But american prisons generate more profit for the private sector. So who can really say which system is better?

[-] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 17 points 2 months ago

The one with the least amount of repeat offenders.

Why would a for-profit business not want repeat customers?

[-] hungryphrog 4 points 2 months ago

For-profit prison inmates are more like slaves than customers.

Excellent point, slave labour can be another revenue stream

How are they the product? Okay, apparently some american prisons make you pay for the privilege of being in a cage, but I believe that using 'forced labor' (euphemism for slavery) is their main source of $$$.

Also most prisons the world over are not for profit businesses.

The Norwegian justice system is far too lenient. In Norway you can get convicted of murder and be out in just five years and plus those prisons are very expensive to maintain and they all come that the taxpayers expense.

Give me an example of which country has a better prison system.

[-] Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I would say Russia or maybe Theiland. Those countries really punish criminals so you wouldn't want to be seen dead doing something illegal in those countries.
