Seems like adding numerous expensive and time-consuming security layers isn’t the most efficient way to prevent them escaping. Maybe the prisons should try giving them better living conditions and then they won’t try so hard to escape? Could be cheaper, and more humane, and might even lead to a lower recidivism rate if other countries attempts are anything to go by.
While I am all for prison reform, that is not the issue here. Even countries with prison systems that aren’t some of the most horrifying places on earth have to deal with escape attempts. It is human nature to not want to be caged.
Also: Even if we actually cared at all about rehabilitation, this was a violent killer who stabbed a woman to death in front of her children. He is not rehabilitated right now and would still be a threat to society whether he was receiving help or not.

Is there a living condition you can be forcibly held in that would not make you want to leave?
I am all for prison reform (I’m largely a prison abolitionist but I’ll take what wins I can get), but if you’re going to have prisons you’re going to need layered security.

Norway prisons seem pretty chill.
Theyre certainly a big-ass step in the right direction.
