Excuse me. We didn't get the post on the On the main channel or the second channel to be on this channel. That's behind me Yeah Link to this is down in the description. Don't forget. We also got the discord Any of your requests they go down they go in here and you know get to them I'm probably gonna do a lot of requests as long as they're not super long man this week so After after tomorrow, so Thursday and Friday, I'm probably doing a lot of requests And Don't forget. We got the patreon. This is a list of everything that's on the patreon link down in the description Let's get to this because this is interesting to me honestly Prisoners in Finland live in open prisons where they learn tech skills on the ground So in Finland basically they go into jail Just to get an education. Okay, let me just came out two years ago. This is some insider news Look at this beautiful scenery, honestly, I could use a cold bath right now Helps relieve stress. You know the cold baths do a lot for you. Anyway This man is serving a life sentence for murder I'm sorry. I'm little buddy conscious as you can see I've gained a few pounds a Dip in the frozen lake behind the prison is part of his regular workout routine Okay Welcome to life in one of Finland's open prisons There are no cell blocks here. Just dormitories inmates come and go in their own cars When Mattie isn't at the nearby Come and go come and go to where Where is he coming from? It worked. Okay, University campus. He's in his dorm room studying for a career in tech Some under a career in tech. How you serve a life sentence some entrepreneurship books marketing books ownership books marketing books user experience all kinds of Digital and IT studies and we have this kind of normality principle that prisoners should be treated equally Even though they are prisoners, but they should have access to same services and rights as other citizens Bro looks like my Dean from high school like he got on a whole pico three-piece suit. You know, I'm saying In recent years Finland has been named the happiest and safest country in the world Citizens here enjoy generous public benefits Universal health care subsidized daycare for children and free college tuition. I'm moving to Finland See you Promotional films like this produced by Finland's criminal sanctions agency Document how prisoners are eased back into society with work opportunities and help from counsellors and The incarceration rate here is one of the lowest in Europe a quarter of what it was in 1950 in Finland only one in three former convicts ends up back in prison Compare that to the United States where to chill chill chill You out of three get locked up again within two years of release. What about UK? What about Britain? A 2018 bill included sentencing reforms meant to reduce what is referred to as recidivism But they only apply to inmates in federal custody Just 10% of the 2.3 million people incarcerated in the US Critics say the 2018 reforms are only a small first step and fall far short of the kind of meaningful change Finland is so proud of The scale of course is different today. There are fewer than 3,000 in the Finnish prison system The number of people behind bars in the US is equal to half of Finland's total population a Reimagining of what prison looks like here started nearly 70 years ago when this Scandinavian nation began building one of the most humane systems in the world in some of the latest steps Finland's criminal sanctions agency is Investing heavily in technology training And building a state of the art smart prison for women And even testing state of the art smart prison for women with a hundred inmates It's gonna only be a hundred women in there. I don't get in trouble out there We are to provide an escape from the drab walls and fluorescent lighting of Turku Finland's highest security closed prison Mika who is 10 years into a 15-year sentence Yeah Is walking through a 3d forest He appreciates the chance to interact with VR technology and learn the basics of working with computers Or if you guys are sit up here Okay, so it makes sense that they teaching them this stuff we try to get now That's true. I didn't got some other had some homies that got out of jail and didn't even know how to use an iPhone So that makes sense Didn't know how to do a computer didn't know nothing Educate the prisoners to use digital services in a meaningful way so that it would really help them to Rehabilitate that help them to take care of themselves and take care of their daily affairs And the kind of things the kind of skills that you need when you reintegrate back to society Now Finland is investing in the infrastructure to support that readjustment a 34 million euro prison That many hope will set the standard for the future Where no bars glass windows an internet connection in every room and small touches meant for comfort This is the our specialty is divan Yes, I Got an air mattress in my living room and a TV on top of a on top of a Table like a table that go in the living room Like a little when it opens in this fall the brand-new facility in Hamelnina is expected to be Europe's most high-tech women's prison But just across the road a reminder of the past the old facility built in 1972 once housed both men and women It shut down in 2019 after years of disrepair mold and other reasons This was before toilet and where did they empty it? I take these This male was terrible And just a few minutes drive away a relic built in the 19th century and modeled on the American style of prison That is still widely in use today Oh, yeah cell blocks arranged in a radial floor plan prisoners living in solitary confinement This one is a muse real prison types World wing Diom now preserved to show just how hard prison life here used to be For Matty the road to reform has led him to a career that he would never have dreamed of before He connected with react a minute He connected with react or a digital agency that designs online Education courses when they heard he was participating in this story. They invited him to give some feedback on the program I'm eager to hear like what did you think about the first course? What do you see what it was your general impression about it? It was shown quite simply what is AI one isn't AI So that was that was really good and kind of like show that it's not about magic Seeing him in this meeting. It's easy to forget that Matty is still serving out his now. This is wild Bro look like he could be the CEO up in here. He is a prisoner on life Sentence for murder in that time. He hopes to complete a university degree and start a business one way to get kind of like Employees of course self-employment. So and a lot of prisoners have already the entrepreneurial mindset Based on Matty's recommendations react or is planning to add an entrepreneurship course to the prison curriculum It has like enforced my trust. They also like this first prison system where we're like giving chances to put people like you After the meeting I didn't go hold it. I like it Matty heads back to loka prison But he they would never put that type of money into the US prison is excited for the future It would never put that much hope in the prisoner beginning of my sentence I thought that this is there there can only be negative things In being in prison that basically life is over But I think you should give people a chance That's the most important thing Okay ice bath guy tell a little like and subscribe. I'm interested to know what you're thinking about this. I'm gone
