Halden has a gym, training room, chapel, library, ****** visiting unit, football (possibly soccer) field, a school, and, most unbelievably, a sound studio.
It's a gorgeous, ultra-modern structure right near the Swedish border, comprised of cells that are arranged in units of 10 to 12, much like a college dorm. Except these cells are actually better than most dorms, since every cell comes with a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, as well as a view--the windows don't even have bars in them.
Of course they don't have bars in them....
Why would they want to leave? :dunno:
It's all aimed at rehabilitating, rather than necessarily punishing, criminals, which is a noble exercise and all that, but it's sort of personally embarrassing to me to know that a prison is more luxurious than some of my past apartments.
