Comment on Breaking Into a Prison Tablet by Sebastian

In reply to limroh.

Norway and Canada are probably better examples to learn from. They are better than Sweden at (re)habilitating people with lower cases of repeated offences.

Here in Sweden we are getting much worse at it. Now both employers and landlords most often do background checks so the people leaving prison can neither get jobs nor places to live. A good way to make sure they have to do crimes again. The right wing parties compete in being the toughest on crime, they have and want to further increase the prison times for various crimes. The prisons are already more than full, so they have made deals with other countries to run prisons there. It will get a lot worse before it gets better again.
