This is one started up last year in Norway:
Ten years and 1.5 billion Norwegian kroner ($252 million) in the making, Halden is spread over 75 acres (30 hectares) of gently sloping forest in southeastern Norway. The facility boasts amenities like a sound studio, jogging trails and a freestanding two-bedroom house where inmates can host their families during overnight visits.

- chillax 15y agoA prison city? The prison isn't that big. Either way, these people will be locked up for a great deal of their lives. And one day they will be out on the streets again. Why lock them up in dehumanizing crime schools? Though, we have some of those too. Here is another example: http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4125865,00.html http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4125865,00.html
