Prison inmate: We get puppies, ice cream and flowers

Heated floors, bike rides, and five-star cooking classes. Welcome to prison in Norway. It looks nothing like most prisons in the US. That's because Norway's prison system is designed with three core values in mind: normality, humanity and rehabilitation. The point of incarceration in Norway, they say, is to make inmates "better neighbors" once they are released -- and they take that mission very seriously.

Criminal Records is just the most badass name for a recording studio ever

That's literally better than being homeless in america wtf.

The judge in Norway: You're grounded for one year.

“We punish them them by taking away their freedom, but we don’t take away their life”

Wow that quote made me very happy

[JosephChancey]

"Take away their freedom but don't take away their life" enough said

[itszyad]

I lost it when I saw that their band is called "criminal records"

Damn Norway...

>”They don’t have the drug problems”
>First guy is literally in jail for drug trafficking

When you realize that prisoners in norway live better than you...

[pollymuyt]

Adult: “what do you want to become when you grow up?”
Child: “norwegian inmate”

[rainemiller]

These inmates live better than probably 50% of all American residents

Isn't it ironic that when the prisons aren't a living hell the residivism rates are actually lower?

[chrisleung]

Prisoners in Norway have better living in prison compared to about 90% of the people living on Earth.

As much as I enjoyed this video, my right ear did not.

[slimjim]

If I were homeless, I guess i'm going to start drug trafficking.

[djsal]

In USA we have a broken society and that's the fact. Even for a homeless person the Norway prison looks like a luxury place.

Damn, I guess A$AP Rocky will be fine

"We punish them by taking away their freedom but we don't take away their lives." Scandinavia has a very mature way of dealing with their problems.

[redfootwalking]

When you treat people with compassion, you will have a person who is easily rehabilitated. The prison system here in America is a business...it's far more than just putting people away, it's much more than that...and for that reason alone, it will not want to change their plan.

"we punish them by taking away their freedom, not taking away their life." i like that alot

[frozetei]

Ah yes. The decendants of the Vikings don't have a predatory instinct
