Jesus Christ, that's nicer than my college. The cell has an exterior door, television, and is larger than my dorm room.

Also, looks like only 1 bed, which means no roommate and probably less male rape than one would expect.

Who do you have to shoot to get in there? My apartment's alright, but that's a definite upgrade.

That's pretty damn nice.

Just think...if Josef Fritzl is sentenced to prison, he might end up there. He might end up in a place far better than the basement where he imprisoned his daughter & the children she had by him.

Man if I spoke Austria-alian I'd be over there committing petty crimes.

Concrete or velvet, a prison is still a prison. Though with weekend furloughs and maybe a 10 year max sentence for murder, prison in most of Europe isn't as much of a drag as in, say, Texas.

 
Mugato [TotalFark] 2008-07-05 11:41:01 PM  
You get all that and anal rape? Count me in!

 
JohnnyC 2008-07-06 12:20:03 AM  
Looks to me like they seem to care more about reforming, reeducating, and actually improving their criminals instead of trying to make them worse (like we do here in the states).

I've heard that after a brief transition period, the anal sex becomes quite enjoyable...

 
Crosshair [TotalFark] 2008-07-06 01:28:10 AM  
I work in jails quite a bit and talk to the inmates. Lots of masturbation going on, but no rape as far as I have heard of. Perhaps you have to get to long term prison for that.

That is perhaps the most disturbing post I have ever seen on fark. Congratulations!

why is there always a catch??
there is no anal rape in my apartment, but it is super nasty and i have to work to pay for that shiathole.

So it's one of those white collar resort prisons? Not one of those federal pound me in the ass prisons you go to for money laundering.

Yeah here in Phoenix, they gave the air conditioned cells to be used for animal shelters and the prisoners get to live in:

I was gunna say, this cell is nothing compared to the "womens prison" that Martha Stewart got sent to when she was convicted of insider trading. They had cabins on a private lake with their own kitchens. It was like summer camp for criminals. Niiiiice.

It's got it all except a dictionary. "Luxuriest"? Written by a hobbiest journalist, no doubt.

Example of the pussification of Europe.

 
robbiedo 2008-07-06 02:32:12 AM  
It really comes down to whether you want to punish or rehabilitate people in prison. It is a fundamental philosophical decision. American prisons have focused on the punishment and mental torture aspects which make people even more farked up then when they go in. Of course, they can afford nicer jails since they don't have as many black and brown people to lock up.

???

Depends a lot on who's in the facility, what they're in for & how long, and to a very great extent, what the CO's are like. Rape is not nearly as ubiquitous and automatic as the mythology would have you believe, mostly because the prison officials pull out anyone who looks like they might be rape-fodder ahead of time.

According to my friend the CO in Nevada, sex offenders, juveniles, and gays are automatically segregated (at least in Nevada), as far as is possible; and others who request it are likewise segregated if they can prove they are targets (my friend calls them "fainting goats"). Boys who prostitute themselves in the units get sent to AdSeg.

And in Nevada, it's now a prison regulation that prisoners cannot give consent for sex, ergo, all prison sex is rape, and punished accordingly. Whether that will work or not remains to be seen.

Dr. Frisbee 2008-07-06 02:42:07 AM  
Wow. I live in a fantastic place, but that almost wants me to go to Australia and commit some kind of crime.

It's even cooler than my place (although the rooms are smaller, the closeness to the courts and other equipment would make up for it).

Anal rape might hurt the first couple of times, but the rent might be worth it.

It really comes down to whether you want to punish or rehabilitate people in prison. It is a fundamental philosophical decision.

No it's a false dilemma.

How the fark does nice surroundings rehabilitate someone? At best it calms the mind for some people, which might be no small thing, but true rehabilitation isn't something you can see in these photos. True rehabilitation is counseling, activities, and learning that one can live an ethical life within the law--and all this can happen whether your floor is hardwood or concrete.

BTW, for some people spending one night in the county jail is all the rehabilitation they need.

And speaking from experience, make that two weeks in county jail and if you're not scared straight, you're a freaking lost cause.

I bet you that prison could hold riddick

 
wildcardjack 2008-07-06 02:48:52 AM  
Well, perhaps what criminals really need are nice settings in which to reform. If you take someone from the slums and expose them to horrid settings and that is all they have ever known then horrid settings are what they feel comfortable in.

Perhaps we could do something like that if we didn't fill our jails with non-violent drug offenders.

I only have two questions:

How often are repeat offenders sent back to the prison, and do they treat the repeat offenders different than first timers?

They're as big as some studio apartments in SF, furnished & have cable TV. If I remember right some billionaire died & left a shiatload of money to build it. some homeless activist demanded that homeless be allowed to use it at night.

There are perks to marriage?

Begging the question, did the prisoners have to put the prison together themselves?

Pfft, again, depends on the venue. Only thing I learned from county lockup was:

A) Spades really is a decent way to pass the time.
B) If you live in NC, PAY YOUR F*CKING CHILD SUPPORT OR ELSE.

/Not why I was locked up.
//Met a guy who had back child support and couldn't get work release, so kept getting deeper in.
///Essentially a life sentence in the county jail.

 
Hector Remarkable 2008-07-06 03:09:28 AM  
Yeah, don't sign a lease on an apartment unless its got freedom guarantees and anal rape bans.

I met a poor bastard awaiting trial, a polite 20 year old kid, his bail set at $120,000 because his girlfriend used his belt to spank her daughter. No joke, they were charging him with "accessory to child endangerment".

I hope they tossed his case out.
