Everything about Finland is genuinely admirable, from the capable politicians to the high-quality education system to the prison system, the lot. Finland's approach is very productive not to mention it can have crucial results that can change many lives for the better. It's no wonder Finland is the happiest country in the world and such title is more than well-earned.
Será que essa felicidade é real para todos? E os que tiveram os familiares assassinados, será que rejubilam a morte de seus parentes dizendo: Nossa, que maravilha, que alegria! O assassino do meu filho está tão feliz pois está vivendo como um rei com meus impostos, hoje vou visitá-lo, e vou dar meu cu para ele, pois estou muito feliz. Deve ser a tal ponto essa felicidade.
I wish it was true, but it's not nearly as perfect as it's made out to be. Sure, Finland is still better then many or most places, but the system is crumbling fast at the moment, because of corrupt politicians who are ruining the country. They are driving many, many people to despair. "Happiest country in the world" sounds like a cruel joke to many people in Finland. That's the truth about Finland, coming from a Finnish person.
@@GirlfromFinland I agree 100%! It's so annoying. People are made to think we live in some kind of dream land. It's not true. There is no ideal country in this world.
I remember I read a news story of a Finnish prison where the guard left his key behind and the prisoners found it. They didn't try to escape or cause a riot. They went into the kitchen and baked a cake
But think for a second, why is that such an absurd thing - the only reason we deprive prisoners of rights etc. is because that’s what we’re taught to think like
nah. move to Norway. You get like 12 years for murder and it’s the best prison system in the world. They shake your hand when you get there. You get a suite with your own bathroom. Your girlfriend or wife can visit you twice a week for conjugal visits.
Varg Vikernes spent years in a Norwegian prison, he didn't have the best experience. Norway is also a police state, complete control and they can take your children away for any made-up reason (I'm Swedish and leaving Norway this year).
I think the people in the comments need to understand that “open prisons” are an alternative. When you’ve shown that your trustworthy and willing to rehabilitate they will put you in the program
@@severusfloki5778 There's a very big reason to mention that, have you looked in the comments? The vast majority of them are quite blatantly persuaded that this is, somehow, the life of(probably) every single Finnish prisoner. I would state with a very high level of confidence, looking at all the comments, that 90%+ of the people viewing the video would be surprised at the 2nd sentence of the original commenter's comment. In fact, the reason I wrote this was because I did a little research after looking at this comment and found out it was mostly true(the comment, that is). I was highly doubtful after watching, however, that Finland could afford to do this for even 1/10 of the prisoners they contain, which is why after scrolling in the comments and reading this, it made me more confident in that train of thought, and like I mentioned before, I did just a little bit of research and found out it was true. Propaganda is everywhere, and you'd be surprised how much credulity the the average youtube watcher holds.
@Abdulkarim Elnaas What would the goal be? socialistn paradise clout really doesnt get you much as a nation except maybe more tourism? Finland is not really opening its borders for immigrations either and pretty sure this wouldn't effect trade. Yes, they didn't include things like the requirements to get in, but its a puff piece under 10 mins. Not a hard hitting deep dive into the merits or cons of the system. Why do you think its a deliberate ploy by finland instead of the more likely answer that the editor just didn't include a bunch of stuff from the interviews.
Not all of them do. These are lower level offenders. This extreme example of someone who took a life but lives in this kind of prison is an outlier. . They do have prisons of no return, it's just that they're less populated.
But murder is sth that shld not go unpunished. You have taken the ability to experience life, with all its pain and joy, from someone and in the process have also hurt their family as they now grieve while also dimishing the safety the ppl in that nation once felt. So it is only right to either lock u up for life ( which would drain the nation's resources at the expense of a murderer ) or treat u the same way u hv treated ur victim. So when u look it this way, is it not better to give such ppl a death sentence. U must understand that this is not a matter of revenge but rather a means of way to bring justice for the victim, the family and the nation.
A Finn here. To clear up any confusion: this is NOT how all our prisons work. We still have ”normal” prisons for dangerous criminals. This is an ”open” variant, that usually houses criminals with less severe convictions, and those that are finishing their sentences. Matti here has served many years in a normal prison, before being transferred to his current prison. Before that professionals have studied him completely to decide if he’s ready to rehabilitate into the society. I’d guess most murderers don’t pass that test. I’ve personally met Matti many times, you’d never know he’s a murderer. I thought he was a regular student, before one of my friends told me what he did. It’s weird to concider someone a nice guy, that I’ve always been happy to work with, and then find out they killed someone in the past. Well, better that he rehabilitates and hopefully makes something of himself, than have him spend the rest of his life in prison. Edit on 08/2022: Read the whole explanation before commenting. Matti’s prison time is coming to and end. That’s why he’s in the prison he is in: to rehabilitate to society, to make himself useful. I’ve gotten so many comments and messages about ”how is murder not a serious crime?” It is. And that’s why he has spent 10 years in a max security prison. Reading is really not that hard.
He seems normal because he may be a sociopath. Most Mentally disturbed humans that do sick crimes fit into everyday society like regular people but are capable of doing heinous things
Most people in the world can't comprehend this. In my country he will only plan his next killing. We have a lovely 80% return rate to prison. A murder sentence in my country can be as little as 15 years, so 8 to 10 on good behavior and you are back on the street killing again. We literally have guys that has been two prison three times for murder and did three different life sentences at different times and they still get out before they reach retirement age?
@@wlk2408 In my country we have nearly a 100% return to prison rate a murder sentence can be as little as 5 months so 8-10 weeks and your out, killing again. We legit have guys here who have been two prison 9 times and did 9 life sentences still out on the street
My best firends borhter who is much older was in prison for 5 years from 2015 till 2020 I was super supprised by his stories of how confused he was when he got out. How fast the tech has evolved. How many new games came out. He is 30 now, and yet all of that is super supprising. He was in for organizing iligel tech imports, but he was cought with weed

@@KirkHermary yes. Because normally that person has been repeatedly failed by the state apparatus that should have been educating, supporting and caring for them. Did you never wonder why countries with low levels of inequality and poverty, and good physical and mental healthcare, have lower crime rates? Obviously there's outlying cases, but you almost always see massive spikes in criminality when people are angry and resentful about their circumstances, and lack the resources to fix their situation by any other means or the education to understand why that's happening and who is ultimately at fault. The real world isn't like Hollywood.
@@KirkHermary yes. There's a reason crime, particularly violent crime, is much lower in countries that have better economic equality and higher levels of education. Sorry, but poverty is the leading cause of criminality. If you want to reduce crime, you need to reduce poverty, not buy a bunch of guns and hide behind them.
@peterclarke7006 law abiding Canadians don't have a bunch of guns. Only the police and criminals have them. Poverty has nothing to do with it. Not taking care of the mentally ill causes everything. Crime, poverty, violence, addiction, all due to mental health. It's hilarious that you think poverty and buying guns is the boogeyman though.
@peterclarke7006 Canada keeps taking legal guns away and making more and more guns illegal. That doesn't reduce guns crimes, they go up yesr over year. A country not treating mental health, not fixing the broken minds causes crime and poverty.

For example the poor Cuban man that killed 26 people driving a truck for the first time without his instructor....and on that terrible day brakes weren't working. 26 "murders". All because of brakes.
They are treated well. Which means that they will feel like valued parts of society that can have a normal life later. If prisoners are treated bad they can easily view themselves as victims of the systems and not reflect about their own wrongdoings.

I got a 6 to 12 year sentence for burglary in NYS at the age of 23. It was tough to deal with at first. I was young and felt like my life was thrown away. Time was being lost that I'd never get back. But I quickly realized I still had freedom. And that my life didn't have to be wasted. I began going through a soft-cover dictionary while I read Steven King books to look up words I didn't know. Next, I started flipping through the dictionary randomly looking up words. Then, I scraped the Steven King book, and picked up Thoreau, ditched the soft-cover dictionary and got a 1,286-page hard-cover dictionary to start going through it word-by-word, page-by-page. I became a full-time GED tutor because it put me around computers and books. Started reading Psychology. Bought a type writer. If I was going to studying Psychology, might as well take a college course on it. Now I'm done with Thoreau, so I move to Emerson. Have a book on Computers, so I'm studying that and trying to hack into the prison server, which I actually succeeded at. Psychology brought me to Biology, which I took a CLEP examination on and scored in the 93rd percentile for college credit. Biology took me to Neural Science and my Cousin sent me Principles Of Neural Science, a textbook used at Brown University for the study of Neuropsychology. Read and composed reports on that book. Now I'm done with the dictionary and have a collection of hundreds of quotations from my studies all typed up. I integrate the words I've learned into my writing. I can touch-type now. I can fix computers. I place a password on the BIOS and lock myself out of the computer by accident. I convince my civilian boss to smuggle me in a screw driver so I can take it apart and fix it. I'm always "out of place", subject to getting in trouble by signing out to the school area early in the morning to study prior to starting tutoring, but no one ever complains. I function as a counselor as well for my students who want to learn but may be hanging out with bad elements. I teach them to lead themselves and not follow knuckleheads. I'm on to basic Physics now and reading books on finance, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, discovering a way to subtract in binary, and studying college algebra, even though I hate mathematics. Had I not went to prison, I probably would never have done all this. I remember reading "The Portable Freud" after my studies, and the author used 3 big words in one sentence, none of which I knew prior to my studies, but all that I now knew because of my studies. It was a great feeling. I've always remembered one of them. Inchoate, not yet formed, in the beginning stages of development. I love science. Later in life I discovered two IQ tests I took when I was 10. Turns out I have a verbal IQ of 123. That explains me going through the dictionary. I was a hyper-active nut as a child. I got expelled from elementary school and had to be sent to a private school. I built booby traps all day long instead of listening to the teacher. How in God's name did I have a verbal IQ that high when I mostly spoke gibberish, made-up funny sounding words as a class clown? I liked the sound of "vivid", and I made up "mavid". I'm glad I taught myself, because I sure didn't learn anything in school. As a teenager, I was in special ed because I'd smoke pot all day and just put my long-haired head on the desk to sleep. I'm an "autodidact". I had 2 PINS (Person In Need of Supervision) petitions filed on me for not going to school.
Sometimes I wish I had all the time in the world to do those things… instead I have to work an 8-5 and my job gets all of my brainpower. I guess there are pros and cons to everything.
Pasting this here for those who wonder about the sentence (from Redditor Doikor): ''One thing to understand here is that you don't start your sentence for a violent crime in a nice open prison. This guy has spent years in a closed one showing good conduct (no violence, no drugs, etc) to get to an open prison. The idea being that prisoners do the end part of their sentence in an open prison being taught how to live in the world (schooling, job skills, getting caught up on computers/internet, etc) Also another note is that as this guy said he was sentenced for murder. This means he is serving a life sentence (the only sentence for murder in Finland). In Finland that means the sentence has no end date but it can end if you are deemed to be rehabilitated with the average being around 14 years. Also after getting out of prison they will be on parole for the rest of their life with the smallest crimes sending them back into prison (only presidential pardon can get rid of that part)''

@@g.c.t.fbennyf1wheels645 why does the murderer need any further punishment? his sin was him taking someone's life, his punishment is his stripped access from the rest of the world, and his cure is the rehabilitation he receives. the lord is a forgiving entity. if he wasn't, heaven would be empty.
@@Termsofseve Another insufferable liberal. You think you're being virtuous but you lack empathy for the victims of crimes. It's sad that you probably won't alter your worldview until you're a victim of crime.
We had a Norwegian exchange student in my high school, she was and still is my friend. But I remember half way through her year in the U.S. she became super depressed. Not just because she was homesick, but she told me the American way of life was really sad and made her very sad too. 😭 I also live in the south so I think it was a very big culture shock (even moreso than if she had gone to NYC or something).
Man, I guess they're lucky to have figured it out. They don't have the roll over rate like other countries. Focus on reform rather than punishment. Actually help their people to achieve more. Man..... Seems horrible doesn't it.
It's pretty common for people to learn English and have better grammar than a lot of native English speaking people and it's due to them learning English with very strict literary rules that they're not accustomed to and engraining that into their brain, while native English speakers don't typically learn those rules, they just talk the way they were raised to.
What really baffles me is the fact that even though their prisons look like this but still there are so less crimes there😮. Meanwhile other countries have bad prison conditions still the crime rate is up
@The Underdog Seeking revenge makes you just as bad as the offender, seeking rehabilitation can make everyone's lives better. That is the philosophy here

@@theprofessional155 You're thinking in terms of "retribution" but the this system is designed on a principle of efficiency and rehabilitation. Majority of murders are personal one-offs, with actually not a high chance of repeating. Usually killings in Finland happen under influence and in some kind of personal altercation, meaning high levels of alcohol and fighting (usually between two-men) that escalated to violence where one party lost their life. The idea is that if the killer has been psychologically assessed as being low-risk for repetitive behavior, and they are a working-age person, they can actually contribute to the society a lot more if they are educated and paying taxes, than they would sitting behind bars the rest of their life (which costs money for the rest of the citizens). So the logic is, that it serves society more to rehabilitate and get them back to being a contributor, instead of a net-drain. The data shows that the vast majority of people will not repeat the crimes after being released, so it's calculated as being more profitable to rehabilitate prisoners that are assessed to be low-risk.

@shebaloso Not a couple of years. Probably 10 years in a normal prison and then a few years in a open one. If he killed for money then the victim was probably doing shady stuff too. Your own fault if you choose that life. Probably 60% of rappers talk about killing people and also many people lile rappers and listening to them. So have that.
@shebaloso And nobody knows what he actually killed for. There is 0 info on this guy on the internet. He's still happy and again, *contributing to society* He has been rehabilitated, as prisons should do.
One thing to remember here is that life for a Finnish prison inmate is comparatively much worse than for an average citizen in Finland. Everybody has universal health care and free school tuition through tax money so when you go to prison, you lose your reputation and have the crime in your record for good and it is much harder to gain employment after the sentence (even with a college degree).
Actaully to have a better life if he is a Finnish citizen they will get help. Emotional, money, any way.

If he didnt get help the medication wouldve costed him about 30 euros

@2:20 The US perspective on Europe is often to brush things aside by claiming that it's just too big of a country for the same system to work as does in European countries. In fact, absolute numbers are irrelevant. Comparing countries is best done with per capita rates. These methods work, because they give the individual a chance. Not because Finland is a small country.

Everything about Finland is genuinely admirable, from the capable politicians to the high-quality education system to the prison system, the lot. Finland's approach is very productive not to mention it can have crucial results that can change many lives for the better. It's no wonder Finland is the happiest country in the world and such title is more than well-earned.

I would state with a very high level of confidence, looking at all the comments, that 90%+ of the people viewing the video would be surprised at the 2nd sentence of the original commenter's comment. In fact, the reason I wrote this was because I did a little research after looking at this comment and found out it was mostly true(the comment, that is). I was highly doubtful after watching, however, that Finland could afford to do this for even 1/10 of the prisoners they contain, which is why after scrolling in the comments and reading this, it made me more confident in that train of thought, and like I mentioned before, I did just a little bit of research and found out it was true.

@@derekzhang4364 Revenge is not how government should work.
But murder is sth that shld not go unpunished. You have taken the ability to experience life, with all its pain and joy, from someone and in the process have also hurt their family as they now grieve while also dimishing the safety the ppl in that nation once felt. So it is only right to either lock u up for life ( which would drain the nation's resources at the expense of a murderer ) or treat u the same way u hv treated ur victim. So when u look it this way, is it not better to give such ppl a death sentence. U must understand that this is not a matter of revenge but rather a means of way to bring justice for the victim, the family and the nation.
@Grant You might have some problems.
A Finn here. To clear up any confusion: this is NOT how all our prisons work. We still have ”normal” prisons for dangerous criminals. This is an ”open” variant, that usually houses criminals with less severe convictions, and those that are finishing their sentences. Matti here has served many years in a normal prison, before being transferred to his current prison. Before that professionals have studied him completely to decide if he’s ready to rehabilitate into the society. I’d guess most murderers don’t pass that test.
I’ve personally met Matti many times, you’d never know he’s a murderer. I thought he was a regular student, before one of my friends told me what he did. It’s weird to concider someone a nice guy, that I’ve always been happy to work with, and then find out they killed someone in the past. Well, better that he rehabilitates and hopefully makes something of himself, than have him spend the rest of his life in prison.
Edit on 08/2022: Read the whole explanation before commenting. Matti’s prison time is coming to and end. That’s why he’s in the prison he is in: to rehabilitate to society, to make himself useful. I’ve gotten so many comments and messages about ”how is murder not a serious crime?” It is. And that’s why he has spent 10 years in a max security prison. Reading is really not that hard.
Why did he commit it though?
He seems normal because he may be a sociopath. Most Mentally disturbed humans that do sick crimes fit into everyday society like regular people but are capable of doing heinous things

@@KirkHermary yes.

@peterclarke7006 law abiding Canadians don't have a bunch of guns. Only the police and criminals have them.

I got a 6 to 12 year sentence for burglary in NYS at the age of 23. It was tough to deal with at first. I was young and felt like my life was thrown away. Time was being lost that I'd never get back. But I quickly realized I still had freedom. And that my life didn't have to be wasted. I began going through a soft-cover dictionary while I read Steven King books to look up words I didn't know. Next, I started flipping through the dictionary randomly looking up words. Then, I scraped the Steven King book, and picked up Thoreau, ditched the soft-cover dictionary and got a 1,286-page hard-cover dictionary to start going through it word-by-word, page-by-page. I became a full-time GED tutor because it put me around computers and books. Started reading Psychology. Bought a type writer. If I was going to studying Psychology, might as well take a college course on it. Now I'm done with Thoreau, so I move to Emerson. Have a book on Computers, so I'm studying that and trying to hack into the prison server, which I actually succeeded at. Psychology brought me to Biology, which I took a CLEP examination on and scored in the 93rd percentile for college credit. Biology took me to Neural Science and my Cousin sent me Principles Of Neural Science, a textbook used at Brown University for the study of Neuropsychology. Read and composed reports on that book. Now I'm done with the dictionary and have a collection of hundreds of quotations from my studies all typed up. I integrate the words I've learned into my writing. I can touch-type now. I can fix computers. I place a password on the BIOS and lock myself out of the computer by accident. I convince my civilian boss to smuggle me in a screw driver so I can take it apart and fix it. I'm always "out of place", subject to getting in trouble by signing out to the school area early in the morning to study prior to starting tutoring, but no one ever complains. I function as a counselor as well for my students who want to learn but may be hanging out with bad elements. I teach them to lead themselves and not follow knuckleheads. I'm on to basic Physics now and reading books on finance, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, discovering a way to subtract in binary, and studying college algebra, even though I hate mathematics. Had I not went to prison, I probably would never have done all this. I remember reading "The Portable Freud" after my studies, and the author used 3 big words in one sentence, none of which I knew prior to my studies, but all that I now knew because of my studies. It was a great feeling. I've always remembered one of them. Inchoate, not yet formed, in the beginning stages of development. I love science. Later in life I discovered two IQ tests I took when I was 10. Turns out I have a verbal IQ of 123. That explains me going through the dictionary. I was a hyper-active nut as a child. I got expelled from elementary school and had to be sent to a private school. I built booby traps all day long instead of listening to the teacher. How in God's name did I have a verbal IQ that high when I mostly spoke gibberish, made-up funny sounding words as a class clown? I liked the sound of "vivid", and I made up "mavid". I'm glad I taught myself, because I sure didn't learn anything in school. As a teenager, I was in special ed because I'd smoke pot all day and just put my long-haired head on the desk to sleep. I'm an "autodidact". I had 2 PINS (Person In Need of Supervision) petitions filed on me for not going to school.
Sometimes I wish I had all the time in the world to do those things… instead I have to work an 8-5 and my job gets all of my brainpower. I guess there are pros and cons to everything.
Happy to read how you have improved yourself, now you need to care for your soul and read the Bible and if possible go to a Bible study.
Pasting this here for those who wonder about the sentence (from Redditor Doikor):
''One thing to understand here is that you don't start your sentence for a violent crime in a nice open prison. This guy has spent years in a closed one showing good conduct (no violence, no drugs, etc) to get to an open prison. The idea being that prisoners do the end part of their sentence in an open prison being taught how to live in the world (schooling, job skills, getting caught up on computers/internet, etc)
Also another note is that as this guy said he was sentenced for murder. This means he is serving a life sentence (the only sentence for murder in Finland). In Finland that means the sentence has no end date but it can end if you are deemed to be rehabilitated with the average being around 14 years. Also after getting out of prison they will be on parole for the rest of their life with the smallest crimes sending them back into prison (only presidential pardon can get rid of that part)''

@@adammasterx5854 served his time ? Hes still young and killed someone. What about the person who died? No one who kills should ever be let out into society
So it sounds like you're not all in for rehabilitation @@theprofessional155
@@theprofessional155 You're thinking in terms of "retribution" but the this system is designed on a principle of efficiency and rehabilitation. Majority of murders are personal one-offs, with actually not a high chance of repeating. Usually killings in Finland happen under influence and in some kind of personal altercation, meaning high levels of alcohol and fighting (usually between two-men) that escalated to violence where one party lost their life. The idea is that if the killer has been psychologically assessed as being low-risk for repetitive behavior, and they are a working-age person, they can actually contribute to the society a lot more if they are educated and paying taxes, than they would sitting behind bars the rest of their life (which costs money for the rest of the citizens). So the logic is, that it serves society more to rehabilitate and get them back to being a contributor, instead of a net-drain. The data shows that the vast majority of people will not repeat the crimes after being released, so it's calculated as being more profitable to rehabilitate prisoners that are assessed to be low-risk.

@@kohjiandriani3607 It still works. No point to take another life when they can still contribute to society.
@shebaloso Not a couple of years. Probably 10 years in a normal prison and then a few years in a open one. If he killed for money then the victim was probably doing shady stuff too. Your own fault if you choose that life. Probably 60% of rappers talk about killing people and also many people lile rappers and listening to them. So have that.
@shebaloso And nobody knows what he actually killed for. There is 0 info on this guy on the internet. He's still happy and again, *contributing to society* He has been rehabilitated, as prisons should do.
Plot twist: he didn't actually kill someone but faked to do so to go to prison and have a better life
One thing to remember here is that life for a Finnish prison inmate is comparatively much worse than for an average citizen in Finland. Everybody has universal health care and free school tuition through tax money so when you go to prison, you lose your reputation and have the crime in your record for good and it is much harder to gain employment after the sentence (even with a college degree).
Actaully to have a better life if he is a Finnish citizen they will get help. Emotional, money, any way. Example my brother lost hes home and hes job and he is depressed and they give him free medication, monthly money and last time my brother had to pay for hes monthly medication 0.25 cents. If he didnt get help the medication wouldve costed him about 30 euros

@@cafi333 After I made my comment I was thinking you would inform me of that and I'm not surprised. Some weird ass way of thinking. How the hell do they perceive 12 to 15 a "life sentence"? It's mind boggling. So basically the only person who got an actual life sentence was the murder victim.

Absolutely amazing! We are all humans.
