There's a prison in Japan where inmates run their own facility with almost no guards.

Akashi Prison uses the 'self-governance' system where inmates organize daily operations, maintain discipline, and educate each other. Guards stay in offices. It has one of the world's lowest recidivism rates (25% vs 40% average). This suggests humans respond better to autonomy than punishment—but few nations have adopted this model because it contradicts the belief that prisons should be brutal.
