Prison Island Bastia

Norway has always been known for its truly humane prison system, so the most desirable place to dream to get all prisoners - a Norwegian island Bastia. That there is, perhaps, the most heavenly stronghold of order among all the presently existing prisons. According to the degree of loyalty can be compared with it unless a prison in the Venezuelan city of San Antonio.

Located just an hour from Oslo, the island of Bastia is a picturesque place, reachable only by water transport. There are several beaches, equipped with tennis courts and even a sauna. Instead is in jail, 115 inmates of the prison amazing live in comfortable wooden domikah.

But that never happened on the island of Bastia, it's angry barbed wire and guards with machine guns and sheepdogs. And this is despite the fact that live there the most notorious criminals of all stripes, from drug dealers and rapists and fraudsters to ubiyts.

With regard to the detention regime, the main duty of every prisoner is labor. We all have a job in which they should be from 8:30 to 15:30. Every day, the prisoners receive a salary of $ 10, and can spend it on groceries at the local store, thus providing breakfast and dinner on request. Lunch for all required, it prepares a camp chef - both for prisoners and for the guards. Also, several times a day, prisoners are required to otmechatsya.

The purpose of the prison island Basten is not to offend the good citizens of Norway, pampering criminals rather than punish, but to change them and allow them to return to society. "The main thing - to create a situation in which prisoners will be able to open ourselves in a new way, to start again respect themselves," - says the head of the colony Arne Kvernvik Nilsen.

As surprising as it may sound, but the method of this fabulous work of prison. According to statistics, 20% of offenders have been in Norwegian prisons, there are again a few years after the liberation. And of those who had the opportunity to spend a period of Bastia on the island, re-convicted are only 16%. See also: 6 the shortest geographical names. Mexican city on the water.
