What are Norwegian prisons like?
Rumor has it that Michael Moore cut this segment out of his movie Sicko because he didn't think an American audience would believe this is real.

I have to agree with Mr. Moore on his decision to cut this out. I think prison reform falls somewhere between this and the US prison complex. I remember seeing a documentary on the Canadian system where they essentially place several prisoners are asigned to a separate dorm. They are responsible for their own cooking, cleaning , work chores and they do not intermingle with other inmates. The grouping is diverse (so for example: there would be one gang banger, a white supremacist and so forth) so there are no discernable gangs mentality and all prisoners need to work together as a cohesive unit.
