Germany has a much lower crime rate and fewer people in prison than the United States. How does Germany do that? Is it because their prisons are different than ours? Is there anything we could learn from them? Find out.

  • I live in the Netherlands, close to German border as an Asian woman. The Dutch travel to German to buy gasoline, groceries or even to medical specialists as the waiting list in the Netherlands is too long. I was afraid when I visited Germany for the first time, merely because of the history I’ve heard. I can now tell you, I’ve been treated better in Germany than in Netherlands. No judgement look or rude behaviour. I feel safe to visit the country without my Dutch husband to see my doctor or even just to buy Christmas presents.

  • There is one aspect I was missing here - and that's the economics of prisons. My understanding is that prisions on the US are privately operated, at least in parts, so there is a bit of a perverse incentive to put and keep people in prision. In Germany, prisions are state-owned and are not meant to generate revenue...

    • That's the main difference between USA and Germany. Cops in the States want to be authoritarian and be treated respectfully in kind of “Yeah, I am the law“, most of german Cops just do their jobs und help other people and that doesn't mean they do not pay attention to potentially crimes. Therefore, it's sad to see, many US Cops are corrupt, as well as some parts of justice...such a shame.

I would even dare say that the USA is the youngest country in the world or at least i have not heard the founding of a new country. You have to google yourself if you want to know it exactly tho.

    • @@flupser6691 Germany became a country in 1871. It was just a part of the Holy Roman Empire before that. "70 years or so". 1949 is when the government began and even then Germany was only half a country until the Berlin wall fell. It wasn't it's own country any more any conquered nation was. Germany, as you know it today, is only 33 years old. America is the oldest Democracy in the world at 240 years old. None of the major European powers have had a continuous existence. Note that you said America is only that old. Yet, the country was here and populated by the same people previous to that time. You can't go by how long the land has been there otherwise all lands are the same age more or less. Why not say America is 600, 1000, 50,000, or however many years old? America, as we know it, has been around since the 1780s more or less. The German empire ended in 1918. Germany became a different country and that in turn failed after it lost WW2 and the country was dissolved and split up. If you look at a map of 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, and 1800 AD then you will see Germany never existed until the last 1800s. Once again, not only is America not even remotely the newest country, it is one of the oldest continuous western ones.

    • @@davidroberson1962 The concept of nation in the Middle Ages is different from that of today. "It was just a part of the Holy Roman Empire" is not "true" and expresses a lot of "not-knowing". Your called "Holy Roman Empire" is correctly the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" (962-1806). In the Middle Ages, the concept of nation was defined by religion, at that time the Catholic and therefore the reference to Rome. A country is defined by language and culture. The founding of the Reich in 1871 was a "formal" fulfillment of the new concept of nation (, imitating the nonsense of all other nations.) Nota Bene: Incidentally, I also think it is too clumsy to see the USA as the oldest democracy.

Offenders are not treated like monsters when they get incarcerated or back out, to prevent them falling back into old schemata that got them into prison in the first place. That's why the US has a 50% higher relapse quotia then Germany. And boy, those 50% would mean you'd have only ~470/100.000 in prison and save 1/3 of the money you spend on that rotten draconian system.

    • I am norwegian born in 1966, as far as the events before and under ww2 most people simplify the complex situation Europe had to deal with. It was Goering that when asked how the nazis got Germans to “obey orders” he answered it was simple, just put enough fear into people and the would do anything you ask. And the fear was from the east, the Soviet communists were planning to invade the rest of Europe spreading the communist ideology to the rest of the world starting with Poland/Germany and then just continue. Anyway it was the fear of communists that was the number one reason for so called right wing movements not only in Germany but the rest of European countries too, I feel that this angle to explain what happened for some reason was suppressed not only after the war but still is.

When you compare comparable Universities around the world, you find out that they cost more or less about the same. The difference is that in Europe, everyone pays for college via taxation for their entire lives even if they don't ever go. In the USA, you pay for the college you go to.

Second: In germany it is NOT a princible, like you shall not kill. . or you shall honor mother and father. It is not understood a . princible. It is understood as a concept. Third: It is an unmovable concept,wich is an important tool for germans to come to terms with their past history. That is the reason why the only translation can be :"Human Dignity is iviolable". From the german point of view of course.

  • I don't want to be a buzzkill or anything, I am agreeing with Jeff Rosen, generally. But as a german professional working in the german correction system, I'd like to correct a few misunderstandings, mostly stemming from the type of prison Mr. Rosen apparently visited. Heidering prison is a very new, state-of-the-art prison. There are other prisons in Germany, which are much more bleak then Heidering: Old prison buildings with few windows high up in the walls, much less natural light, without cafeterias in the style you just saw in the video. In some german prisons, many inmates still spend a lot of hours (up to 23) in their cells, and not everyone has a cell of his (or her) own. Also, in many prisons everyone gets the same food, the inmates don't cook for themselves on a daily basis- cooking is more of recreational thing happening a few times a week (or less). How much sports, recreation, or possibilities to leave the prison for activities outside of it (visiting of doctors, therapists, loved ones etc.) varies to a high degree (from quiete a lot, Heidering style, to almost never (except medical emergencys, and guarded by armed wardens) in old school prisons). Its very much dependend on the directorate of the prison, if they are kind of modern, opend minded people working heavily towards rehabilitation, or more old school, working with a heavy punishment-and-correction mindset. So, what Mr. Rosen showed in this piece is the best, most modern and rehabilitation-oriented standard the german system has to offer. Heidering is not a typical german prison. Having said that- his points are still totally valid. Even the most backwards, punishment-oriented prisons in Germany (which are getting fewer and fewer, as members of old school directorates retiere and are replaced by new people with a different, often more open minded background) will still be much more pleasent places than typical US-places, as even the minimum standard of german prisons required by law gives inmates certain rights probably uncommen in the US correction facilities. Sorry for any grammatical or spelling mistakes. Not my first language, yadda yadda.

This option does not work for all prisoners. Some should never be out among good people again. That group cannot be rehabilitated. 3. There is a group that can be educated, rehabilitated and eventually go out to mix with others without problems but that is never everyone. We need to stop thinking that everyone can be saved.

On the other hand when you think about Germany it's one of the first things that comes to your mind. Sooo many countries including the US have done terrible things.

I wandered around resting in doorways ( it was snowing) when I came upon a police station. I went in to ask them where I could go to stay warm overnight. They said everything was closed up so they let me stay for a few hours to warm up. Then, they made me leave, in the middle of the snowing night! No directions even to get back to the train station! And I was a young woman alone. I have always trusted police officers so was surprised that they weren’t more helpful.

  • Yes, our prison system is different because it's almost 100 percent state-financed, we don't operate private prisons. Meaning they are not for profit, the US prison system is first and foremost a money machine. Keeping people in the system, makes these companies money, so they are not necessarily interested in letting them go. Another one is the lowest murder rate in Europe which probably has to do with a) very limited access to guns and b) a very stable social system. If you loose your job, the government takes care of you, gives you a home if necessary, tries to find you a new job. It's not perfect, but much, much better than the homelessness crisis in the US due to failed social security.

    • Nope. That's parroting finger pointing. There are private prisons around the developed world, not just the US. Less than 10% of American prisoners are in private prisons, and almost none were 25 yrs ago when the US had its highest murder and violent crime rates in modern history. Private prisons should probably be done away with, but you're way overstating their impact. The low murder rate in Germany is cultural. There's no more than wishful thinking correlation that the lower murder rate is because of larger welfare programs. Though more guns in the US, including many illegally obtained guns do play a role. The recidivism rate in the US is also higher because our prisons are almost entirely focused on punishment. Rehabilitation is waaaay down on the list of priorities. Being the world's "melting pot" is a blessing and a curse for the US. Germany is rather homogenous in its population compared to the US, Mexico, or Brazil. It doesn't take a genius to see how that affects crime, but that's a long book unto itself.

    • "very stable social system" "the government takes care of you" are you completely blind/uneducated or is that just hear-say? we have the biggest low-income sector in europe and at the same time we are the most wealthy country here. how exactly does this display a "stable" social system? "the government takes care of you" are you joking? the salaries are at 1997 levels today, no increases worth mentioning in the last 20 years, REAL inflation of 80-100% since 2000, none of the big players in the industry pay real taxes, oh and our prison/law system isn't exactly worth showing off either because 1) it often takes years to convict someone for a crime, the law/education system in germany is plenty decades old 2) there are a lot better prison systems in the world f.e. in norway, it's like you're saying "my 1980 honda is a great and modern car" but that's only true if you compare it to a 1950 VW beetle, if you open your eyes for the real world then there's nothing great about any of our institutions. at least I can't think about a single government institution in our country which is modern and does a good job. you live in a society where the poor constantly finance the luxuries of the rich and go out and say we have a stable social system? which part of it is stable? the part where 6 million people who have jobs live in or next to poverty (and that's an official number, reality is always a lot worse than the numbers no matter if you're talking unemployment, inflation, etc.) or the part where 12,5 million people are already struck by poverty? you can close your eyes but in the UK elderly people are freezing to death because they can't afford to heat up their homes, and 12,5 million people are already close to facing the same problems aswell as another 6 million just one step away from the same poverty. the same thing is going to happen to us because people like you close their eyes while our money loses value each day and our salaries never increase. you think it's a sign of a "stable social system" that unemployed people get small little handouts? I'll tell you what it is, it is a sign that not everyone in our society is as blind as you. as long as there are enough awake and/or educated people amongst us the politicians will never be able to give people in one of the wealthiest countries in the world less than they need to afford a home and food, that's exactly why the system hasn't changed in a decade, because they can't take more from us and they have no intentions to give us more, so they entertain/distract us while opening doors for big time tax-evasion, military exports and the resulting refugees and thanks to inflation we still get ~4%+ less money every year while salaries (if at all) may only increase by max 2%.

    • @@herberthans7015 If you talk about official numbers, take all official numbers and not only the ones, you like. Inflation was between 0,3% and 2,1% per year since 2010 (compared to 5%+ in the 90s). The "Reallohn" (salary adjusted by inflation) raised always(!) in the last years (between 0,5% and 2,7% per 3 month). This are the official numbers. The problem with low-income and poverty is a mathematical: If the mean salary is high, the limit of "low-income" and "poverty" is also higher compared to a country with lower mean salary. Thats because it is a percentage limit! I dont say, everything is perfect and The Dudelino neither. Yes, there are companies, especially some US-Tech companies, which pay close to no taxes due to some flaws in EU law. That sould be changed. But overall we are on a very good level and, yes, have a stable system. Unemployed people actually get very much money - compared to other countries. And there is no time limit on it. It is enough to buy food. The home is paid completly. That should be enough. If you want more, you should do something for it. Nobody should expect, that the working people pay unemployed people for more then some basic stuff like food and home. Do something for it, education is free in germany (even university is free, thats not normal in other countries), so use it, there are enough open jobs. And no, education system is not as bad as PISA says, german education system aims at skills, which are actually needed in the companies (dual system - Ausbildungen/Berufsschule - as well as dual university and also in primary and secondary school), but this skills are not relevant in PISA. Improving everything even if its already on a high level is on the one side good for being an inovation leader and economically successful, but on the other side it leads to many complains about thing, which are actually quite good (but of course could be even better). Thats the pro and con of never being satisfied with the current situation - and thats a very german thing.

I Europe prisoners are seen as victims, just like your average bad guy in a Child story or animated movies, who actually just had a harsh youth, and was treated unfair, but if you give him a chance and a working environment, he will be a good guy, whereas America sees a prisoner as human scum, who is maybe genetically bad and can't ever be integrated into society again.

You won't get additional prison time for trying to escape from prison alone, provided you do so without hurting anyone or damaging anything. There won't be another trial, but you will still serve your sentence as is. Without parole in that case. Priviliges will also be revoked.

  • I, too, think your talk has been very informative, even for me as a german. But I want to point out, that not all prisons in Germany look like the one you visited - especially the older ones! As I went to school, we visited the prison in Landsberg am Lech in Bavaria. This prison was of course clean and with a sterile atmosphere, but they don't have things like balconies and kitchens on every floor and it was much less daylight in there. I think this counts for most german prisons, that have not been built in the las few years. Just wanted to tell this everyone who watches this video - living in prison in Germany is not like living in a hotel or something. They have "closing times" when they have to be in there cells, their day starts early, they have to work. P.S. What I feel positive about german prisons are the efforts to reintegrate the criminals into society, for example can inmates get school-leaving qualifications or do jobtrainings, so that they have a perspective after leaving the prison. And if they have problems with socialisation they can get a therapy etc.

    • @@SusanBassi well, I kinda see your point (better no Information than from an unreliable source) but I disagree. Even a blind chicken finds a corn once in a while. While of course you shouldn't rely on one source, and always confirm your Information with at least a second source, one shouldn't need to discredit a less reliable news source.

    • Canadians are not like Americans . We don't lock up as many people as them . I am from Canada and don't know anyone who has ever been in jail at the moment except for a night in the drunk tank . I knew two people who spent three or four months in jail for breaking into a safe with a curling rock . We also have nationwide legal pot and free medical coverage , less covid and more taxes . So it all balances out and I prefer Canada because it leans more toward socialism and not communism.

  • When you started your speech and spoke of visiting the German prison, Dostoyevsky's quote came to mind. I thought it appropriate that you ended with that quote and asked of the humanity of our system. You addressed what you saw in our system and not why it is as it is. Yours is a discussion a discussion that needs to be followed by the New Jim Crow.

  • What a beautiful speech. I am deeply moved. Thank you from Germany 🙏 If there is one thing I like about my country, it is the fact that the vast majority of us was able to learn from our history. Bless you 🍀❤️

  • I think how you educate your population has a lot to do with it. Would love to know what the curriculum is for elementary and secondary schools there, what the kids are taught are acceptable societal norms. It seems like there's a lot less shaming and derision, and a lot more "let's help you get yourself back on the right track."

  • Jeff I found your talk fascinating. If you see this comment, I’d be really interested to know why the North American crime and incarceration rates increased in the last 70 years? I feel it may have something to do with Hollywood and putting images on screens which give ideas to people who perform copycat crimes. Interested to know your thoughts. Peace
