Ha-Has round jails

Nicholas Saunders

A modern high security jail in Denmark (near Ringe in Fun) has a ha-ha sunken wall (further protected electronically), allowing the prisoners to see out into open countryside and so not to feel enclosed. The prisoners are divided into small mixed households (although there are ten times as many men as women). Each household does its own cooking and washing up, and does its shopping from its own budget in the prison supermarket. The prison has its own factory.

Is it not time for the UK prison service to move into the twentieth century?
