The use of imprisonment in open prisons is considerable in the Danish penal system. Accordingly, the open prisons have attracted a lot of international attention. In the past few years, this has especially been reflected in the literature about “Nordic Penal Exceptionalism” (Ugelvik and Dullum 2012; Pratt and Eriksson 2013). The open prison institution is considered an example of the allegedly humane conditions in the Nordic/Scandinavian countries, which has been explained, among other things, as a result of the Nordic countries’ egalitarian and humane policies. But is this assumption correct? Part of the answer to this question is to be found in the history of the open prisons in Denmark. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
