Several years ago I regularly looked through local newspapers, read advertisements, advertising. And in that way improved my knowledge of Norwegian. And once I came upon such an advertisement: “Velkommen til fengsel!” Well, I think, we have lived to see it, they invite you to prison. At first I thought it was for work. Then I look, and a little below are placed photos of wooden furniture: chairs, benches, little tables, a cradle, a wooden toy dump truck. Clearly there was a workshop in the prison and they needed to sell the products. That is how they advertised it.
I also regularly watch Norwegian news. Once there was such a case. A prisoner needed to be transferred by aeroplane from one point to another. Prison staff drove him to the airport, and further decided not to accompany him, clearly thought he would get to the destination himself, and he “went and got lost”! I do not know how the matter ended — there were no more reports in the news.
And recently they decided to build a new prison in the South of Norway (in the North it is cold). They invited Prime Minister Erna Solberg so that she would lay the first stone and solemnly open the construction in the picturesque little town of Froland. There!
