I find it unlikely Smed knew about the Scandinavian system at the time he sent the tweet, given his outrage about the sentence handed down.
I don't like rape jokes, particularly prison rape jokes, and I'm wholely convinced that was Smedley's meaning. That's the entirety of it.
Nothing to do with SJWs or whatever kind of activism you're assuming.

And I find it unlikely that a man who leads a multi-national company with a parent company based outside the US wouldn't have this knowledge. Google it; there have been news articles, documentaries and a TON of other in-depth looks at their methodology over the years questioning why their recidivism rates are so lower than those in the US. Ask the next 10 college-educated people you know, and I would wager than at least 80% of them know this.
I'm not a prison worker; I run an IT department and I know this. Why wouldn't the CEO of a multi-national company?
I think everyone here understands you don't like rape jokes, and that's OK. Guess what: I don't either!
What's NOT ok is reading the god damned tea-leaves to determine what was or wasn't on Smedley's mind after the man himself, his family, his livelihood and everything else about him has been under constant assault for the last few years, then using those magic tea-leaves to label him as a proponent of child rape! That's a leap of logic off the cliff of reason and straight into Alex Jones' backyard wading pool.
