CHAI IS TEA!!!!!!
Im from Norway and i can confirm. All prisons feed their prisoners very good food and let them have every good thing you could do outside because we think giving people a brand new start with fun activities can make them a better person.

wrong, this is only privilege allowed for 'real'(white) Norwegians.
Same goes for Denmark and Sweden. Except for Denmark where they also recognize people from Greenland as their 'citizen'(quotation because there are some exceptions - they now built a Greenlandian prison at Greenland - "Inside world's most toughest prisons" on Netflix shows it)

That one spiderman in across the spiderverse: Chai tea!? CHAI MEANS TEA
Except Mike isn't in India, and Chai tea in the US refers to a specific type of tea with extra spices, milk, and sugar.
Now, would you like to travel to the Sahara Desert (Sahara means desert)?
@@westrimThis is exactly it. Chai tea is a specific kind of spiced tea in the US. In Czech Republic it’s čaj čaj, since čaj is just tea.
Yeah, that guy (and his writer) doesn't understand how language works. Anime is just short for "animeshon" and is used for ALL animation, not just what's made in Japan, and regardless of style (especially since there are plenty of Japanese anime that don't have "anime style") while in English, anime generally means Japanese animation and animation styled after the most common Japanese styles (like ATLA)
Chai may just mean "tea" but we HAVE tea in English speaking places outside of India, but for most of them, "Chai" is used specifically to refer to an Indian style tea.
Ye
@@westrim no one asked
“Chai tea”
*The Indians now have LawByMike on the bingo book*

Even ppl from other countries.
bro this whole "ooo chai already means tea" is such a stupid thing ngl lol. when people say chai tea they specifically mean tea made the way they do in india. "chai" is used more as the type not literally meaning tea tea
but hey, idk tho
dont forget about us pakistanis.hes the next hit.
@@guitarzer0hero well these people who say it say it wrong im pakistani ik.tea and all type of tea is called chai and vice versa.
As a norvegian person i can confirm the prisons here look like hotels 💀
And judging by the low reoffender rate it works pretty good.
Just don’t go there, there might be a warzone goin on
Weird how even by treating thugs as human being they tend to not go back as often.
it's almost like cruelty for cruelty sake doesn't actually work. Sure it'll appease the victims though. But at what cost
Do sexual reoffenders get the same treatment there?
plot twist the wight souse is cum
Sad reality of Indian prisons: Most of the prison is occupied by suspects rather than actual criminals. Our judiciary system is trash.
Agree
I feel america is still worse, it's a guilt until proven innocent and sometimes that leads to death sentences without actually doing anything.
One important thing to note about Alcatraz, because of the fact that it was on an island, the guards would stay there long-term and ate the same food as the inmates.
WELCOME TO CALL OF DUTY!!!
So it was also to keep the guards happy. I mean if I was stuck eating prison food I'd want something better. I mean you might as well make good food. I mean especially if you're stuck eating it.
Yeah, nothing more gormet than chili dogs and pudding
@@pauldzim Mike really downplayed the Alcatraz menu. They'd often have stuff like croquettes, herb-crusted pork chops, jambalaya, etc. with a choice of a soup of the day and desserts like freshly made cakes and pies, though yes they did dine on pudding and Jell-o as well.
This was back in the times when Jell-o and pudding were actually still considered pretty luxurious foods because they're pretty hard to make from scratch.
In the early 1900s Jell-o (the brand) made the dessert ubiquitous and easy to prepare, but it still had a good reputation as a desirable food instead of just "junk". A Jell-o tower was the centerpiece of one of the first class meals on the Titanic for example.

The best part is that the prisons who give their prisoners decent meals, or just treat them decently in general, have extremely low reincarceration rates.
This is the thing, people want prisoners to be punished so have horrible prisons, but if you do that you are almost guaranteeing they'll reoffend. Treat people like animals and they'll get worse, give them maybe the only kindness and access to a decent standard of living they've had and they'll improve.

My Brain: CALL OF DUTY
I formerly worked in a jail kitchen as a "chef supervisor". I worked with trustees and we served either sweet cornbread or a relatively basic but still good cake square with each meal. It really is true that good meals lower violence as the one week we didn't have cake, the inmates were furious.
There are way too many similarities between nursing homes and prisons 😅
How you think ima believe that
Thats the stupid thing in this world thinking upgrading and giving to troublemakers what they want will relax them, if i was a warden they would eat off the floor and if a problem accured than to solitary, but i guess prisoners deserve better then our veterans and elders, same thing goes for democracy worldwide look at iran, gaza and more getting what they want otherwise they just threat the world so they ask for more money for their own

And it’s even proven that Norway’s prisons are better, they have a 30% reoffending rate! Where it’s up to 82% in the United States.
The U.S' population is 60 times bigger than Norway's, and with that comes its own slew of problems. Poor prison conditions don't even scratch the surface of why the rate of re-offense in the U.S. is so high.
@@felixargyle3659Then could you explain why the percentage is so high
@@felixargyle3659 not to mention the extremely high cost per prisoner from which a large part goes to the prison industry. Sometimes it cost half a million per year over there
@@felixargyle3659 percentage isn't affected by larger numbers 🤦♂️
It's quite simple really. Given people with very little a luxury and threaten to take it away if they act out of line. We also do it with kittens and inmates. Harden Prisoners bond with the kittens and will do anything to not be separated from them. It produces very compliant people. It's also why people stay at abusive dead-end jobs.
The fishing and other activities like that can also help prisoners to fit better into society when they come back

Remember that prisons are meant to keep dangerous people away from harmless ones, not to torture them
Prisons really should be grouped for danger, if you're passive in prison get out in the 1/5 danger prison, if you attack people just because you can in the 5/5 prison instead of arbitrarily putting possibly innocent people in with monsters.
@@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1024that is already how it works. Do you ever see prisoners picking up garbage on the side of the road? Those people are from a low security prison.

Here in norway we realise that if you manage a population known for violent tendencies. making them happier, more productive people helps. most parts of our prisons are run to let inmates improve themselves while in there. a really important part of this, is education. I had a social studies teacher once who had been a teacher in prison. and it's not just us, I believe at least sweden, finland and denmark are mostly similar with their prisons
if mike sees this, I hope he makes/has made a short on this kinda thing.
The civilised world has realised retributive justice does not work and tries to do restorative justice instead, where the goal of prison is not punishment but a successful reintegration of a convict into society.
Scandinavia is maybe furthest down the road to making that change.
There's a great TED talk about this by a US state attorney called Jeffrey Rosen, comparing US and German prisons.
yeah and Norway has the highest deaths by mass shooting per capita out of any country on earth
Might not really work for religious fanatics like we have in EU though
@@nightlust everyone deserves a humane and respectful treatment.
In the US you always here harsher punishments.. has that worked? Even the death penalty does not deter anyone.
THIS! Reintegration into society is so important! If you set excons up to fail in society as soon as they get out, then you will just make them commit crimes again.
In Germany it's fairly common that prisoners can even go out of prison for the day, when they have served part of their sentence. And there is also educational programs and social worker helping you set up your life after prison. So when you get out, you actually have a chance to contribute in society by working and having contact with people who are not criminals.
For U.S. this is somehow a very strange concept and even teenagers dont actually get help while in prison. Thinking people need to be punished is such an old way if thinking and also the moral level of young kids. Consequences are much more effective: you do bad things, you need to be taken out of your enviroment for some time and you have to deal with what you have done (therapy, counseling etc). That might be annoying but needs to be done. Some people might even "enjoy" the structure and the help they get in prison, because they have not had that experience growing up. And if they do, then how is that bad? Retribution is not the solution in my opinion.
The Norwegian prison understands that prison is about rehabilitation rather than just locking someone up and expecting them to be rehabilitated just from being locked up for an extended period of time
All prisons should focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment
True punishing wont teach anything.
What a naive take, imagine someone does smth that rhymes w vape to ur ma/sis and they get sent to a castle
@@christiangaming-fy6rvYea exactly... These are all brain-dead
@@christiangaming-fy6rv Then they do. It's not the victim's business what happens to the perp after imprisonment. Hopes are that the person rehabilitates, and never considers doing whatever they did again. If not, then they'll stay locked up. Terrible conditions in jail just increase reoffenses and make the inmates even more spiteful. It's not about revenge, it's about teaching a lesson that should last the rest of that person's life

It's totally normal Norwegian food. Sounds disgusting, I know, but it's quite good. And it's not gourmet as he said. It's usually very finely ground cod mixed with milk, potato starch and salt. The sauce is a bechamel usually with a pinch of curry and some of the liquid that the fish balls are packaged in.

Yes, there are indeed people that, apparently, unlike you, do NOT have access to all knowledge that exists, nor is anyone required to know everything. So yes, i am sure there is people that havent heard of it, i am sure there are things you havent heard of either.
"Chai tea? chai means tea ur saying tea tea would I ask you for a coffee coffee with some cream cream?"
yes it's called chai tea in English

Yes because "tea" means nothing on its own in English, hence why they add descriptors infront of them.
This is a tired point that everyone says to sound smart.
Koffee koffee white or black

Pretty simple thing about Norway
They understood that locking someone who has done bad things to treat him like shit is not a good definitive solution.
So they treat every prisonner like a human being in the hope the said person will one day be better.
alcatraz, where we see anime people swapping guns and sliding faster than 0.000001miliseconds
I was about to say that
Because norway understands that prison shouldn't be a business. Treating prisoners like human beings, and providing skill training and
ACTUAL rehabilitation; eliminates the probabilty of repeat offenders.
Its not just that. Food is like one of the few things a prisoner gets to appreciate or enjoy in most part of the world, these people are in general more violent and have MANY more disorders than average people, a flat out awful meal could easily among that many people like that be enough to cause anger at least or violence at worst over something needless.
There are very few people or crimes evil enough for me to say "This person should be forced to eat food that is borderline disgusting"
Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
@@heofnorenownbetter than repeating the cycle
@@heofnorenown mercy to the guilty rehabilitates criminals so they dont make more innocents. People arent born evil, and anyone can change
The chair be lookin cold today
If you think about it, prison exists mainly to keep bad people from running lose in society. This good food approach could help prevent prison breaks, which keeps these bad people from entering society before they’ve changed for the better. We need more rehabilitation services for prisoners.
Yes. People need to see food as a preemptive security expense, and a tool of control.
Can take away the good food for punishment.
I am all for that. In fact prisoners should be growing their own food too. Those always seemed like the best prisons I have seen toured. Not as many problems as others.
Exactly in the US we focus way way to much on punishment where when the I divide all is released, the majority end up right back in prison I think it is above 50 percent.
While for Norway for example it is rare for someone to end up back in prison since they focus on the rehabilitation

As a Norwegian, the prisoners are living almost better than me
One time, i where listening to a prisoner talking about how it was to be locked up, and rember this was in sweden wher the prisons are like hotels, the prisoner said, even if it is gold you are in a cage, and even if the cage is made out of gold it is still a cage, i rather live on the street
Yeah, the official term for prison sentences in German law is "deprivation of freedom" and that doesn't just mean prison cell, it generally means that you cannot decide yourself anymore what you do or do not do. Like, what you suddenly have to do: Learn a trade and go to therapy.
Should have been in Finlande
Don't care. They're being treated better than the average law abiding citizen. Those same citizens whose rights they abused which landed them in prison in the first place.
@@thelemurofmadagascar9183 can i place you inside a house and give you all the things you want, but you can't leave the house in like 10 years, would you be able to do it?
@@thelemurofmadagascar9183Freedom is the biggest right every citizen has, and taking that away already makes someone have drastically less rights than the average citizen.
Even if a prison fed prisoners luxury meals everyday, theyd still have less rights than the average citizen because they dont have freedom. Theyre stuck in there. Bored. Forced to contemplate their actions. No reason to be violent because of their treatment.
This leads to low recidivism rates, which is good for overall society.

Old prisons actually were horrible places to be. I've done so much research and the way some of the men (and a few women) were treated was awful. A few would mix in actual sh!t with the foods.
Humans getting actual nutrition even tho they committed the ultimate sin of crime? Craaaaaazy.
Who would've thought they want these dudes to reintegrate to society and be regarded as people still
