Welcome To Halden Prison "Would you spend a day here?" by Nobody: 3:54am On Apr 17, 2015
Halden Prison ( Halden fengsel) is a maximum-security prison in Halden, Norway. Established in 2010, it was created with a focus on rehabilitation that is reflected in its design. Its design is projected to help inmates reintegrate into society easily by simulating life outside the prison. With the same purpose, there are several activities available to the prisoners that vary from sports to music. Also, they are stimulated to interact with the non-armed staff to create a sense of community.

Located in Halden, Østfold, Norway, Halden Prison was built with 1.5 billion Norwegian kroner ($252 million/£15 million) and was constructed over 10 years.The prison was officially opened on April 8 by the Norwegian King Harald V. With a capacity of 248–252 prisoners.

A maximum-security prison, it hosts dangerous and high dangerous criminals, which includes rapists, murderers and child rapists.
The prison's cells are 10 square metres (110 sq ft) and have a flat-screen television, a toilet, a shower, a mini-fridge, and unbarred vertical windows that let in more light. Prisoners share kitchens and living rooms every 10–12 cells, and while the prison provides the food the prisoners also can buy ingredients and make their own meal. The direction encourages the inmates to take as much time as possible out of their cells. Prisoners have an incentive of 53 kroner (£5.60) to leave the cells; Are Høidal, the prison's governor, stated that it is because the less activities the prisoners have, the more aggressive they become. There is an "Activities House", and from the period of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m, there are practices on jogging trails and in a soccer field, and woodshop, cooking and music classes offered. At the mixing studio, the inmates also have the opportunity to record music and a monthly program broadcast by the local radio station. A library with books, magazines, CDs, and DVDs, and a gym with a rock-climbing wall are also available. Prisoners also receive questionnaires that ask how their prison experience can be improved.

Prisoners are allowed to privately receive their families, partners or friends twice per week for two hours. 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 ready to use. After visits, inmates are checked and if found in possession of illegal belongings can lose their right to a private visit. This right is beforehand denied to criminals of high risk and visitors with a history of drugs offence. There is also a separate 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 outside play area with toys. Foreigners are not allowed and inmates have to complete a child development education program to have 24-hour-long visits. During this period of time, staff make regular visits to the prisoners and their families.
