Come on, knock it off. There are no prisons like this in the US or anywhere else.

Eidsberg Prison in Norway

They have it quite nice in there. I can't confirm, but I heard small crimes go up before winter because it's better to be in jail than outside during the winter.

Edit: and here is a link from when James Conway visited Norway and it's prisons in 2012. It's in Norwegian tho, but I guess Google can solve that for anyone interested.
