Benefits of a more humane prison are discussed. Incarceration rates are so much higher in the US that such a design philosophy would never be popularized. US 750 per 100,000 vs 66 per 100,000 in Norway.
Another story on the Halden prison, which notes:
"In Norway, the incarceration rate is about 75/100,000 people, and the recidivism rate is the lowest in the world at around 20 percent. In the US, more than 700/100,000 people are incarcerated, and more than 70 percent of freed inmates are re-arrested within five years."
