   Is this like a high end prison? Did I see a tv in a prison cell? wait, something looked like a kitchen. I understand why they have ping-pong and basketball court, but having tv and so much entertainment is kind of defeating the purpose of imprisonment, isn’t it?

   Ok, I know, imprisonment is not to punish prisoners, but making life in prison so damn comfortable is kind of a waste in tax money too. I don’t think making prisoners happy will help them learn that stealing/ killing/ raping… is bad. I’m sure that there are more deserving people for the money than rapists and murderers.

   Let the kids in Africa look at this, I’m not sure they can handle the irony or not.

   One more thing, putting the prisoners, the judge and the cops that caught and convicted those prisoners close to each other won’t make them friends.

   Found this site on StumbleUpon. Blimey, I used to live in Leoben and went to school there. Apparently, Napoleon stopped over for a night in Leoben, on his way to Austerlitz. I agree with the luxury angle in the prisoners’ accommodation but the architecture is thrilling.

   ma65p - this isn’t a prison for rapists and murderers, it’s a low security prison for white collar criminals, people who don’t pay their taxes, parking tickets, etc.

   Chris, thanks for verifying that, I haven’t check back in a while. You are right. But still, I don’t have a house and I’m a poor college student, it would be nice if I just quit paying my tax and live in this kind of prison. Hah, then my tax money would be put to good use.
