Re-education camps:

Re-education:

Re-education is a Scandinavian invention. It is a way to make useful citizens out of criminals and dissidents. With a series of hypnotic suggestions, as well as modern psychological proceedures, the personality of the prisoners will be altered to fit the Scandinavian society again. Some prisoners need more than a little correction, and they receive a special collar, a Loyalty collar. The collar is locked and coded to the Reeducation camp, and contains electronics to locate it and to remind them to stay loyal. The loyalty circuits send an electric charge into the nerves which will cause extreme pain, as well as paralysis. An execution circuit is installed, and if neccesary an impulse will explode the collar, and effectively behead the prisoner. Any attempt to tamper with the collar will trigger the anti-tamper device. The first attempt will trigger the loyalty circuit to fire a pain and paralysis chock. The next will promptly trigger the execution circuit. If the collar is removed, it will self destruct unless removed at the correct facility. This will also happen if the location circuit is removed from the Loyalty Network.

For more hardened criminals, a chemical compund is added to the treatment. After the treatment, the prisoner cannot live without a daily dose of the compound. This chemical compound is extremely difficult to fabricate, and the formula is a very well kept secret.

To even more dangerous criminals, magical personalty alteration procedures are added to the treatment. This takes a long time, if the prisoner shall retain some of his own perhaps important personality. A Complete mind-wipe is possible, and those that are selected for the treatment is often sent to the military hospitals, and turned into super-soldiers.

The basic concept of the re-education is to make the criminal useful to the society, and anyone checking out from the project is to be treated as any other law abiding citizen, and guaranteed to find a future within the Scandinavian Federation. Failure to do so is reason enough for a trip to the camp.

A prison term for type A criminals are down to one month. Type B needs to be hooked on the chemical compund, and stays for 6 months. The longer, magical treatment tends to last one full year. Needless to say, repeat offenders are very rare, and the prisons have a quick change of inmates.

The above ground facilities are separated from the prison itself, and is partially open to the public. Visitors need only provide a visa issued by the Military Police Administration, and a date and time of the visit. Tourguides will then meet them, and show them the above ground facilities. The tour ends with a virtual visit in the compound, using the monitoring system to show how it looks below ground. No visitor is allowed below ground level.

The facility receives many foreign visitors as well, and the system will be spread over the world before long.

Prisoner Type A:
Security class A means they are basically harmless, just misunderstood and easily corrected. Prisonterms are short, and the reeducation process is simple.

Prisoner Type B:
Security class B means they are dangerous to society, but not violent. Special dissidents are kept here, and certain criminals with special types of crimes, like cyberspace criminals, are kept here. Longer prisonterms, and more involved reeducation process is due, including chemical incentive as well as the regular electronic loyalty collar.

Prisoner Type C:
Security class C means that extremely dangerous dissidents are kept here, as well as the toughest criminals, and those with cyber or bioware enhancements. Magically active criminals are forcibly restrained with mage mask technology, and Cyberware blockers is used on the cyberware capable prisoners. Very long prison terms leads to this level. Magical reeducation techniques are used as well as chemical and electronic. This process is delicate in nature, and takes some time.

Security levels:
The security levels are full of detection devices and constructed to limit any prison uprisings. To enter a Security classed level, you have to exit from the elevators, and go through a long series of detectors and disinfectant showers, all the time heavily protcted by heavilly armed combat drones. Passing through the detectors you take the next elevator up or down into the new level. Upgoing and downgoing trafic never meets.
