ON POINT: Inside Halden Prison, Where Inmates Live Like Kings...

Halden Prison (Norwegian: Halden fengsel) is a maximum-security prison in Halden, Norway. Established in 2010, it was created with a focus on rehabilitation that is reflected on the way it was designed. Its design was projected to help inmates to 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. Praised for its humane conditions, design and architecture, it has also received criticism from the Norwegian right-wing Progress Party.

- It is called the Halden Prison

- It is the World's Most Humane Prison

- Prisoners eat like princes. On a recent afternoon, homemade orange sorbet and slices of tropical fruit lined the table.

- Prison guards must not maltreat them. In fact they frequently eat meals and play sports with prisoners

- Their health is intact. Doctors, dentists, gynecologists etc are always around

- They learn to play musical instruments and record their own songs. They compete on Norway's version of American Idol.

I have a dream, that one day, our own Kirikiri prison would be like this
