Trondheim prison – Leira unit

Trondheim prison – Leira unit

Leira Unit is the low-security section of Trondheim Prison, located just 7 kilometers from downtown Trondheim. It is recognized as one of Norway’s fourteen ‘drug managing units,’ emphasizing drug rehabilitation with two dedicated therapists and a strict drug policy. This focus is aimed at providing people in detention with the support and treatment necessary to overcome addiction and reduce recidivism. The operation of Leira unit is based on the consequence pedagogy. This methodology aims to enhance residents’’ ability to make informed choices, leading to a life free of crime. The entire stay at Leira is aimed at reintegration into society, based on two principles: individuals are responsible for their actions and their consequences, and making the right choices leads to positive outcomes.

about

Unique to Leira Unit is the Leira Gartneri, a garden center on the prison grounds. This center, where both people in detention and community members work, attracts daily visitors from the Trondheim area, many of whom do not know it is related to the prison because it has a separate entrance. Residents work in greenhouses and a store, growing and selling various plants. This integration initiative provides residents with meaningful work and promotes interaction with the community.

Mapped by the RESCALED-movement

Small-scale, differentiated and community-integrated facilities can be found in many European countries. There is not one, but a thousand detention houses. As part of the two-year WISH-EU Project, Prison Insider developed an interactive map that visualizes a database of detention facilities from various European regions. Throughout this European-funded project, we identified and visited over 40 good practices that apply one or more of the following principles: small-scale, differentiation and community-integration. Since then, RESCALED has continued to identify and visit practices whose stories can inspire us to drive systemic change. We have further developed the map to include various filters and detailed reports so you can get to know these inspirational practices!
