It took 10 years and $252 million to built the world's most humane prison Halden Fengsel with a capacity of 252 inmate.
It is spread over 75 acres (30 hectares) of gently sloping forest in southeastern Norway.
Harald V, King of Norway, joined the opening celebration on April 8.
Each cell has a LCD TV and a shower.
The prison has its own recording studio, medical center and hundreds of paintings on the wall, that cost more than $1 million.
People say that life in prison is tough. But not in this one.
Take a look.

I think I will just go to prison there instead of working for a living.

I wonder if it would actually calm down the behaviours of the prisoners. Coz the prisons back here are crap and thats probably the reason why we spawn miscreants.

There is a difference between humane and comfortable. A prison should be humane but not someplace that maybe better than life on the outside. In the U.S. our maximum security prisons are barebones yet to many they are still preferable to homeless life on the streets.
Great photos though. Really interesting stuff.

If I ever need a vacation for relaxation, I'll chose Norway and it's beautiful and extremely cheap prison/hotel! 04 It's not only free but it looks better than most of the hotels i PAID to sleep in!

capitanqueso,

Pic no 12 is the main kitchen and the shower in one of the cells. Pic no 13 show one of the cells.

I'm a norwegian and i live in Norway and i think this is a wrong use of our taxmoney - a prison should not be better than a hotel......

Their inmates are treated very well, but they are also well behaved for criminals. They don't let the inmates get away with any nonsense. It's an environment where the criminal feels like there is a reason to follow the rules. Which makes it easier on the guards and it's actually cheaper to run the facility. Sad that Norway's inmates are better behaved then the average U.S. citizen.

Prisoners get this kind of treatment while GOOD people who
are down on their luck, homeless and HONEST struggle?
BS! I say put the prisoners back into hard labor and let the
good people enjoy the treatment prisoner-scumbags are receiving!
