12 Most Luxurious Prisons In The World by MrPolitics: 2:09pm On Jan 09, 2018 |
When you think of prison, I bet your thoughts are dominated by images of iron bars, dark hallways, sub-par food and general overall dismay in the air. But what if I told you not all prisons look like that. In fact there are some around the world that, despite being legit prisons , are the exact opposite of what I just described. Here are 12 of the world's most comfortable prisons - institutions that have changed how we look at correctional facilities. 1. Bastoy Prison, Norway Located on Bastoy Island in Oslofjord, this prison houses a little over 100 inmates who, within the prison complex, enjoy luxuries like tennis, horseback-riding, fishing and sunbathing. With tasteful cottages to house them and lush farms to work on, the prisoners at this minimum security institution probably often forget they're prisoners. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.scoopwhoop.com/amp/most-luxurious-prisons-in-the-world/ Lalasticlala mynd44 1 Like

4. Justice Center Leoben, Austria A quaint European residence for non-violent offenders, the Justice Center prison gives each of its prisoners a single cell, with a private bathroom, and kitchenette, plus a television. All that and their fully-equipped gym, basketball court and outdoor recreation area would make for a considerably cushy sentence, if you ask me. 1 Like

5. Aranjuez Prison, Spain Addressing the way that correctional facilities rip families apart, this innovative institution provides for infant children to live their first years with their incarcerated parents. Equipped with cribs, Disney characters on the walls, and a kids' play area, Aranjuez gives incarcerated parents a chance to experience parenthood despite circumstances, and a parent to those too young to comprehend the reality of being imprisoned. 1 Like

Pondok Bambu Prison, Indonesia While a luxurious lifestyle comes at a price - corruption - the Pondok Bambu prison is a women's facility fully equipped with everything from air-conditioners and refrigerators to karaoke machines and nail salons.
