JAIL HALDEN hinges, NORWAY



Natural environment, with typical mountain fresh air, without the smell of urine, fug and aura of 'death'. Unlike the prison in the other hemisphere which damp and the smell of urine which stings, prison Halden fragrant with fragrant dishes from the kitchen lab, where inmates learn to cook .

Crease is very modern complex, with architecture and spatial design minimalist furniture. Hans Henrik Hoilund, a member team of architects Halden said that "the most important thing is to make Halden as closely as possible with the outside world." No bars in Halden. The exterior is made with bricks and wooden pine larch species. The only symbol of "containment" may be only 6 meters high concrete walls surrounding the prison complex, and even then made curved sides are not tapered and covered with trees, "so not too memorable not friendly", continued Hoilund.

Each cell for one inmate are equipped with flat screen TVs and mini-fridge, just like in a hotel room. Although not too great, looked very comfortable and homey with a desk that is very inviting. Every 10 to 12 cells share a living room and kitchen alone. Stainless steel kitchen table, living room bersofa and minimalist table.
