HII NDIYO MAGEREZA BORA KULIKO ZOTE DUNIANI JITIRIRISHE NA UTAKUBARI MWENYEWE

A lesson for all the budding criminals out there: if you're going to commit a crime, do it in Norway, because the country is soon to open Halden Prison, possibly the world's most ridiculously posh prison.
When it opens on April 1, Halden Prison will hold 252 inmates, making it the second-largest prison in Norway. It's a gorgeous, ultra-modern structure right near the Swedish border, comprised of cells that are arranged in units of 10 to 12, much like a college dorm. Except these cells are actually better than most dorms, since every cell comes with a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, as well as a view--the windows don't even have bars in them.
But what about facilities, you might ask? My college dorm had a foosball table, and a vending machine! This prison can't match that, right? Wrong. Halden has a gym, training room, chapel, library, family visiting unit, football (possibly soccer) field, a school, and, most unbelievably, a sound studio. But it's the design that's most strikingly different from American prisons. Halden doesn't shy away from bright, cheerful colors, and actually spent about $1 million to hire a graffiti artist named Dolk (sort of their version of Banksy) to paint beautiful murals all around the grounds.
It's all aimed at rehabilitating, rather than necessarily punishing, criminals, which is a noble exercise and all that, but it's sort of personally embarrassing to me to know that a prison is more luxurious than some of my past apartments.

Nani aligharamia ukarabati wa kifahari wa ofisi ya Mkuu wa mkoa

Picha
Picha zimekuwa zikisambaa kwenye mitandao kuonyesha ufahari wa hali ya juu wa ofisi ya Mkuu wa mkoa wa dar es salaam. Ofisi hiyo imekuwa tofauti kabisa na ile ya Mkuu wa mkoa aliyepita bwana Sadick, ofisi ya Makonda ina kompyuta kadhaa za apple,mapambo mengi ya kila aina yanayoashiria ufahari na utukufu wa hali ya juu kuliko hata ofisi ya rais. Nani aligharamia ufahari huu wakati hata ikulu haijabadili muonekano? Kulikuwa na umuhimu wa kuweka ufahari huo katika kipindi hiki cha kubana matumizi? Nini kilipungua katika ofisi ya aliyekuwa Mkuu wa mkoa mpaka ufahari uongezwe katika jiji ambalo limezungukwa na wananchi wenye hali ngumu na maisha yasiyoridhisha. By iparamasa
