[www.keralites.net] Resort Like Prisons Of Netherlands

 

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Tiny lawns, garden beds, sports grounds and buildings constructed by famous architects are all situated on the territory of the Holland prison which reminds more of a recreation facility but not a correction one. It provides its 167 prisoners with all necessary things. You have a chance to look at the place until it is closed due to reduction of crime level in the country. Local government is ready to accept foreign criminals to prevent Holland prisons from decay.

This is a medium-security prison which contains 167 prisoners and 140 employees. Taking pictures of the prisoners is prohibited.

The prison looks like a park inside. The Dutch can be definitely proud not only of their cheese, tulips and wind-mills but also of the penitentiary system that had gone through perfection since the 16th century. In 1595 they built the first prison where criminals were engaged in working and where the principle of humanity prevailed.
