My visit to Bastøy Prison
The other week I visited Bastøy Prison, and held a writing course for a group of inmates that are leaving prison at some point this year. Bastøy is an open prison on an island outside Horten, and is known as the worlds largest human-ecological prison. The inmates live in small houses (no cells), have different jobs at the island and walk around freely. For a free man, it looks quite idyllic.
