This podcast is a continuation to the discussion in episode 6. Previously, Jacob Stanley Butler, Emily Callahan, Chloe Griffin, Gyanna Russell, and Greta Salvador, discussed the standards of living between the United States and Norway, and how the two differ. This presented the opportunity to question if the United States should be doing anything differently. The topic of Norway imprisonment, brought up one of the worst acts of genocide in the history of Norway. In 2011, in Oslo, Norway, right-wing extremist and Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, attacked the Prime Minister’s building and a political growth camp, killing 77 people. He received the maximum sentence in the country, 21 years of confinement. This is drastically different from how the United States would have handled a genocide, which led us to explore how these two prison systems differ.
