How’s it going Youtube I am Landon and welcome back to another most amazing top 10 video.
I’ve personally never been inside of a prison but I have read a ton of stories about how
bad they can be.
Many inmates can be mistreated and the environment is just like no other.
Well there are some rare prisons out there that are luxurious.
So, let’s take a look at the top 10 luxury prisons that actually exist.
It’s time to check out our first 5-star cell with Federal Prison Camp, Duluth, Prison
in at number 10.
If you are a criminal and you got arrested, this is the prison that you’d want to get
sent to.
This prison teaches you how to play the drums, guitar and piano.
You can become a Rockstar while wearing your orange jumpsuit behind bars.
I don’t think this is what Elvis had in mind when he sang Jailhouse rock.
Things get even more high class in at number 9 with Cebu Prison in the Philippines.
Inmates incarcerated at this prison spend four hours a day practicing a bunch of dance
routines.
They perform these dance routines as part of their daily exercise and rehabilitation.
They are actually really well known on Youtube and a lot of people consider them to be viral
internet stars because a lot of their performances are filmed and uploaded onto Youtube.
Watch this video of them This video has been viewed over 57 million times.
Whoa I wonder who is getting the money that was generated from that clip.
Locked up in at number 8 we have Aranjuez Prison.
Under normal circumstances, if a baby is born to a person who is incarcerated, the baby
will be sent to live with family or goes into child protective services.
However, this prison allows the children to remain with their parents or mother behind
bars until they are 3 years old.
This is the only prison in the world that has cells for families.
The child will have access to a lot of toys, other children to interact with, a playground
and of course they can still bond with their parents.
This seems crazy to me because in a way, the child is sort of imprisoned as well.
Champ – Dollon comes onto this list in at number 7.
It’s no secret that prison cells are tiny and uncomfortable.
Well, that is not the case at the Champ-Dollon prison because take a look at their spacious
cells.
These cells are recently renovated because the inmates complained about the size of their
rooms.
I literally think this cell is bigger than my bedroom.
I would want to live there, except for the barbed wire and iron bars on the windows.
Sollentuna Prison in Sweden comes in at number 6.
The buildings and facilities at this prison are actually a lot nicer than most apartment
buildings in Toronto.
Prisoners at this prison have full access to the kitchen so they can make their own
meals, work out in a state of the art gym and relax in beautifully furnished living
spaces.
It’s almost like being at home but for these prisoners, they can’t leave.
Her Majestys Prison Forest Bank in Manchester, England comes onto this list in at number
5.
The prisoners here are basically treated like royalty.
They were being served five luxurious meals a day and they would be offered over 100 different
types of meats, drinks and desserts.
It’s no surprise that the public was outraged when they found out that their hard-earned
tax money was being used to feed criminals these kinds of meals that would normally be
served in a five-star restaurant.
Some nights I make myself Kraft dinner and these criminals are getting fed lobster tail,
something’s not right with this picture.
Things get even more out of hand in at number 4 with the Justice Center in Leoben, Austria.
The prisoners here are able to move around the building freely and each prisoner has
their own bathroom, kitchen area and floor to ceiling windows that open up to a balcony.
Whoa, this sounds better than my condo in Toronto.
This five-star prison also has a gym, indoor court and your cell comes with its very own
television.
This sounds like ever prisoners dream to be locked up here.
Alright moving into number 3 we have Halden Prison, Norway.
All of the prisoners here are assigned to a private cell that comes with a mini fridge,
flat screen TV and an ensuite bathroom.
Is it weird that I am jealous of these criminals?
Their “cells” don’t even have bars on their windows so that more light can shine
through.
Oh and this resort, I mean prison has a recording studio, huge library, expensive gym and a
rock climbing wall.
Norway has a very low crime rate and they believe that if you treat prisoners well,
they will be less likely to reoffend when they are released.
And now we have Suomenlinna Prison in Helsinki Finland which makes it into number 2.
This is the world’s only open prison where there aren’t any gates, locks or uniforms.
The prisoners earn about $8 an hour, have cellphones, go into town to grocery shop and
they get vacation time each year.
They pay rent to the prison or they can choose to go to school instead of working.
They even get to take supervised camping and fishing trips.
Whoa, this sounds like summer camp or something.
They have it so good at this prison.
Finally in at our number 1 spot is Bastoy Prison in Norway.
Apparently, this jail feels more like a resort and it is situated on a one square mile island
that is full of beautiful scenery.
There’s a beach where the prisoners can sunbathe in the summer, they can fish and
there is a sauna and tennis courts.
These prisoners have committed crimes such as murder, rape and drug trafficking but yet
they have wooden cottages instead of cells and they have so much freedom.
It’s more of a vacation for these criminals.
Hmm maybe I wouldn’t mind getting arrested in Norway.
Well there you guys have it…
