However, there is a counter-argument for the policy reforms of United States prisons to be similar to that of Norway which claims that if prisoners are not controlled or shown more dignity they will become worse once given the freedom. This is attributed to the fact that the United States citizens view inmates as quite dangerous individuals who deserve longer sentencing and should be highly kept under. Also, if prisoners are not controlled while in prisons with use of tools such as seizures or tighter security then they will go for violence. However, I still stand by an argument for and not against the policy reforms of prisons in the U.S (Hayton, Paul, and John, 1732.). Furthermore, as Moore made other visits to Portugal he established that they have eliminated the penalties associated with the abuse of drugs. Rather, they treat drug addicts as patients who need health care instead of being confined to jails that do not provide appropriate treatment for such individuals. The United States should embrace such policies and enforce them in their prison systems to show more concern for human dignity. This aspect of the Portuguese systems has reduced the use of drugs in the state.
