Notes on slide 1

Closed prison – this one is in Nykoping. It is not the building per se (pretty nice compared to many prisons in Australia for example) but rather the level of security and surveillance

The closed institutions however, are not all the same and have different security classifications. This is Kumla, one of two security grade A prisons (the other one is Hall) where the most serious offenders are. You can’t see that much of it since the corridors and transportation routes are underground to prevent escapes. People in here are all sentenced to at least 4 years imprisonment.

This is the ‘collective room’ where they also have a pantry to make coffee and have a snack, in the living quarters in an closed prison.

And this is an example of a cell – or living quarters as they are called – again in a closed institution. The open prisons looks somewhat different, as you will see shortly – first a look at a dining room.

This is an example of an open prison – looks pretty much like a house or farm in the outskirts of the city – which is basically is. This one is located in Åby, outside Uppsala.
