Halden Prison

Located in Halden, Østfold, Norway, Halden Prison was built for over 10 years at a cost of 1.5 billion Norwegian kroner ($252 million/£138 million/€150 million). The prison received its first inmates on March 1, 2010{{cite web | url=https://www.ssb.no/en/sosiale-forhold-og-kriminalitet/statistikker/kriminal_statres/aar/2012-10-30 | title=Correctional Services - StatRes, 2011 | date=October 30, 2012 | publisher=Statistics Norway | access-date=December 7, 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131115013844/http://www.ssb.no/en/sosiale-forhold-og-kriminalitet/statistikker/kriminal_statres/aar/2012-10-30 | archive-date=November 15, 2013 | url-status=live}} and was officially opened on April 8 by the Norwegian King Harald V.{{cite web | url=https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/riketstilstand/id616361/ | title=Melding frå Kongen til Stortinget om Noregs rikes tilstand og styring i tida etter siste melding | date=October 2, 2010 | publisher=Regjeringen.no | access-date=December 7, 2014 | language=Norwegian | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611114625/https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/riketstilstand/id616361/ | archive-date=June 11, 2016 | url-status=live }} It is Norway's second-largest prison with a capacity of 248–252 prisoners{{efn|name=cap|The total capacity is contested; Statistics Norway and Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation say it is 248,{{cite web | url=https://www.ssb.no/en/sosiale-forhold-og-kriminalitet/statistikker/fengsling/aar/2012-03-08 | title=Imprisonments, 2010 | date=March 8, 2012 | publisher=Statistics Norway | access-date=December 7, 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131115171330/http://www.ssb.no/en/sosiale-forhold-og-kriminalitet/statistikker/fengsling/aar/2012-03-08 | archive-date=November 15, 2013 | url-status=live}}{{cite web | url=https://www.nrk.no/ostfold/fengsel-pa-stort-lerret-1.11701951 | title=Fengsel på stort lerret | last=Prang | first=Rainer | date=May 6, 2010 | publisher=Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation | access-date=December 7, 2014 | language=Norwegian | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141209030039/http://www.nrk.no/ostfold/fengsel-pa-stort-lerret-1.11701951 | archive-date=December 9, 2014 | url-status=live}} while government's official site states it is 251, and Time and Northern Dimension Partnership in Public Health and Social Well-being affirm it is 252.}} and a site of {{convert|75|acres}}.{{cite magazine |url=https://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1986002,00.html | title=Norway Builds the World's Most Humane Prison | last=Adams | first=William Lee | magazine=Time | publisher=Time Inc. | date=May 10, 2010 | access-date=July 27, 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903145733/http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1986002,00.html | archive-date=September 3, 2014 | url-status=live}}

Sex offenders, who may face violence from other inmates, and prisoners who require close psychiatric or medical supervision, are located in Unit A, a restrictive and separated area. There is also a special unit (C8) focused on addiction recovery. Most inmates live in Units B and C, which are freer and have mixed cell blocks. Halden Prison receives both domestic and international criminals; as only around three-fifths of the prisoners are Norwegians (as of 2015), both Norwegian and English are used, and the prison has English teachers. However, fluency in Norwegian is a requirement to live in C8, because group and individual counseling is conducted in Norwegian.

There are no conventional security devices, such as barbed tape, electric fences, towers, or snipers.{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/the-radical-humaneness-of-norways-halden-prison.html | url-access=limited | title=The Radical Humaneness of Norway's Halden Prison | date=March 26, 2015 | last=Benko | first=Jessica | work=The New York Times Magazine | access-date=July 4, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161115101904/http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/the-radical-humaneness-of-norways-halden-prison.html?_r=1 | archive-date=November 15, 2016 | url-status=live }} However, there is safety glass,{{cite web | url=https://www.ndphs.org///documents/2670/Draft%20minutes%20PPHS%20EG_fin.pdf | title=Primary Health & Prison Health Systems Expert Group - Second Meeting | date=March 2011 | publisher=Northern Dimension Partnership in Public Health and Social Well-being | access-date=December 6, 2014 | page=8 | archive-date=December 8, 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141208195917/http://www.ndphs.org///documents/2670/Draft%20minutes%20PPHS%20EG_fin.pdf | url-status=dead }} a {{cvt|6|x|1500.|m}} concrete and steel wall, and a system of tunnels which guards use to walk through the prison. Although there are surveillance cameras on the prison grounds, they are not present in the cells, the cell hallways, the common rooms, the classrooms, and most of the workshops. While there is little violence reported, almost exclusively in Unit A, officers try to prevent it. If two inmates have a dispute, they engage in a mediation session under staff supervision. If mediation fails, repeated misbehavior or rule violations are punished with cell confinement or prison transference.{{cite web | url=https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/05/31/410532066/in-norway-a-prison-built-on-second-chances | title=In Norway, A Prison Built On Second Chances | date=May 31, 2015 | last=Kofman | first=Jeffrey | publisher=NPR | access-date=May 21, 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160515202505/http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/05/31/410532066/in-norway-a-prison-built-on-second-chances | archive-date=May 15, 2016 | url-status=live }}

With a focus on rehabilitation, it was designed to simulate a village so that the prisoners can consider themselves part of society. The government believes that "the smaller the difference between life inside and outside the prison, the easier the transition from prison to freedom." Interiors are painted and designed to demarcate the differences between home, school, and the workplace.{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8IW3AwAAQBAJ&pg=P203 | title=Contrasts in Punishment: An Explanation of Anglophone Excess and Nordic Exceptionalism | last1=Pratt | first1=John | last2=Eriksson | first2=Anna | publisher=Routledge | year=2014 | isbn=978-1-136-21700-5 | page=203}} In designing the prison's interiors, the architects tried to separate the internal buildings to have prisoners walking, to strengthen their bond with the outside world. The hallways are tiled with Moroccan tiles or have large-scale photographs, such as daffodils or Parisian streets.

Exteriors are composed of bricks, galvanized steel, and larch wood, instead of concrete. The black and red kiln-fired bricks were inspired by the trees, mosses, and bedrock of the surroundings. Natural life, including birch, blueberry, and pine trees, also contribute to rehabilitation. The steel, a "hard" material, symbolizes detention, while the larch, a "soft" material, stands for rehabilitation and growth. The yard walls and toilet doors are decorated by a graffiti painting by the Norwegian artist Dolk, which was ordered by the prison from its 6 million kroner ($1 million/£640,000) art budget.

All aspects of the prison's design aim to avoid psychological pressures, conflicts, and interpersonal friction. Despite this, the prison wall was designed for security. As the wall is visible everywhere, it was seen as a "symbol and an instrument" of "[the prisoners'] punishment, taking away their freedom", according to Gudrun Molden, one of its architects.

Each prison cell is {{convert|10.|sqm}} and has a flat-screen television, desk, mini-fridge, toilet with shower, and unbarred vertical window that lets in more light. Every 10–12 cells share a common area with a kitchen and a living room;{{cite web | url=https://www.businessinsider.com/what-are-norway-prisons-like | title=A Norwegian who killed 77 people is suing over prison conditions — these photos show how luxurious Norwegian prisons are | last1=Sterbenz | first1=Christina | last2=Engel | first2=Pamela | date=March 19, 2016 | work=Business Insider | publisher=Business Insider Inc. | access-date=May 21, 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160404055157/http://www.businessinsider.com/what-are-norway-prisons-like | archive-date=April 4, 2016 | url-status=live}} the kitchen has stainless steel silverware, porcelain plates, and a dining table, and the living room has a modular couch and a video game system.{{cite web | url=https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/norway-has-the-most-luxurious-and-humane-prisons-in-the-world/news-story/d26b8c94de440270abeb2ca7cf9420d4 | title=Norway has the most luxurious — and humane — prisons in the world | date=March 16, 2015 | last=O'Neill | first=Marnie | website=News.com.au | publisher=News Corp Australia | access-date=May 21, 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160627193840/http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/norway-has-the-most-luxurious--and-humane--prisons-in-the-world/news-story/d26b8c94de440270abeb2ca7cf9420d4 | archive-date=June 27, 2016 | url-status=live }} While the prison provides food, the prisoners can also buy ingredients at its grocery shop and cook their own meals. Inmates are locked in their cells twelve hours a day, but they are encouraged to maximize their time outside. Prisoners have an incentive of 53 kroner ($9/£5.60) a day to leave their cells.{{cite web | url=https://theweek.com/articles/475370/jail-where-every-prisoner-gets-flatscreen-tv-private-shower | title=The jail where every prisoner gets a flat-screen TV and private shower | date=May 21, 2012 | work=The Week | access-date=May 21, 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160511085257/http://theweek.com/articles/475370/jail-where-every-prisoner-gets-flatscreen-tv-private-shower | archive-date=May 11, 2016 | url-status=live }} Are Høidal, the prison's governor, stated that the fewer activities the prisoners have, the more aggressive they become. There is an "Activities House", and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m, there are practices on jogging trails and a football field, while wood working, cooking, and music classes are also offered. At the mixing studio, the inmates may record music and a monthly program broadcast by the local radio station. A library with books, magazines, CDs and DVDs; a gym with a rock-climbing wall; and a chapel are also available.{{cite web | url=https://foreignpolicy.com/slideshow/the-super-lux-super-max?page=0,3 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120620190123/http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/07/25/the_super_lux_super_max?page=0,3 | archive-date=June 20, 2012 | title=The Super-Lux Super Max | last=Masi | first=Alex | date=July 25, 2011 | work=Foreign Policy | publisher=Graham Holdings Company | access-date=December 19, 2014 | page=4}} Prisoners even receive questionnaires asking how their prison experience can be improved.

Inmates are allowed to receive their families, partners, or friends privately twice a week for two hours.{{cite web | url=http://www.criminallawandjustice.co.uk/comment/Sex-Prison | title=Sex in Prison | last=Atkinson | first=Loraine | work=Criminal Law & Justice Weekly | publisher=LexisNexis | date=May 6, 2014 | access-date=December 18, 2014 | volume=178 | issue=18 |url-access=subscription }} Individual rooms containing a sofa, sink, and cupboard with sheets, towels, and condoms are available for single-person visits. For those with families, a larger room with toys and baby-changing facilities is available. Inmates are checked after visits, and if illegal items are found, prisoners can lose their rights to private visits. This right is denied to high risk criminals and visitors with histories of drug offenses. There is also a separated, chalet-style house where prisoners can receive visits from family members and stay with them for 24 hours. The house has a small kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room with a dining table, a sofa, and a television, as well as an outdoor play area with toys. Foreigners are not allowed in and inmates have to complete a child-development education program to have 24-hour-long visits. During visits, staff make regular checks on the prisoners and their families.

As of 2012, Halden had 340 staff members, including teachers, healthcare workers, personal trainers, and guards (who also work as social workers due to their 2 year course that they have to take before becoming a guard).{{cite web | url=https://foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/07/25/the_super_lux_super_max?page=0,1 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928025916/http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/07/25/the_super_lux_super_max?page=0,1 | archive-date=September 28, 2011 | title=The Super-Lux Super Max | last=Masi | first=Alex | date=July 25, 2011 | work=Foreign Policy | publisher=Graham Holdings Company | access-date=December 19, 2014 | page=2}} The philosophy of "dynamic security", which encourages the staff and the inmates to develop interpersonal relationships, helps prevent potential aggression and guarantees safety. Guards eat meals and play sports with the inmates, and are typically unarmed because guns can produce intimidation and social distance. The interaction between prisoners and the staff is designed "to create a sense of family," according to architect Per Hojgaard Nielsen, and because the staff can be role models to help the inmates to recreate their sense of daily routine, for application outside of prison walls once their sentence is over. Half the guards are women, as Høidal thinks it minimizes aggression. The guard stations were also designed to be tiny and cramped, to encourage officers to interact more with the inmates.

Halden city's inhabitants view the prison as a chance to find employment rather than a bad thing. Nina Margareta Høie of the web magazine The Nordic Page stated that the prison is "known for having the most humanly conditions in Europe,"{{cite web | url=https://www.tnp.no/norway/panorama/4299-sweden-cautious-about-renting-prison-cells-to-norway | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140330051003/http://www.tnp.no/norway/panorama/4299-sweden-cautious-about-renting-prison-cells-to-norway | archive-date=March 30, 2014 | title=Sweden Cautious about Renting Prison Cells to Norway | last=Høie | first=Nina Margareta | date=February 6, 2014 | work=The Nordic Page | access-date=December 6, 2014}} while William Lee James of Time and Amelia Gentleman from The Guardian called it the world's "most humane prison."
