[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 16909, member: 22"] There's an island in Norway where they do this exact thing, and it works very well. Trains the prisoners in different jobs, forces them to live in a society and be civilized, and gives them goals that they need to attain. Hell, prisoners even operate the ferry to and from the island and they've had no escapes and extremely low recidivism rates. Agreed that could work for non-institutionalized offenders, particularly on the younger side of the scale, but the US has institutionalized so many offenders that it would be hard to get those ones to change. In general the US needs to focus more on rehabilitation and punitive measures beyond incarceration, but that's another topic for another time. [/QUOTE]
