Which is the most beautiful prison in the world? You may find this question childish, but believe me, this question is very interesting. The world's most beautiful prison is in Norway and many articles have already been written on this prison. The special thing about this prison is that you can live here with your family. I mean if a prisoner understands that he is feeling lonely, he can bring his family.
A few years ago a BBC report came, after which this jail became very famous. It was told in that report that there is such a prison in the world where the prisoners live without any hassle. He doesn't even feel like going out of this jail.
What is Norway's prison system?
Norway's approach has been one where punishment has been reinvented. In Norway, the focus is on change rather than punishment. There are many such prisons in Norway which are famous all over the world, but the most famous is Bastoy Prison.
This prison is like a five-star hotel, which has its own private beach and ski rink.
What is special about Bastoy Prison?
About 100 prisoners live here, some of whom are imprisoned in connection with the murder. There are 80 buildings on this island, there is land for farming, there is a forest for trekking and camping, and there is no fence here. Prisoners are brought here even after committing serious crimes like rape, drugs, smuggling, and murder.
Along with so many criminals, there is also a staff of 70 people. The guards don't have guns here. Except for some serious prisoners, the rest of the prisoners can close the door of their cells themselves.
How do the prisoners live in the rooms?
The prisoners here are given comfortable wooden cabins. Just like you book with Airbnb etc. There are many facilities like TV, fridge, AC etc. in their cabin.
Prisoners spend most of their day farming; they are given training in some new skills. Efforts are made to reform them in this jail.
The prison has a library, church, ski area, soccer pitch, beach, etc.
Prisoner’s family can stay with the them
His family can also live with the prisoners here. On weekends, they can stay in the visitors' apartment. The children of the prisoners also come and live with them. The atmosphere becomes very pleasant during the weekend. There is only one rule in this that the prisoners have to work instead of it. The money that will be earned from this will be spent in the Prison Shop only.
The same BBC report also gives some startling statistics. According to the report, the recidivism rate of the prisoners who come here even after committing serious crimes is the lowest in the whole of Europe. On average, 70 percent of criminals re-offend, but in Norway this figure drops to 16%. The jail here is called the world's best prison.
