Prisoners are provided with fairly comfortable conditions, with all the amenities and halls to spend time - and stay in shape.
For Eskimos there is a steam room (for a cleansing ritual) and a special place for fumigation with smoke. Patrick Kane went to prison and took a series of interesting photographs, which were then published in the Canadian Vice.
