What Prison Cells Look Like Around The World

I think that's wonderful - the children and families have not comitted the crime

Im from Spain and i have to explain some things. In Spain we think that prision is an oportunity to learn better, not a punishment. We think criminals must have an opportunity to reincorporate to society. We call that "reinserción". Well, prisions are organizated by modules. This is a family module (when both parents are in prision). We have maternity modules, when just the mother is incarcelated, mother and child are together until the kid has to go to school (around 3 yo). We think that separated them is cruel af. Then we have the "respect module" were sex offenders, drug addicts and the snitchers lol. Its way more controlled and its there to protect the inmates from others and themselfs.

This is so thoughtful!!!

Very cute , but unrealistic. Do not lie to children.

Why don’t they instead just give people every opportunity to succeed from the start and not making industry’s and buildings solely to take money rather than give back. Prison and jail should be abolished. It’s no different than slavery. It’s a battle of perspectives and whoever has the bigger d**k and the most money wins every time.

Seems they are doing the right thing here, focusing much more on rehabilitation than just straight up incarceration.

Bravo. And well done kid. He looks proud.

Wow! We need to learn from them!

76% in the US is disgraceful. We also have the highest rate of inmates. Especially among Black Males.

So much about the "third world"... !

It is easy to imagine these people moving back to society. Good for them (obvious), good for society (adding skill again, this time for right-doing), good for the state (prisons costs enormous amounts of money).

The longer you remove people completely from any semblence of normal society the less chance therre will be of them being able to reintegrate successfully upon release

To the people who are complaining about the "luxury", please do some research! And poverty is a kind of prison of itself, which is unfortunately inherited through the families in most of the world. So please don't protest the "luxury" treatment for humans, feeding your envy, but fight for better distribution of wealth and better support forfamilies and

This does sound cushy. We should all live in such a community. On the other hand, treat them like humans and they will act like humans.

They are living far better than many USA citizens. If we had a prison like that here, people would be committing crime just to get 'affordable' housing. Some do that already, just to get off the streets and feel safe and to get a shower and a hot meal (or any meal). Very sad.

This looks like a hotel room from some 3-star hotels in my country.

this prison is better than my bedroom

Here's the thing, if you cage people up and treat them like animals they're going to like one. If you treat them like a human they'll act like one.

Why are these prisons American dorm rooms??? And why are American dorm rooms nicer prisons???

Norwegian prisons look a lot like swedish Ikeas.

It's amazing to see how respected and well-treated the elders in Japan are, even in prisons.

Wait a sec...besides stealing because they are starving, exactly what do old people do that end them up in prison?

I hate to say this but i think its kinda sweet how they respect elders there :)

In Japan there is little to no government help for seniors and seniors without family help resort to crime to be treated as they would be treated here in a convalescent home.

if there were a bed, it would looks like my old dorm room :D

Norway and the Netherlands are proof that treating your prisoners well doesn't result in increased crime rates, and in fact it contributes to the opposite. It's not just this though - both countries have a better attiude to social welfare generally, and they both have a highly developed culture of egalitariansim and looking out for each other, and this is why Scandiavia and the northwest of Europe contains some of the 'happiest' countries in the world. The every-man-for-himself corporate capitalism of the US is a failure compared to the social democracies of the Vikings and their descendants.

Crime rates are NOT low in the Netherlands. Criminals are just hardly ever prosecuted and when they are, conviction rates are low and prison sentences short. Especially when it comes to crimes of a sexual nature. The Netherlands only this year past a law that states it’s illegal to have sex with someone who doesn’t want too have sex. Yes, rape was legal all this time in The Netherlands.

True dat preacher

If I ever decide to commit a crime I will make sure to do it over there!

Low crime rate in the Netherlands? Must be all the coffee shops. ☕
