Inside the world's most humane prison
Anders Behring Breivik, the suspect in Norway's twin attacks, may end up serving time in a newly built maximum-security prison that's considered among the world's most luxurious, according to The Telegraph.
To ease the psychological burdens of imprisonment, the planners at Halden spent roughly $1 million on paintings, photography and light installations. According to a prison informational pamphlet, this mural by Norwegian graffiti artist Dolk "brings a touch of humor to a rather controlled space." Officials hope the art — along with creative outlets like drawing classes and wood workshops — will give inmates "a sense of being taken seriously."
