Prisons Around the World
At the beginning of the module, we saw that justice is a social construction. Each
society is different from the others. Prisons are the result of how each society chooses
to punish people who do not comply with the established social contract. For this
reason, prisons around the world are so different.
In some countries, prisons are horrible places. Inmates live in overcrowded cells like in
Haiti’s Civil Prison, El Buen Pastor Women’s prison in Bogota, where each cell is filled
up with 20 inmates, or The Maula prison in Lilongwe, Malawi, in Africa where almost
200 prisoners can be crammed into a cell suitable for 60 people. In other countries,
especially in northern Europe, prisons seek that the inmates can rejoin society when
they finish their sentence.
For this reason, prisons are places where criminals rehabilitate. The cells in prisons of
countries like Norway, Germany, Denmark, or Sweden, are comfortable single or
double bedrooms with TV, private toilet, musical instruments, some even have video
games.
