I did a reportage on Bastøy Prison Island for the German red tub e news magazine red tub e Der Spiegel red tub e in 2010. On this island, located in the Oslo Fjord in Norway, are 115 inmates, punished for serious crimes, guarded by at least four unarmed guards. When I talked to these guys, I met some of the big names in Norwegian crime history. At the same time, I was very impressed by Arne Kvernvik Nilsen, chief of the prison, and how he treats the inmates: I treat them with respect, he said, and don t ask about their deeds. If they treat me the same way, they can succeed in society after their release.
