If "the best" prison is supposed to mean "the most advanced and most secure", then my first thought would be the ADX Florence in Colorado.
When I was a correctional officer, we would watch docu's about this prison and it's list of high profile inmates.
Very impressive, to say the least.
Best prisons in the world? This sounds like a topic for homeless people because some of them want to go to jail just so they'll have a place to sleep besides under an overpass and a park bench and of course for the food.
There is no best prison when they're full of murderers, pedophiles, thieves, rapist, and whoever else.
Unless by 'best' you mean something else. In that case, you should have used another word.
i guess i should have bn more clear.
Common sense dictates that he's referring to rehabilitation rates, living standards in the prison, rates of return "felons", etc.
👆
and if you think prisons are designed to continue torturing and having crimes committed on inmates as part of their sentence then well some of you need to go to prison or open a law book and read what the purpose of a prison really is and designed for.
Prisons aren't designed to be fun, it's punishment or confinement and some do see it as torture. When I here the word best, it registers as the most desirable and who desires to go to prison other than maybe a homeless person like I explain in my last post. So, I lack common sense because I perceived the word 'best' differently, huh?

It's merely a place for people who break contracts. Or at least it should be. 🙁
It is. You get sent to prison for violating the social contract that is the framework of most modern governments, generally by taking an action that the society you are in judges to be harmful to others.

It sure as f.uck is for the prisoner, but in a technical sense it isn't. Going way over the line into fantasy, sticking someone in another dimension of milk and honey where they could never bother anyone again would constitute a prison.
a) do you really think there are many prisons like that?
b) imagine how sticky and gross that would be after a few days, also there's the total lack of human contact

It's 'cause I know you too well, babycakes. 😆
What is obvious to me is not obvious to others and vice versa. Just depends on the thing, but, this time, I thought it was obvious. It would seem odd if you asked which prison had the best food and housing. lulz

It was Denmark, iirc. Best prison sentences EVAR! Murderers and rapists are sent to some sort of paradise island and allowed to live a normal life, like raise a family and do community work.Worst prisons ever: Most prisons in the Middle East.
They look like friggin caves! Makes you feel like your in The Flintstones' house, with a bed made of rock and everything.
In the sense of being return felons, I think you're right. It's not as peachy as you make it out to be, of course, but, yeah, return felon rates was like the best in the world, or something. When someone goes to prison for a crime against society, you want them to rehab and reintegrate to being productive citizens, again. Well, not really productive, but no a menace.

What's sad is you're right.
I know, I know: well, if they do almost everything right, why don't you LIVE there, a**hole!
Sounds good. 🙂 Their IT infrastructure is pretty advanced in both government and commercial (better than the US). I would not pass up an opportunity to live there if an offer comes my way. (I'd prefer to work here in the US, though, making good money...because I'm a damned patriot...damnit.)

recidivism rate is nil and iirc the maximum sentence is 21 years.
Yeah, you know what I was talking about. I have this retardation with names...but I remembered the film: Capitalism: A Love Story.

Yeah Norway....a prison where criminals get to live with their families and they police the prison themselves. Apparently it works fine.

In some european prisons ie Germany and the Netherlands the prisons are apparently good. The prisoners only have to stay in at nights, have TV´s and other luxuries not to mention the oppertunity of studying or learning a trade. This is probably not the sort of prisons mass murderers are put in mind.
If your some politician or rich person then you´r gonna get a nice deal as well if your put away.
As for the worst, Ive heard the Turkish prisons are rather nasty.
