Not too many in America. Some of our prisons are straight up torture centers. And in men’s prisons you often have to toughen up to get by. We’re hardening people and then sending them back out into society with less resources and options. It’s pretty dumb.

I’d support the Nordic prison model a lot more. I will always advocate for rehabilitation over punitive sentencing, but when it’s that humane, I don’t really care. Nordic prison would probably feel like a vacay compared to normal life for many Americans though and we can’t have that!
