Pro tip: If you're gonna steal from a bank, steal from a Norwegian one.
- Is there a back story to this that I don't know?
  
  Norwegian prisons are famously relatively humane compared to most other countries
  
  They have a better quality of life than low-income US citizen. Except for, you know, not being able to leave.
  Here's an article about one of those prisons on an island: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidnikel/2020/07/01/basty-norways-island-prison-where-inmates-work-ski-and-watch-tv/
  
  Yes, I agree, but
  they're not all as nice as that one
  the US is especially bad
  Norwegians who aren't in prison have a way higher quality of life
  not being able to leave is still a pretty big deal
  
  Ah, thanks.
