The second-largest Norway’s Halden Prison opened on April 6. In case you are planning to commit a crime, better do it in Norway. This country has spent $252 million to build a posh prison for 252 inmates.
Every cell is arranged in units of 10 to 12 and just looks gorgeous. It reminds of a college dorm except this prison is even better. Every cell has a private bathroom, modern furniture and a flat-screen TV. By the way, there are no bars on the windows so you get a nice view.
There is a gym, football field, a library and, believe it or not, a sound studio in Halden Prison. This is ridiculous, but Halden spent $1 million on graffiti all around the grounds!
This prison is more luxurious than many apartments in Europe.
It is a sad fact that criminals often go straight back to their old ways when leaving prison. Often because they see no other alternative.
The prison is intended for and will in time be for norwegian citizens who can be helped to work normally instead of taking up their old ways. Right now, it is regretably full of people who are just going to be sent out of Norway.
There are also the sick people, with severe psychological illnesses and they have to be well taken care of, well cared for in hospitals.
Take the poverty, chauvinism, and monetary system (money) out of the equation, give people an education based on research and technical knowledge, and they would behave very differently.
And use those NEW people to take care of our sick and ill ones. They would be capable of relevant research on how to cure illnesses, how to create things and how to keep us from killing or maybe literally eating each-other like zombies.
This prison is just one step closer to human understanding, however this is the LEAST of our problems.
We don't need to "upgrade" our prisons, what we DO need to do is we need to take out the cause that's leading to this sick behavior just as stated above.
So overall, I think this may be a sick product of a sick and most important of all: BLIND, maybe even RETARDED society.
The life is so good there.When they go out,they just mind to return .
Perhaps that repeat offenders are expatriate to usa.
there's no Norwegian in this prison,, only east Europeans
That being said, only idiots go to jail, anywhere in the world, and especially in Norway! Social help, employment market and EVERYTHING else is sooo good in Norge that only retards would do something stupid and end up in jail. It's easy to get a job, even with high school, and the paychecks are good enough. I just don't get it... And, even though I was a foreigner in Norway I vote for immediate transport out of the country with the first crime committed...
Fuck all you retards who think you are so much better than anybody who looks different than yourself.
Iknow that our country`s seniors that live in a retirement home wants to do a crime so they end up in Halden prison so they can live their last years of life in a better way than in the retirement home.. Thats says alot if you ask me
Thank you for raping our women, now let's house you in a luxury resort!
it's better than my house!
if i could afford a plane ticket to Norway i'd rob a bank just to live there!
