Sweden Is Closing Many Prisons Due to Lack of Prisoners
rtoz writes "Sweden is taking steps to close many prisons due to lack of prisoners. This year alone, four prisons and a detention center got closed in Sweden. The percentage of the population in Sweden prison is significantly lower than in most other countries. ... Though the Swedish Government is taking steps to close the prisons, the crime rate in Sweden has increased slightly. It seems they are planning to take steps for preventing crime rather than focusing on jailing people involved in criminal activities."
Maybe they should start prosecuting all of the immigrant child rapists instead of letting them get away with it. Oh no, can't do that because it would be deemed "racist."

85% of reported rapes in Sweden are perpetrated by Muslim immigrants.

Sweden != Norway
Sweden is also, compared to the US, VERY socialist
Sweden also has the highest suicide rates
Strange thing you left out those facts, guess they did not fit your case.
It made some sense to compare civilian to government guns until like 1930. Governments have all those airplanes, hellicopters, NSAs, prisons, so best thing you can do with bare gun against government is to shoot yourself in the head.

Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions about lowered incarceration rates. Violent crime in Europe is a much bigger problem than what most would ever care to admit. From what I have seen the decreased incarceration rates in Europe are indicative of a failing criminal justice system, not a crime-free society. Let's not kid ourselves - Muslims/Arabs are the #1 perpetrators of violent crime in Western Europe.
