http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/03/500x_norway1.jpgA new jail opens in Norway on the 1st of April, which is incredibly modern with Banksy-style street art everywhere, natural lighting courtesy of Philips (http://www.lighting.philips.com/gl_en/global_sites/lighting/oem/projects/casestudy_halden_prison.php?main=gl_en_oem&parent=gl_en_oem&id=gl_en_oem%C3%A2%C2%8C%C2%A9=en), and even a music studio. It looks nicer than some people's houses, needless to say.
It'll contain 252 inmates when it opens next month, and will be the second-largest prison in Norway—situated near the Swedish border on 300 acres of land. Over 1.3 billion kroner (about $217m) was spent constructing it, with six million kroner ($1m) spent on the artwork alone, which was daubed by the Norwegian street artist Dolk.
