  • Many inmates in Finland live in “open prisons,” where they are allowed to own a vehicle, leave for work or school, and host overnight guests. Now, the country is funding educational programs where prisoners learn technology skills like artificial intelligence.

    I think a lot of people misunderstand that what makes it work isn't just the jail system. It is only one part of the system. Finland has only 3,000 inmates (which proportionally is like 1/10 of the US incarceration rate per capita) because before there are these kinds of prisons, there is a system that offers free university, college, or practical education; free mental health services and homeless prevention measures like state-owned housing; regular prisons to house dangerous inmates, all of these things lead into programs like this for them to function properly. Any social welfare system has to be comprehensive or it doesn't function. The same goes for healthcare or drug legalization. It has to be a complete plan, not just changing one rule, or nothing will change.
    Finland's government is also incredibly strong. If you ever hear their primeminister or president speak they actually sound like real people instead of actors. Their country isn't very big so they actually have to behave like a real human being instead of a lizard in a skinsuit.

I think the fact that Russia is a perpetual existential threat for Finland means they can't afford delusion or a lapse in judgement, which helps their decision making a lot. They are also a small country which helps keep their leaders accountable since generally the smaller the group, the better the management.

    This is brilliant. I know it's hard to imagine that a murderer may become happier in prison than in their civilian life, but that's because they have no other options but to learn and engage. Most people who commit crimes do so because they have fewer options and intelligence than the average citizen because of how and where they grew up. Supplying ways for them to continue their education is a way out of their darkness and an opportunity to actually become a better person.

If he was arrested for selling drugs and a crime that was due to poverty or poor judgment that didn't get someone killed, I would agree with this.

In fact, the reason I wrote this was because I did a little research after looking at this comment and found out it was mostly true(the comment, that is). I was highly doubtful after watching, however, that Finland could afford to do this for even 1/10 of the prisoners they contain, which is why after scrolling in the comments and reading this, it made me more confident in that train of thought, and like I mentioned before, I did just a little bit of research and found out it was true.

Plus once you have some other (often very common) mental illness like depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc... which people also don't choose, getting into substance abuse is much more likely. Some people simply can't cope with reality and thus try to escape with alcohol and various other drugs. Plus, alcohol is legal while much more harmless drugs like LSD or MDMA are illegal. It makes no sense. So yes, addicts should totally get treatment instead of being punished and suffering even more from that punishment.

      Yeah but both kill you and both people need help. Also the vast majority of deaths by both are preventable with better life choices. There are cases where diseases aren't preventable, a lot of the in fact, all sorts of conditions that have no root cause other than genes. But you should still help people with preventable diseases even though they choose to live in an unhealthy way that gave them heart disease or any other major killer. The same goes with drug addiction even though it is more directly tied to your current choices. You also wouldn't not try and get your friend help after he puts his house on black in roulette, because no one in their right mind would make such a preventable bad choice. However, these people often aren't in their right mind which is why they need support. @@sew_gal7340

It doesn't matter if justice is served, all that matters is whether it leads to a more peaceful society. Sure it's unfair that someone convicted of murder leads such an easy life when their victim's life is cut short, but life isn't fair and the average "justice" system is more about societies cohesion than actually serving justice to people. I'd rather live in a nation that errs on the side of leniency than one that uses prisoners for profit.

I can definitely see how rehabilitating criminals into productive members of society can be a net positive for everyone, specifically in the case of lesser crimes like drug dealing, theft, etc where heavy handed punishments don’t really make sense.
      That being said, could you imagine being brutally raped by someone, only for the courts to do nothing but train him and land him a cushy tech job? Or to have a family member murdered only for the same thing to happen? It’s a giant slap in the face. I’m also curious what happens to reoffenders, do they get trained again in a different field or something?

You have taken the ability to experience life, with all its pain and joy, from someone and in the process have also hurt their family as they now grieve while also dimishing the safety the ppl in that nation once felt. So it is only right to either lock u up for life ( which would drain the nation's resources at the expense of a murderer ) or treat u the same way u hv treated ur victim. So when u look it this way, is it not better to give such ppl a death sentence. U must understand that this is not a matter of revenge but rather a means of way to bring justice for the victim, the family and the nation.

    What I've gotten from the video. Jail is / could be for readjustment for people who strived from the path (who can be readjusted back into society, not psychopaths), so they can be valuable highly skilled people / workers for the country again, and not just a burden to get fed through.
    I suppose a smarter country is sometimes a safer country (regarding people in a general sense).

    Don’t forget beyond all this gloss and happiness, that he KILLED someone. Someone’s mother, or father, brother or sister. Someone that is buried in the ground and never coming back. He took a life of someone that didn’t get the opportunities he has received. He’s so cavalier about working and being an entrepreneur, but what about the family of his victim? I’m all for this type of treatment for lower-severity prisoners, but to let a murderer walk the streets? That’s not punishment.
