Good Times piece on the radical mildness of Norway's prisons. Norway and the U.S. ARE comparable, btw. http://nyti.ms/1I542eB
People who say U.S. and countries like Germany, Norway "aren't comparable" in sphere of social policy are against ALL comparison.

Americans who say U.S. and countries like Germany, Norway "aren't comparable" in sphere of criminal justice are know-nothings, smug yokels.

@ChMadar And likely racist. We're not comparable because we have a lot of black and brown people to lock up. -
@crankyactivist It is racist! This crap that "oh, they have a homogenous population" sounds to me like "we can't treat black ppl that way."
