Introduction
America has the highest incarceration rates, at 724 people per 100,000. Whereas Norway’s incarceration rate is just 75 per 100,000 people. In addition, when criminals in Norway leave prison they stay out. They have one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world at 20%. I quickly learned that their country relies on a concept called “restorative justice” which aims to repair the harm caused by crime rather than punish people. This system focuses on rehabilitating prisoners. America is not utilizing this concept, which is why prison continues to be a revolving door. My research question is: Should America enhance and modify their prison system conditions to benefit the inmates by humanizing them? Source 1:
