Dutch prison Bashny.Net

Neat gazonchiki, flower beds, playgrounds and buildings designed by renowned architects - a Dutch prison. It is more like a country club or recreation, but not prison. Here is everything you need for a full life. Today, the Dutch prison Penitentiary Maashegge contained 167 people, but after 2 years it will be closed. In 2009, the government announced the closure of 8 prison in 1200 and a reduction in workers due to the decrease in the crime rate in the country. In order to somehow save their beautiful prison, the Dutch government invites them foreign bandits. For example, last year received 500 Belgian villains.

This action is a prison colony. Now it contains 167 inmates and 140 staff work. At the entrance a full inspection of all communications take. Filming convicted strictly prohibited, so the photos you do not see them.





Inside everything is more like a park or a good children's camp. Neat gazonchiki, benches, beds and brand new housing, barracks. The Dutch can rightfully be proud of not only cheese, windmills and tulips, but also venerable prison system, which has been continuously improved since the end of the XVI century. It was then, in 1595 was built a prison "Tsuhthauz" in which prisoners were first to hold the work. Already since the country became operational principle of "Hoort" which can be translated as "humane view of the punishment." He received the name from the prison reformer Jan van de Hoorta.



Only high fences with barbed wire give appointment this place.



The territory is divided into zones. The passage between the zones through these gateways:



The operator opens the door remotely, so to steal the keys from the guard and escape fail.





Tours are conducted prison director, he asks the operator to open the gate for us in one of the blocks.



On arrival at the prison all prisoners sent to the showers. Further special computer confirm his identity - collate fingerprints, retina scans. Previously, there were cases when to sit out a term in jail not brought a criminal, and like a man who received a lot of money for this "service».



At the entrance hangs an evacuation plan). Conveniently in the escape.



On the walls hang posters for the staff. Compare our self-made propaganda.





Hall main unit. It contained 50 prisoners.





The closer to the end of the period - the softer the detention regime. At the end of prisoners can go home for the weekend. You can walk freely on the territory, in some cases not even a fence. Everything is done to ensure that after serving the term of imprisonment would normally join the usual life, and not be an outcast.





Everything is clean and fun.



All doors with electronic locks with the central management.





Family visits once a month - 2 hours. Calls are charged per week, you can talk for 10 minutes. There is also a library, you can use it once a week and to take no more than 5 books.



The courtyard for walks.





Single camera. It is a bit shabby, as there have not made repairs.



In prison you can work. This is usually a simple physical labor. Some companies bought the prison some products bring their machines, which concluded that some work. They work almost all, without it you can go scrip. Following a 4-hour day. The maximum earnings in prison - 25 euros per week. The money can be spent in the prison shop for food and cigarettes.



Each room has a radio, TV outlet and communication with the guards. For a TV to be paid - 6 euros a week. In special cases, may allow even game consoles.



And this camera for two. Beds suspended, they were removed. This camera is already at the toilet wall, so as not to embarrass the neighbor;)



For bad behavior sent to solitary confinement. There is nothing. Bed afternoon clean. Windows either, it is the lamp of the glass. In the corner of a surveillance camera.



Guilty issued a special form. The rest of the prisoners can go to their clothes.



In addition to clothing the prisoners issue ... chalk! Note the door. It is painted with special paint, you can paint on it. Perhaps drawing on the door - the only joy in the prisoner guilty. Back in the box put the clock to the time he knew.



Prison staff say that drawing is very important for prisoners. Board is in each chamber.



Yard for walks.



View from the window.



For those who are doing well is there here is a football field.



But the new building. The prison even won a sort of architectural award.



Previously, there was a Catholic boarding school, then in its place built a prison. Make it according to the principle "Build beautiful, it was a pity to destroy them." Principle, by the way, did not load. Wooden doors broken in the first week. It was necessary to urgently put metal.



We could that be spa in Barvikha.



In the Netherlands, one of the biggest interest of young people among the prisoners - 4.7% higher than in Malta only 6.1%.



Esplanade prisoners.



And this is a living room, where you can watch TV, if there is 6 euros per week for the rental of the camera.



The left is the kitchen. There the prisoners can prepare their own meals. Products can be purchased at the prison shop. Now I'm sorry I forgot to take pictures of the store itself, I will write a letter to the Director, sent to photograph;) The guards say that cooking concludes kinder.

​​

The rooms in the new prisons standard. Between the cameras - a compartment where there are garbage cans. At the end of the corridor kitchen: a small gas stove, set of pots and pans. Kitchen for those who are not satisfied with the standard menu, although it is sufficiently rich and varied. Breakfast is usually a light - bun, toast, jam, eggs, coffee, tea and juices. Three-course meal, plus a salad and fruit. Curiously, in some prisons, you can order some dishes from the restaurant. Jews often order kosher meals, such as gefilte fish. In some prisons there is a common table, but most of the food carts carry about the camera. Again, distributors reconciled with the menu, ordered prisoners, posted on the door. The cells except household appliances inhabitants have the right to keep a clear plastic container.



This housing for young people - to 23 years. Prisoners are kept in pre-trial. Pre-trial detention is not more than 3 months, then it has to be a court. Rest zone. There rapists and murderers spend long winter evenings



And this camera. For normal prisoners there are great benefits. For example, they have the right to keep the camera houseplant



Just like in a cheap hotel. Washbasin, toilet, bed, call button protection drawing board. No bars on the windows, armored glass vmete this. Prison should remind the house that a person is not completely angry.



Previously, even the doors were made of wood, like home, but for some reason, the bandits began to knock these doors down. Then all the doors sheathed metal.



Another body.



Indoor gym.



Living in another case.



While you can shake your term medical treatment. It concluded good doctors, nurses and attentive the best equipment; Curiously, recently it revealed only two cases of tuberculosis. Two examples. In 2008, the diet of the prisoners were introduced nutritional supplements, which, according to experts, reduce stress. But in prison Rotterdam went even further. As an experiment, there is, of course, under the supervision of doctors, through the ventilation system began spraying agent called "orange flavor". According to experts, the smell in humans is associated with health and freshness, thus reducing their aggressiveness. In turn, this will significantly save on sedatives.



Only fences spoil views of the resort. How to get to the Dutch prison? For example we have stayed for a couple of weeks in prison two CSKA fans after the match with "Herenfeen" on the UEFA Cup. Controllers train to find fault with the guests and ended scuffle. Our rights are not violated, but resisted the police.



Another feature of the prison system of the Netherlands - floating prison. They appeared because in 2007 the country was choking from the influx of illegal immigrants. Despite the fact that the year had been deported 20,000 undocumented persons, their number continued to grow. And then it was decided to set up three floating prisons in Rotterdam, and Dordehte Zaanreme - only 576 prisoners. The construction of these forts on the ground opposed locals staged a protest.



In memory of every prisoner leaves the impression of his face, never to come back here no more.



And another interesting detail: in the Dutch legislation is not an article for which the prisoner may obtain an additional term for the escape.



This school building, where you can brush up while sitting.



According to statistics for the 2009-2010 year, 94 people per 100 000 inhabitants were tyurme, in Finland the lowest - where 60 per 100 000.



Curious position of servants of Themis. If the judge wants the defendant served 5 years, he sentences him to seven. And for good behavior, two-thirds of a plane. Another principle of the prison system - the one who stole the wallet does not have to sit with a rapist or a murderer.



Hall and room religions.



Recently, some villains robbed the prison - pulled out of the TV cameras!



Prisons in the Netherlands prefilled by 86% - this is one of the lowest rates in Europe, the biggest in Bulgaria - there is filled to 155%, then comes Italy and Cyprus.



Computer class.



When I went to the prison, it drove a brand new Opel. Out of the car came out well-dressed man with a suitcase, kissed the woman sitting behind relem, and went to the checkpoint.
 - Who is it? - I asked the guard
 - This is one of the prisoners. He returns from vacation. Once a month, you can go home for the weekend.
