Wtf indeed, I’ve been fed a big lat lie my whole life.
We were always thought that the good thing about Norwegian democracy was that any single person could make a difference.
«If you see something, say something».
So if you work for the public, you should expect the public to call you out on your bullshit, but as I’m apparently going to find out…
It doesn’t work like that.
Compared to US prisons I think it’s true.
But from our point of view, it’s nothing like a resort.
It’s basically concentration camp with «nice» housing.
You learn to build benches and shit like that, rehabilitation they call it.
But the main objective is to punish by taking away your freedom and humanity.
So for those of us who have education, job experience and all that, as in not actually criminals, it’s straight up punishment.
When I can afford to leave, I’m leaving this country for good.
