The American Prison System

Today we will discuss the American prison, what the goals of the prison system are, and how well those goals are met. We will compare our prison system to Norwegian prison system by looking at the Balstoy Prison.

We will also look at the Trump Administration's approach to prisons by watching  "What in the World: Dutch lesson on prison reform - CNN Video from Fareed Zakaria"
