“THey serve the same food in Swede jails - he ain’t done.”
- I’ve never heard any Swedish inmate complain about the food they are served.
A former workmate of mine who had been in jail due to tax evasion (sounds very Swedish doesn’t it), suggested that the authorities are aware that people who get to eat, drink and live well while in jail don’t start riots etc.
Sounds plausible to me..
THey also don’t provide disincentive for going straight. After all, bad behavior isn’t really punished. you get to live it up. What’s to be afraid of?

Joe Arpaio looks at it in the opposite. Green balogny sandwiches and pink underwear. No smoking - no tv (except the history channel and religion channel-I think), and they have to sing the Star Spangled Banner three times a day in English. Some are on chain gangs and some sleep in tents.
And none ever want to go back.
