It’s the ultimate prison break for murderers and rapists – en-suite bathrooms, £1million Banksy-style art and even windows without bars.
That’s the ‘hard-time’ waiting for some of Norway’s most dangerous criminals in the new purpose built £15 million Halden Prison.
The jail took 10 years to build and has been touted to be the most humane in the world for its 252 inmates.
Prison authorities claim the luxury environment of the 75-acre site helps reduce the country’s already very low crime rate.
Each inmate gets a private cell with mini-fridge, flat-screen TV and even a private en-suite bathroom and barless windows – because they let in more sunlight.
Then for every 12 to 15 rooms there is a top-notch kitchen with stainless steel work tops and lounge areas complete with IKEA-style sofas and coffee tables.
To cap-off their stay at Halden, the pampered prisoners can even enjoy a gym – complete with rock-climbing wall – a music studio and luxury library.
