Hof is a working camp /prison for ppl with minor violations, for example DUI, minor drugs, speeding, fraud etc.
I know this because I’ve been locked up there for 21 days. (Speeding)
But it’s true what you write. Bastoy is a “green” prison with ppl doing more or less as they want to.
They just have to stay on that island.
In Norway we consider it as a punishment, just to lose your freedom for a period.
The inmates on this island is persons who has done mostly economy crime and /or ppl who has done longer time, and have less than a year left on their time.
The kinda need to adjust to a “normal” life before they are back in the public.
Sorry, don’t understand you.. but both of those two prisons is for "customers" of small offences. Except as I said, the inmates who has served long time, and shown that they are ready to meet the world again. They usually get to stay 7-10 months before they get into the public.
And it’s only 70-80 km between those two prisons. But it's way harder to get into bastøy
Very interesting
