Imho, inmates when they get out are usually angrier than when they got in and it is because there is no “reformation/re-education programs”, so inmates when they get out are totally lost, no confidence and no money (let’s admit that for an ex-convict is hard to find a decent job!!!)
Additionally, most of the prisons are sh*t and inmates are treated badly, there are no programs and criminal organisations have power inside the prisons.
I believe a government that spends a lot of money on inmates is a good one, we are all humans and we can make mistakes, if you’re arrested and imprisoned you should reflect while you’re at it, and once you’re out to still have chances/opportunities to work and be a respectable human being, to work and to have a family.
In my opinion this is what prisons are for: reeducation and reintegration to the society for inmates, not a “school for criminals”

Underfund prisons. Make conditions hell inside. It should feel like a punishment(it is supposed to be a punishment). Will also save taxpayer euros

It‘s as always, wages here are a lot higher so it costs more to run a prison

When I see that my friend that works as a prison guard earns twice my wage in Software development, I understand why 😅

It probably costs the same to staff a prison whether you have 1 prisoner or 100.

Wages are one aspect but people never seem to think about the economy of scale when expanses in a Luxembourg are compared to other countries. I wonder how prison work impacts the statistic but that’s a profitable industry in other countries or at least offsets costs. all the things prisons regularly need to supply or fix are also much cheaper if you order 1000s at a time. The statistic also does not reflect any educative or rehabilitive measures taken. If a system can turn criminals into productive members of society than it should benefit society even financially in the long term.
