Prisons

Moinsen,

It took a while but I am writting again. I decided to manage my time differently and unfortunately the Blog was relegated due to higher ranked priorities.

Hopefully, I'll put some more effort into it. At least in order to practice.

Here an is an image of a prison cell in Norway. Besides freedom itself (what could be relative to some extent), their rooms look better, including a TV, than the supposedly new Studentenwohnheim Gemeinschaft (Studenten-WG) in which I inhabited the past year. Probably the rooms are quieter considering how walls are built (lucky prisioners).



Ich glaube es wäre schon zumindest versuchen auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Es erscheint dass man braucht eine lange Zeit die Sprachefähigkeiten zu entwickeln aber schon eine gute Übung für mich. (I should write in German to practice).

Anyways, I put some other examples here taken by Juernge Chill giving him a prize in arquitecture photography.

 




 And now some examples for Latin America. Firstly,  in Brazil an overcrouded female cell and the solution taken by some states such as ES and SC to it (yes, containers):



Male prisioners:




I suppose this is proportionately usual to the cities' size. Even though it woud not  such a surprise if most of smaller cities also happen to have penintiary superpopulation. In Peru the Cañete II does not look much different as well as in Argentina.
