Following a design competition in 2010, work started in 2012 and the 35,000 sq m complex opened late last year. Storstrøm Prison, on the island of Falster - roughly 115km from Copenhagen - has been designed by Danish architecture practice CF Møller for the country’s Prison and Probation Service. But in this unusual Danish prison I’m beginning to think I wouldn’t mind staying after all. It’s important to clarify I haven’t committed a crime - I’m merely a visitor. The governor is leading me around, a big set of heavy-duty keys jangling on his belt. I’m in a maximum-security prison, on a sparsely populated island in Denmark. Without so much as a misdemeanor to its name, Blueprint goes inside for a look around

Designed by by CF Møller, Denmark's Storstrøm Prison demonstrates a refreshingly nurturing and rehabilitating approach to prison design.
