A Brief History of Confinement
Now, before we dive into the nitty-gritty of prison life (don't worry, it's not as grim as it sounds), let's take a quick trip down memory lane.

Thankfully, things have slightly improved since then.

Portland: More Than Just Rocks
You might be thinking, "Portland? Isn't that where they get all those fancy rocks from?" Well, yes, it is. But it's also home to a prison. Who knew, right? So, while the inmates aren't exactly chiseling out sculptures, they do get to enjoy the stunning coastal views (from behind bars, of course).
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
What's It Like Inside?
Let's be honest, prison isn't exactly a five-star resort. But Portland Prison seems to be making an effort. They offer various activities to keep the inmates occupied, like education programs, vocational training, and even some sports. It's all about rehabilitation, people! Although, we're not sure how much knitting and pottery classes are going to help someone who's done time for armed robbery.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
