Prison and comfort are two things that you'd never think go hand in hand -- that is, unless you’re C.F. Moller.
After winning a contest, the Danish designer was commissioned to design a correctional facility that’ll probably make inmates less miserable about their incarceration. The C.F. Moller design imagines the prison built like a small village with facilities such as an administration building, a library and a shop. The project is expected to be completed sometime in 2016.
