    I am interested in the topic of the video but I really really don't like the production. Way too flashy with overly dramatic music, text popping in everywhere and really hectic camera movement.

    That was a lot more humane than I expected. The technology here is interesting, but it’s really good to see that the people incarcerated here have opportunities to reintegrate into society. And also that they aren’t treated poorly in the facility itself. It seems like a thoughtful design.

    Interesting. It appears to be classified as a "resettlement prison", whose purpose is to prepare inmates for release back into society. It appears that they're making a decent attempt at that. They're able to forgo at least some of the security techniques that higher-level prisons require. I'd be curious to see, over time, what the recidivism rate is for inmates from this facility compared to your typical shitty prisons.
