21 years. The only exceptions are Breivik and some Pedophiles.
People can mock this if they want but it’s a fact that the Norwegian prison system works better than the American prison system.
Some people can't be saved. Some people are just inherently bad or some cases evil some could kill rape destroy murder without remorse or humanity
The problem isn't the prison system. The problem is the whole of society. The Norwegians are simply much less violent. The result is a better prison system.
A prison system is the mirror of its society. The worst prisons are always in the worst societies.
@@kla_sch3864 I agree calture plays a role
Dezi Lue mock the American system all you want but by not punishing the rapists murderers and thieves in society they will continue to commit crimes unless they are truly punished. If they are treated like normal citizens like in Norway then they won’t even mind being arrested...
aguarnes the American system creates more criminals than it rehabilitates. People go in for small crimes and come out bigger criminals.
Rehabilitation is helping them find a better path in life. Giving them the tools to see how to do it will definitely help that.

@@Emma-nw2xg in my experience US law enforcement (cops and border guards) treat people much more harshly in pretty much all situations. Its just how they are trained, wired and conditioned by the police culture.
And my experience with US LEOs comes mostly from travelling with my parents as a white middle class family with kids, who never actually did anything wrong. While my experiences with cops in europe and asia come mostly from me being a young man who sometimes actually did stuff wrong. Yet the attitude of US LEOs is always somewhere between disinterested (for border guards) and confrontational.

People have to remember that most of these inmates have probably had a bad life, so showing them how good life can be helps them to not reoffend. They’ll leave here not wanting to go back to a horrible life or bad conditions and have higher expectations.
Which in some cases may make some desperate to have that luxury again and commit another crime.

Lol if life was bad outside of prison, but great inside of prison, they probably don't see it as much of a consequence to have to go back. They still probably Skype their wives and children. I understand that it's not the same as seeing them in person, but they are more likely to commit risky behavior knowing it's not that bad in prison. Not to mention you just said they had bad lives previously. Their lives probably improve while in prison.

That’s insane what the guard said they don’t think any different about crime than us
Well you know the good old u s of a has to be the biggest and best at everything so of course it makes sense we have to think different about crime too. We’re bigger and badder then everyone else. Smh. I truly think some Americans forget the rest of thr world exists. It isn’t just us. There’s tons of other cultures, languages, views and opinions, and even crime. We aren’t different. In the end we’re all human. Just because we’re born on American soil doesn’t mean my instincts are different. Yes, as we get older our surroundings can impact our development, but why should we not even try to change the bad parts though. That guards logic is bc it’s bad it’s not worth trying?? Change has to start somewhere. Obviously it wouldn’t be an overnight nationwide change, it’s a slow process and would honestly take decades to even see the data on long term recidivism rates or if our country actually started to reduce crime. But why not try? He doesn’t care about the future, he won’t see any instant changes so nah, don’t bother. Doesn’t matter his grandkids could benefit and other future generations. Americans are selfish people. We don’t see the point in wasting time and money if it won’t benefit us now.
@@Sara-xk1nsImagine seeing potential change in murderers, rapists, and pedos. Y'all are completely soft and naive.
If you sit and think about it for a second, it's not really that hard to comprehend.
Think of a prison as a parent. Your mind is shaped a lot by your parent to prepare you for entering society so you can be a functioning member of it.
Bad parents often produce misbehaving children. When a child comes of age, this misconduct becomes the legal system's responsibility.
This is where the prison has to meet their needs so they can set them straight, not just continue the neglect and abuse as a form of punishment.
This'll just end up releasing the same people that was put in. Help them make themselves the best version they can be.
Even criminals are civilized in Norway
People will always make mistakes!! In every society!
Just like a doctor can't mistreat a criminal, jailors can't do that here either. If they have been mis treated for years in prison, when they get out, they would be far more wild. That's why american criminals keep going back to their prisons.
Give them a normal life in prison, they would be happy to get back to a normal life soon, when they leave prison.
The problem a lot of people don´t understand is, "criminals" are normal people too. They just made the wrong decisions. Thats why I think law should focus more on rehab instead of just punishing people.

If you surround your self by negativity your eventually end up worse than you came in. But if you approach them in a different light then they're be a better person than before. Giving them something they never had instead of taking more out of em than they came in.
If a child misbehaves, what do you do? Explaining and teaching them why what they did was wrong and teaching them ways to cope, makes them react differently.
This is a government raising it's citizens to be productive members of the community and not ostracizing them, making them believe the punishment does not fit the crime and that they are rotten to the core and good for nothing else.
Proud to be Nordic.
Nice
The same old argument people give usually is that "these murderers do not deserve happiness and comfort, they deserve punishments". Problem with that notion is, the majority of prisoners aren't murderers/lifers. In the end, most will get out, and like it or not, prison will leave an impact. Treat em like animals, and you're going to have a fun time once they're released. Check out America's recidivism rate 2018 study by the department of corrections (or justice, can't remember). Of course we're not gonna be blind sighted and deny that there are some ruthless psychopaths out there as well, and that has to be dealt in a different manner.

usually when people are told they're bad, treated badly, and told being treated badly is good for them, they'll keep thinking they're bad people. when you tell people, despite all that they've done, that they're capable of being good, they like to fit into the mold they're given. Prisons in Norway are not just coddling and giving luxury to criminals, but they're showing them that there IS a life outside of crime and being in prison. programs that train them for a better life gives them the tools to not only seek out a better life, but to also believe that they deserve a better life than what they've done. That's how we heal people.
Many times, you need to teach people to miss the things they never had.
they do not deserve to be healed.

Their country is a Fruit cake compared to America, Americans by nature are just more violent, I mean we enjoy football 🏈 and UFC, practically every American owns a gun and drinks beer on a daily occasion
@@AJ___USA I agree and disagree. At the moment, such a system would not work in America. But it could work if the country made serious reforms in the way it raises children.The Japanese are well-known for their good behaviour and ethics, and all you need to do is visit a Japanese school to know why that is. A person's youth is a defining period of his life and is very likely to impact the rest of his life.
Also, you can still enjoy football and UFC and guns, and have a low crime rate - Finland is good example. In Finland, 1 out of every 10 people carry a firearm (in America it's 3 out of every 10), and yet their homicide rate is 5 times smaller than US.
Abhishek Mhatre Finland is also smaller in population and has less diversity Same thing with japan, I believe the reason japans youth is so well behaved is because of their culture but in America you have a diversity of cultures that don’t seam to always get along
@@AJ___USA Well, to play the devil's advocate, Singapore is a very diverse country but it's still very safe and peaceful. Now Singapore also has many restrictions on individual freedom, for example, every housing estate has to conform to certain racial quotas (like 70% Chinese, 15% Malay, 5% Indian, etc), this is intended to prevent ghettoisation, they also have something called the sedition act which criminalises making hateful comments, etc. In summary, you can have a peaceful and diverse country only if you have a "benevolent dictatorship" at the top.

🤨 that was the oddest argument anyone’s ever mad to me, I’m at a loss of words, um 😐 ....... hmm I don’t know what to say about that 😹 um sucks for them..... I think 🤷♂️
Such an amazing program! wow
Remember : Some prisoners shouldnt go to prison to be tortured, they go to cghange their ways
In a weird way, to me, it kind of seems like he’s bragging about American prisons and the criminals America has.
Right... Like 'Well you don't understand. America's criminals are much more sophisticated then Norway's criminals.'
This country problem recently has definitely been THIS type of ego. If we could just not let our dicks talk instead of our heads, we'd still be respected
@UncreativeFun Psychopaths like this are everywhere not only in America, the only difference is americans are making from their psychopaths and serial killers some kind of celebrities.
UncreativeFun Well. We have ABB who killed 77 people, most of them between 14-20 in a few hours. Psykopaths are everywhere.
That’s just his humor, he has a very dry sarcastic way in this documentary. He’s like this the entire documentary. He knows their way is much better
who wants to rob a bank with me in Scandinavia?
Book me homie
Lmfao watch them deport your ass tho
Ya gonna get sent to Ass hair County jail in Arkansas U.S instead LMAO
My english is bad but...how incredibly stupid are you?!? Stop jokes, just stop it! It's a very important think! If this is not already the present for whole world it's because ignorant people like you. Your idiocracy stop the future and progress.
The biggest problem is that Norwegian banks not have cash. ( Some have in "big" cities) We use cards. If you need more than "$1000" - you need to come back.
I wouldn’t even mind being in prison if this was the case
That prison is like a artist retreat. They have their own room and flat screen TV. They get to jam. Why would they wanna leave? Lol
To go see family, have freedom, and know that if they work they’re way up and become successful, and not a criminal, they can have that and be able to walk outside.
They're still prisoners even if the prison is comfortable. I believe Norway has a limit for how many years a prisoner can be sentenced outside of the worst crimes I believe. They take rehabilitation seriously I've seen other programs where they have to maintain a farm and animals once nearing the end of their sentence.
Because life outside the prison is better and you have freedom to go visit people who are important to you.
I'm actually jealous of that prison's living conditions...better than what I can afford working a full time job...
Deckard Cain Just gotta move to Norway and be a drug dealer once a year and get caught.
ELTV Or kill someone. You can get a second year in heaven for that.
Deckard Cain I just explained that to a Norwegian. I don't think they understand, we might have to illegal immigrate to their country for a chance to start living.
Onni Paananen No there's a different prison for that.
Nob1e Hunter Yes there is and it's Bastoy Prison. Check it out. It's even more loose. ☺
My left ear....
Ikr, noone even mentioned it xD
What? Anything wrong with it? My headset is broken, so i only get sound in the right
just listen in mono
lmao same as mine thought my headphone broke..
Jack Pizziferro + oh my gosh...me too
Crazy how Norwegian murderers in prisons are having a more fun time than me😢
2:50 don't have predatorial instincts...
Viking: hold my battle axe
Bastøy is a special minimum-security prison, not at all typical for Norwegian prisons. Prisoners that come here have nearly finished their sentences or come due to the not so serious nature of their crime. So after serving time at Bastøy they are going back to society and we feel that it is a good thing to give them a break at adapting to the outside world, rather than just releasing them from an ordinary prison.
The video should have explained this, it's a very important point.
The video did explain this. It was specifically stated that this is a minimum security facility.
Yeah but not really about the aspect that snubbbedpeer mentioned which is that this prison is mainly used for prisoners serving the later parts of their sentence
Similar concept to halfway houses
Michael Moore profiled another Norway prison and it had a murderer. Not saying you wrong but i emphasize their systems are unlike many nations. It can be assumed more humane in all their jails.
“We take away their freedom, but we don’t take away their life” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Neck ass
Meanwhile a lot of people are free but they have no life.
@@wandaedwards4153 what the fu
@@Kevin-jc1fx yeah... America sucks man.
@@Kevin-jc1fxBalanced as everything should be 😂
This is a minimal security prisons meaning that these people are not likely to resort to physical violence. Their higer security prisons probably are a lot stricter.
I seriously wanna live there for the rest of my life I'm not even kidding
I don’t even have heated floors
Most people don't
Might also have to do with that it can get really fucking cold in Norway
Yeah same
You can’t really talk shit or be mad about how Norway handles their prison and rehabilitation systems, the reason the crime rate is so low is because how fair and well rounded the society and system is.
Exactly!
well thats like saying Malta handles their prison and rehab system so well too.
They dont have diversity either so theres no culture clash
@@SS-ld8bg That is objectivley wrong. Around 20% of the population of Norway are of forgein descent or born abroad.
@@Me2goTi that's a shame.
Wow that's one hardcore prison oh my word!
if i travel to norway and do a crime there do i get extradited to my country?
asking for a friend
British people: "Our prisons are more like holiday camps!!!"
Norwegians: "Hold my beer"
Did you know, and this is true, that in Norway, it used to be a serious crime to not get drunk on beer at least four times every year? All your possessions would be taken away from you and you would be made an outlaw. I'm not joking; it was literally blasphemous. You also had to get drunk every time someone close died or was born. Actually, the modern word for when a women is close to given birth, is "barsel", which was originally «barnsøl», meaning «child's beer». Our beer laws was actually a significant reason why so many left for Iceland. But the point is, there's no beer in prison and for many of us, that's punishment enough. :)
@@jeschinstad I wish that applied in the UK too. Obviously it wouldn't work here because of our drinking culture but one can dream. There's too many drunken idiots in the UK
It’s true! I’m chilling in a Norwegian prison rn jerking off to cp!
@@laddttt6808 wtf I legitimately thought that this comment was a troll
Jo-Erlend Schinstad 'Hold my beer which I can only do 4 times and year'
I can see inmates being rehabilitated here. It's what prisons are supposed to be for non-murder/rapey prisoners.
👍
The Emperor agrees
Why not rapist or murderers?
Let the rapists in there cuz most of them were probably falsely accused by a feminist
Murderers and rapists should also be rehabilitated because punitive justice has been proven to not work
My left ear really enjoyed this
Edp knew he was moving to Norway when he heard "no life sentence"
*Guy arrested for drug traficking in Norway*
Corrections Officer : They dont have drug problems
He means they don’t have the amount of drug problems we have. That guy was probably trafficking pot, some coke or ecstasy. They’re not talking about Narco trafficking tons of cocaine across the border or African American drug lords being a huge problem within their own community trafficking major drug deals. That’s what you have in American prisons. In Norway, you’re talking about a homogeneous society with the same work ethic, everybody looks the same, everybody believes the same, everybody contributes the same very different from the United States.
This is why Norwegian and nordic countries socialism, would never work in the huge melting pot that is America
Clever comment for dumb people but yeah haha clearly there isn’t a correlation there 😂😂😂😂
Guy arrested for drug trafficking? They have a drug problem is what you’re sayin haha
I hope you’re trolling otherwise you’re just a fucking dumbass I’m praying for the former
James Bon do you know what a drug lord is? Name one African American drug lord
Richie Right frank lucas, the real rick ross, big meech, rayful edmond & more
I go, nothing to worry about, we either get rich or go to holiday camp
I also believe that many of the truly mentally ill inmates are not getting help in America and most of them has deep rooted issues whereas I do believe Norway have genuinely tried to help the prisoner. These prisons aren't just cages, they're rehabilitation centres. Prop to Norway
Anon Anon thank you. Proud to be Norwegian when watching this :)
Anon Anon please men, cnn is bullshit
Anon Anon well said! Props to you too!
you are right
we are fucked up

it is not possible to state such thing in 3 lines.....
Nikolas Werner Nice job your just as bad a human being as co122 can you both please fucking off yourselves?

Good, I thought my headphones were toast.
@@bradnotbread me too lol
Lmao I thought something was wrong with my headphones
Holy shit I thought the video was so quiet
lol
I feel like prison in Norway is better than most American lifestyles these days lol
And people still think America is the greatest country
thicc bruv People in the US do
Whats with the hate to the USA?
@@matthewgraygublerswife9224 I wonder what language you'd be speaking if it wasn't for the US. German, Japanese, or Russian.
The US's problems come from fighting every other nations wars for them. If we left NATO and the UN, we'd be far better off. While most other countries faught amongst themselves.
@@matthewgraygublerswife9224 so are you generalizing the USA beacuse of trump? Never heard of not all people are the same?
Thank you for the video.
my left ear is enjoying this
who knew that treating people like people make them more normal
Ruben Hayk Let me rephrase that, who knew treating people normally will make them normal
good ,that sounds much less retarded.
Prison Guard: Alright your sentence ends tomorrow can’t wait to be free huh?
Me: Nani?
Noooo send me back, I don't want to live on the streets again
My right ear loves this.
Imagine the poor man who was wrongly imprisoned for 65 years in a US prison. It makes me cry 😥
Am I the only canadian who's thinking about becoming a Norwegian citizen and lowkey get into prison?
No.
That's not gonna happen.

That moment when a prison is better than my 2bhk rental apartment. ☹️
I like the thumbnail of the guy relaxing on the bench and the other dude playing the guitar
“Criminal Records”
-cool name for a band 👍🏼
That would be a better name for a recording label.
Norway does it because it works. That was only a minimum security prison for smaller crimes, but there’s a reason their recidivism rates are so low.
Every prisoner get evaluated, there are murderers in these prisons.
lol canada released a guy who beheaded someone on a greyhound bus !
Drug trafficking gets you the death penalty in many countries.
If you Google Halden Fengsel that is a maximum securety prison
Ben McInnes. The first prision is a minimum security (Bastoy prision) but the other with a music studio etc etc is a maximum prision (Halden Prision)
Imagine getting a record deal with criminal records
Happens in the US too. The great Blues singer Leadbelly was freed by the Governor of Louisiana so he could carry on his music career. He was in Angola for murder. Various Hip Hop artist have recorded from behind bars.
