The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world: It

U.S. prisons are dangerously overcrowded, house 10 times as many
mentally ill individuals as state hospitals, keep people locked up for
unfathomably long periods of time, are plagued by inmate abuse and hold
a far greater percentage of the country's black population than South
Africa did under apartheid. Nearly two-thirds of the inmates released
every year return to prison; crippling discrimination in employment and
housing encumbers the ones who manage to function. This is all to say
that if you are convicted of an imprisonable crime in the U.S., you
generally get shown little mercy.

Sweden's prison system boasts impressive numbers. As the Guardian notes,
in the past decade, the number of Swedish prisoners has dropped from
5,722 to 4,500 out of a population of 9.5 million. The country has
closed a number of prisons, and the recidivism rate is around 40%, which
is far less than in the U.S. and most European countries.

They should take some of our prisoners into their closed facilities.
Good luck with them.Â* Apples and oranges.

But that's the problem, you won't even consider trialling their system.
Your system is not working and all you are doing is filling up your
prisons and building more and more.
There has to be another way.

Hey! I know! The U.S. government should put YOU in charge of the nation's prison systems and you could let all the Negro inmates run free! That way, no one could call you a racist. If they had fathers to teach them to behave when they were savage children they wouldn't grow up to be savage adults. The time to keep someone out of a life of crime is when they are children. Thanks to Socialist programs, there are a lot of fatherless savages running amok. In the UK, you're importing a lot of savages from The Middle East who want to kill all you Infidel and take over your country. Once you allow them in, they breed like rabbits and will soon outnumber the natives. Destructive invasive species are like that. You have your own problems. Why don't you address those predicaments before before criticising others. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
