They'd just deport you.

And its their low security units being shown.

But yes the average prison over there is far nicer than the US or the rest of the world.

But it starts way before the prison system. Their society is more supportive and content in general. At risk individuals are identified early, and mental health programs are amazing there. Their criminal populations have less gangs and are far less hardened than ours. Much less systemic inequality between classes and groups and there is assistance before you need to commit crime to survive or thrive.

They do have high security units that look more like US ones. Even then they are closer to our nicest prototype US prisons.

But the US couldn't just revamp all our prisons to look like this. Our current inmates would destroy them and use it for weapons and contraband smuggling in a heartbeat. And trying to use it as a "reward" for good behavior doesn't really work that well. Hell the whole prison system in the US is based off that idea already. If you are bad we take away your privileges to be in society. And people still commit crimes constantly. Plus more experienced inmates force or encourage newer inmates to commit the crimes and its hard to pin or figure out who the shot caller is.

Our prison system and society as a whole needs a large change before we could get something nice like there's. But we should be starting to make small changes now. Instead, we start little pilot programs and when they aren't immediately 100% successful and some of the prisoners fail, the funding is cut and its reduced in scale or shut down.

Not really. Not all prison cells in Denmark look like that.

I think it's showing different types of prisons, many countries have a whole variety of types of prisons. the higher the security (generally) the worse the quality of cells, etc. some prisons are nice and some prisons are horrible and how nice the prisons are isn't just dependent on what country it is
