"prisoners have it too easy"

[platypus]

We've all heard it, and yes they have far too cushy an existence, with sky television, consoles, games, activities, et al.

Check out this prison in Austria.

Looks like a decent holiday resort, let alone a prison.

I'd spend a few days there on holiday ffs

What did Kryten say? "We must not be seduced by all this fine living. However munificent our captor, we are still prisoners." Looks like a nice place but they'll still rot away for decades there. After a couple of weeks you'd hate it.

And *such* a reliable source.

Looks nicer than my office

No wonder Austrians seem so keen to build their own prisons...

Haha, that had me in stitches.

Nothing worse than people leaving prison with a chip on their shoulder against society. Sending someone to prison at the moment is the equivalent of sending someone to criminal university.

Do they deport people whom come into their country and commit murder? That makes a massive step up from the crappy place I'm stuck in

Looks like a university campus!

Awesome looking prison. Bet it cost a load to build.

Just thought exactly the same thing.

One more 'option' on my list, anyway. God bless the poor sod who's life I take, though.

Don't do me no favours

P.S. No, you cannot have my laptop if you do

That's not a nice prison, that's just good architecture.

Prison isn't about spending time in the worlds most degrading or horrible environment- it is about having your freedom taken away.

looks more like center parcs, can they hire a bike for the duration of their stay and hit the dirt track?

I think until you've been imprisoned do you really *get it*.

and no, i've not been inside, but I know people that have.

Agreed very much, people have no idea what it's like. I have by no means experienced what prisoners have felt, but I have a very good idea how people feel inside and it's not holiday camp that a lot of ignorant people think it is.

I suppose it depends on what a term in prison should be - a punishment and/or a rehabilitation. For the prisoners perspective, I suppose rehabilitation is the most important so he/she can return to society and not re-offend. But for the victim/s I can understand the need for punishment.
