Episode Synopsis

This episode tells the story of Halden, a maximum-security prison in Norway often called the most humane in the world. Built among birch and pine, with no bars on the windows and no guard towers, Halden challenges everything we think we know about punishment. But this isn’t a story about crime. It’s about what happens when trees become part of the architecture of change; as living witnesses to time, attention, and the possibility of becoming something else. Hosted on Acast.
