The only thing I know about Norwegian prisons comes from the photos I posted earlier today. I know about American prisons & I know Americans, they'd never put up with a prison system like Norway appears to have. You go to prison to be punished here and that's as it should be.
Might go to Norway and commit a ton of murders, looks like a pretty chillin prison.

Tell me, what exactly makes that different from a person murdering another for the cash in his wallet, or an inheritance? I just cannot comprehend how with that mindset, a society is supposed to ever raise sane, caring, happy people.
Look, guys, we will probably never see eye to eye with each other about this, but at least take a moment to ponder if the money that a human being costs is really a good basis to decide upon his/her death. Because if the general consensus will be that it is - boy am I going to buy me some nice, shiny weapons...
Ironically, it costs much more here (at least in California) to attempt to put a prisoner to death than to just stick them in jail for the rest of their lives.
Bullshit, that is not true.
