CRIME AND PUNISHMENT?直擊全球最豪華監獄!


【摘要2020.3.19.蘋果】

The system works. Data shows that two years after release from Halden Fengsel, only 20% of inmates return to prison. Compared to Taiwan’s 2017 rate of 83.9%, it seems to be a miracle. But running such a prison is extremely expensive—around NT$2.8 million per prisoner per year. Some critics say that the prison is spending too much money on criminals. What do you think? Is it worth it?
這套方法奏效了。數據顯示自哈登監獄獲釋出獄兩年後,只有兩成的囚犯再度入獄。和臺灣 2017 年高達 83.9% 的再犯率相比,這簡直就是奇蹟。但營運這樣的監獄價格不菲 —— 囚犯每人每年的花費約為新臺幣兩百八十萬元。有些人批評說這所監獄花太多錢在罪犯身上了。你認為呢?這值得嗎?
