For this blog post I am going to use information that I heard and wrote down from the film “Where to Invade Next” in order to obtain my research question for my research paper.
Three topics from the film that intrigued me were U.S. prisoners being used to make products, Norway’s ability to rehabilitate inmates, and Portugal’s method of not arrest people for drug possession. Topic: U.S. prisoners Research question: Is America using prisoners as modern day slaves? Argument: Prisoners are being used by prisons all across the United States to make products for companies such as Jansport and given little to no compensation. They aren’t allowed to leave the place they work either. They are forced out of their homes and placed in a horrible living environment. Topic: Norway’s prison structure Research question: Should America structure prisons like that of Norway’s? Argument: America should take some ideas for their prison system such as a more clean, nicer environment. The fact that prisons are lifeless and dull makes it hard for inmates to remain sane and thus causes depression or even violence. Topic: Portugal and the drug policy Research question: Should America stop arresting individuals for drug possession/usage? Argument: America should stop arresting individuals for nonviolent crimes like drug possession as it only over crowds prisons. In addition, those individuals are getting the help they need in prison. It seems more like a time out instead.
