(check out this link for a photograph of the overall prison, you'll be amazed!!)
And a little word about Agder: it's a new prison (2020), with a new director and new prison staff that never worked in another detention facility before (very important for the way the prison operates in the way it does. There's no prejudice, they started with a blank slate).
Here are some striking quotes of Jan, educational coordinator at Agder prison Froland:
We need to keep them busy!
Education is a right. So I, as educational coordinator, have the right to be here!
Use the lowest possible regime of security measures!
To the inmate: What can I do for you to achieve your goals?
My conclusion about our visit: in Norway, people get the confidence and opportunity to be a visionary in prison education!
