Top 12 Most Comfortable Prisons In The World by massmediang: 9:37pm On Feb 03, 2019
Prisons create a first impression of some form of shackles that prevent inmates from leading a normal life. But there are some prisons across the world that look more comfortable that even an above average home. When you see a luxurious prison you might wonder whether inmates actually committed crime or paid to spend some time in them. Take a look at this list of top 12 most comfortable prisons in the world.
Here are 12 of the world’s most comfortable prisons – institutions that have changed how we look at correctional facilities.
1. Bastoy Prison, Norway
Located on Bastoy Island in Oslofjord, this prison houses a little over 100 inmates who, within the prison complex, enjoy luxuries like tennis, horseback-riding, fishing and sunbathing. With tasteful cottages to house them and lush farms to work on, the prisoners at this minimum security institution probably often forget they’re prisoners.

2. Sollentuna Prison, Sweden

This prison is that cushiest prison in the top ten lists of luxurious jail which offers its inmates full-equipped gym and workout activities in order to maintain their body shape. This prison also sounds like a home, because you are free to cook your own meals, and watch TV on their own couches, except for the fact that you can’t leave. As well as the surprising fact is that Sweden has actually been closing its prison due to the lack of prisoners, as the whole country has aimed to invest the majority of their time, money, and energy in order to reduce crime

3. HMP Addiewell, Scotland

A designated learning prison, Her Majesty’s Prison Addiewell in southern Scotland allots each of its resident inmates 40 weekly hours of productive skill building. With a special focus on helping inmates transition back to civilian life in a purposeful and fulfilling manner, Addiewell’s 700 prisoners are sure in good hands.

4. Otago Corrections Facility, New Zealand


While its security measures are not taken lightly, Otago provides its inmates with comfortable rooms, and attributes great significance to change through skill building. Holding classes in light engineering, dairy farming and cooking among other things, Otago strives to rehabilitate effectively.

5. Justice Center Leoben, Austria

A quaint European residence for non-violent offenders, the Justice Center prison gives each of its prisoners a single cell, with a private bathroom, and kitchenette, plus a television. All that and their fully-equipped gym, basketball court and outdoor recreation area would make for a considerably cushy sentence, if you ask me.

6. Aranjuez Prison, Spain

Addressing the way that correctional facilities rip families apart, this innovative institution provides for infant children to live their first years with their incarcerated parents. Equipped with cribs, Disney characters on the walls, and a kids’ play area, Aranjuez gives incarcerated parents a chance to experience parenthood despite circumstances, and a parent to those too young to comprehend the reality of being imprisoned.

7. Champ-Dollon Prison, Switzerland

Previously infamous for overcrowding, the newly refurbished residences in Champ-Dollon boasts of spacious triple-occupancy cells that include an attached bathroom. Ample facilities such as these allow the inmates to feel less like prisoners and more like university dorm-mates working together towards rehabilitation.

8. JVA Fuhlsbuettel Prison, Germany

This Hamburg prison is home to many long-serving inmates who enjoy spacious cells that have beds, a couch and a private shower and toilet along with plentiful natural light. Among its many facilities, JVA Fuhlsbuettel provides its prisoners machines to do their laundry and access to a conference room and a recreation room.

No matter how comfortable a prison might look or be, a prison remains a prison, freedom remains the best, and it pays to enjoy freedom
