If convicted, Anders Behring Breivik, the Norvegian accused of killing over 70 adolescents and adults in a series of terrorist attactk, will probably serve a limited sentence (20-30 years) term. He might even end up in Halden prison, where the inmates cook their own food in regular comfort kitchens.

The prison – the second-largest in Norway – costs 165m Euro and accommodates 248 male inmates. Some 760,000 Euro were spent just on artworks, some of which commissioned to Norway’s most renowned street artist, Dolk.

The inmates can attend a vast range of formative courses at a official high school located inside the prison. Subjects can include languages, IT, science, catering, music, (there is even a professional sound studio) art and handicraft and several sports.
