‘Humane Prison’ To Bring Greenland's Most Dangerous Criminals Home

Greenland runs a uniquely "open" prison system, with many inmates allowed to leave the premises to work, study, or even go hunting, before returning at night.

Consequently, none of the existing penitentiaries can accommodate high-security inmates, and this has long presented Greenland with a problem.

Greeenland is now ready to open its "humane prison" in 2019 to accommodate high-security inmates rather than sending them on exile to serve their prison sentences.

Exponents of the "humane prison" philosophy believe that if prisons mimic the conditions of normal life, as far as is possible, offenders have a greater chance of successful reintegration into society, and less chance of re-offending.

Greenland with only 56,000 residents is the least-densely populated country in the world, having just six prisons with a collective capacity for 154 prisoners.
