"Nick Pearce from the Institute for Public Policy Research, visited a prison in Denmark with a very different approach to punishment. In Denmark, while they're tough on crime, the guiding principle is that life in prison should be as close as possible to normal life, so prisoners have a daily routine of work and education. And, as Nick found, it works. Denmark imprisons 77 people out of every hundred thousand - in Britain, it's double that rate. Re-offending rates are impressive - in Denmark a third of prisoners re-offend within two years, while in Britain it's two thirds." [Brief]
