Im from Venezuela. My country is the worst country of South America in a lot of things and one of the most violent of the entire world. The prison in the Island or Margarita is a shame for all the Venezuelans. Those inmates are in control of the prison. They can get out of the prison and return whatever they want. They can kill people outside the prison, they can rape people outside the people, and they CAN RETURN SAFELY to the prison like the prison was some fuck@n hotel. Those inmates extort innocent people outside prison. There is a gang called "El tren de aragua" that controls those prisons. There are the PRANS (they called themselves like that) and they are the most violent killers in that prison and they are the rulers of that prison. All of that with the authorization of the Maduro's regime. The inmates are allowed to have cellphones inside the prison and text SMS and call people to extort them and to tell that if they don't pay them money, they are going to kill them and going to kill their families. I'm a fan of Larry Lawton, but this topic enraged me because my people of Venezuela are starving to death ( i am not, thankfully) and those animals/criminals are outside in the streets forcing us to return to our homes before 5:00 pm because they are the owners of the streets and police here are criminals too.

As a native Norwegian, I always have to defend why prisoners should have a high standard of living whenever people from other countries outside Europe ask me about it. Im super happy to hear that you understand exactly why we should treat prisoners like human beings and not as animals. Its not about not giving them punishment, taking away their freedom is punishment enough. Its about making them good people for when they get out, not just for us as members of society, but also from a socio economic perspective. Just take a number from earlier (somewhere bewteen 2010 and 2014 I cant remember) where recidivism rates in the US was up to 80% and in Norway was 20%. And most of the arguements i get back is "Well, what if a man murdered your entire family". Most of the crimes committed are not about a man murdering my entire family, its about people like junkies. And now take a junkie in either Norway or US. This person will cost society large sums of tax money through legal proceedings and free legal help from the state. They will cost money for insurance companies if they break or steal stuff to enforce their drug habits. If the person being stolen from doesnt have insurance, the cost will be directly from that person which sucks even more. If they overdose, they cost more tax money because EMT's have to revive them and give them beta blockers which cost money. They also cost money in time where police have to deal with them, and the police could spend more time catching people like murderers or rapists. Would you rather that the state try and rehabilitate that person, give them education and help, so that when they get out they can actually contribute to society? Or are you gonna punish them like animals and have them repeat the "do crime -> do time -> get out -> do crime -> do time" etc? And if a man kills my entire family, I would wish him dead. But if he doesnt die, when he gets out, I would hope that he was a functioning member of society and not murdering someones elses family.

I feel like we in america get so caught up in our illusion of Justice in wanting prisoners to be “locked up to rot” that we often forget that we need to Rehabilitate people too. But people would rather ruin people’s lives over a mistake or bad situation, because those who aren’t in that kind of situation just feel that the convicted don’t deserve a chance to be better because “why don’t I get that chance when I haven’t done anything illegal??” It’s quite sad.

There is research in peer reviewed journals that shows a strong correlation between keeping family together and going strait after being in prison (UK slang for not commiting any further crimes). One thing I found interesting is that either in Norway or Sweden there is a prison where you are expected to do two jobs. One is cleaning etc, the other is education. What many forget is that prisons ae supposed to be about rehabilitation as well as punishment. The incarceration in itself is the punishment. Some of these guys in the prison mentioned did not know how to use a washing machine or hoover etc effectively. They get taught how to do that as well as the wall washing floor sweeping and associated tasks. The only place I have seen more spotless is a barracks when the inspection is due.Wish I could find those articles again but they were behind a paywall.

You got it exactly right. The emphasis in Germany is threefold- 1. crime prevention (in the sense of giving youth many options for hobbies & activities, 6 weeks paid vacation per year and avoiding poverty through affordable healthcare, etc.) 2. deescalation when it seems a crime could happen at any moment and 3. rehabilitation if a crime is taken place. Having grown up in the US, my memory of it is that it's much more about scaring people into what would happen if they committed a crime- not about trying to show them why there are better options. Then it's all about punishiment, punishment, punishment once a crime has been commited.

Like losing access to the internet, only being able to eat what I'm given when it's given to me even if it's good food, loss of access to hiking, climbing, fishing, choice of friends, even choice of clothing, etc...I need my brain stimulated or I start to go crazy. Crapping in a bucket around people? Meh... You get used to it pretty quick.

In Europe we can have these prisons and rehabilitation due to that we are paying taxes and prisons are not privately owned (except Scotland apparently) like in the US.

If you feel bad, don't worry: Brazilian Penal Code is much, much and much worse than USA: -> Here the maximum sentence is 30 years and AWAYS have a reduction; -> Prisoners can be temporarily released at Christmas or even have intimate visits; -> A teenager can't spent more than 3 years in jail, NO MATTER what crime that committed; -> The supreme court is chasing, fining and censuring anyone who criticizes it; -> The supreme court releases politicians convicted for corruption and even dangerous drug dealers; -> The corrupt president appoints his lawyer to the supreme court and he will be appointed; -> The supreme court overrides the autonomy of states and municipalities when a law they don't like is passed (like a project from State of Sao Paulo to ban cellphones in prisions); -> Every project to make laws and a better penal code isn't approved and when it is, the supreme court overturns it; -> The media and human rights NGO's promove degeneracy and laws worse than the ones that already exist. This is a sample. There are many other that we brazilians need to carry. So, if you feel bad for this woman remember that here the things are extremely worse.

Hey La... I gotta pick you up on this. You featured Addiewell prison in Scotland (it's nowhere near Aberdeen which is far northern Scotland, addiewell is deep south) that aside, you should know that ots not what it appears from the promo video you saw.. obviously I don't know where you got your info but I've been in most if the prisons in Scotland and addiewell is almost the same as all the rest.. terrible food, abusive guards, rife with drugs and 20+ hours lock up (if you don't work). Addiewell was a new digital learning, flagship prison run by a private company (almost all prisons in the UK are run by the government) it was supposed to be the way forward and offered to rehab prisoners through education and has a 21st century digital computer class but it's all BS. it's run exactly the same as all other prisons . All prisons offer education..it's not mandatory and usually in excess of 75% of inmates have only very basic educations so they should be targeting those prisoners and bringing their education levels up to high school standards. A recent govt. report showed 40% of inmates claim to have been bullied by staff. 60% were unhappy with cleanliness and 85% complained about the food. I spent 9 months there and it's not a bad prison.. it's just shit like all the rest.. the only difference is you can email your family and tell them to raise complaints about the dirty conditions, shit food and bullying by guards.😅

@LarryLawton I’m from Austria and you have to say that Leoben is just for pre-trial detention and sentences up to a maximum of 18months, believe me our real prisons are way worse besides having a tv you’re still in a cell with 1-7 other persons. Most of the time if we say you’re in a cell for max. 4 persons you’re in there with 5 people, you can apply that to all “cell-classes” 😅 the sanitation system is also most of the time really old and mold is nearly everywhere in the older Austrian prisons so I just wanted to say Leoben is truly an exception from the other prisons here and I would say if you’re not directly from Leoben or The Steiermark where Leoben is located u got zero chance to land there because if you’re having “only up to 18months” u stay in your hometurf federal state. Don’t know why but I just wanted to state some facts about our prison system please excuse me 😂

Love the videos Larry. Keep em coming. I definitely don't believe the incarcerated deserve to live in hell or be mistreated. their time is their punishment. the prison's shouldnt be there to make it more difficult. however i don't believe it should ever be "upscale" or "inviting". I've worked in corrections for over a decade now in the Chicago area. these young "kids" coming in need a wake up call.

Hello Larry I love your videos they definitely help my realize how good I have it in life. Even when I watch when I'm going through stuff. I'm watching from up in CANADA. Up here we have a Dangerous Offender named Paul Bernardo he just got moved to Medium Security from Maximum. It's making major Headlines up here. I'll let you google it and would love to hear your thoughts. WARNING HIS CRIMES ARE DISTURBING to who ever Google's Him.

I am ultimately all for rehabilitation and think it's awful the state of some of the US prisons but at the same time, I feel like the tax payers shouldn't be burdened with the costs of some of these amentities that these prisoners have. Some of these places are better than the places that poverty stricken are treated I mean some of these places are nicer than their actual life. I feel like it actually encourage crime for some people based on how nice these are.

I can't really speak for any other country than Norway, but if I asked people here if they want to go to prison they would say no (yes, even if it's Halden Prison). Why sacrifice your freedom to do anything just to be sent into a limited area you can't leave with very limited things to do compared to the outside? The personal space you get is very limited compared to what you can get outside prison. Even if you get the personal space, the "guards" will still check in on you. If you feel encouraged to do crime to get into a prison here, there are way better options provided to help you get back up. Let's not compare with America which looks like a third world country compared with Norway.

Larry, those prisons are just the first expense and the only one the state "owns in perpetuity" In most of those countries the hundreds of thousands spent on psychiatric evals and patient work, skills assessment, skills trainers and facilities, much of which is pure risk as prisoners walk out with all those benefits- hopefully to become better neighbors and taxpayers. And the statistics say it works, and after it get rolling , cost more per individual and less annually for the state. Recivity figures well below 10%, for one. Name a state in the US that can do that. Great piece, Larry- don't be shy about detailing the systems that grew them and the results they get. You have the big ink here, all I have are a few dots and time after working as a volunteer in Louisiana- which was among the most depressing years of my life.
