25-618: The Oostereiland as well as its companion the Visserseiland were planned and constructed in order to increased the harbor's capacity in the port city of Hoorn (then one of the most important cities of the Dutch East India Company as well as the Dutch West India Company ). 1655 is often given as a starting date for the construction, but without much evidence. The island, plans for which existed in

75-479: A U-shaped complex built, with warehouses on the north and west side, and two homes on the east side--the larger for him to live in, the shorter to rent out. The city was responsible for building a street around the complex. The aforementioned painting by Rietschoof shows the complex, and until the end of the 18th century the island was known as "Schuijtes Eyland". The buildings are still there, with only minor changes. In 1670, two merchants were given permission to operate

100-580: A ferry between Hoorn and the French port cities of Rouen and Saint-Valery-en-Caux from next to the warehouses; the city again dredged the harbor and improved the quay for the ferries. More large-scale development came courtesy of the Admiralty, which had shown interest in developing the island as a naval base and the Grashaven as its port. This did not come to fruition, but when in 1692 its warehouse on

125-536: A fixed bridge was installed, which was renovated in 1976, and in 2010 it was scheduled for replacement. Bridges of various kinds existed between the Oostereiland and De Haai (the extension of the Visserseiland), but the last one was removed likely between 1812 and 1823, and never replaced. Quays on the island were originally made of wood; one section was covered with compressed seaweed. On the north side, by

150-410: A lighthouse that indicates the entrance to the harbor. The original light was built in 1660, and torn down in 1968; a replica was placed there a few years after. By 1995, plans for large-scale development of the island (including the construction of 152 homes and a 15-storey apartment building) had been developed. These were not executed. Along the path that leads to the lighthouse, the city installed

175-427: A low risk to the public. In Indonesia, open prisons have been used to substitute immigrant detention centers and closed prison incarceration. This change has been helpful in creating a humane environment for immigrants that is less confining than incarceration and detention centers. These open prisons tend to do a better job at providing basic needs and creating better conditions than detention centers. The assistance of

200-597: A movie theater, offices, apparements, and a hotel. There are also historic vessels, part of the outdoor exhibit of the Westfries Museum .

225-516: A series of sculptures. In 2021, the newly placed statue "The bleeding Madonna" was removed after only two days, following threats of vandalism on social media. The sculpture was moved to a less public location, a courtyard on the Roode Steen .

250-702: Is a man-made peninsula in the harbor of the Dutch city Hoorn . It was constructed in the 17th century; formerly called Westereiland ("western island"), with the Oostereiland ("eastern island") across from the harbor, it created extra docking capacity and separated the Grashaven from the Zuiderzee . By the mid-17th century, toward the end of the Dutch Golden Age , the port city of Hoorn required more space for ships to dock. The dike which later grew into

275-511: Is any jail in which the prisoners are trusted to complete sentences with minimal supervision and perimeter security and are often not locked up in their prison cells. Prisoners may be permitted to take up employment while serving their sentence. This provides an opportunity for criminals to reintegrate into society and withdraw from criminal behavior. Without the constraints and stresses of typical incarcerations, criminals can discover more positive lifestyles through support and light supervision from

300-720: The Irish Prison Service not just to transfer prisoners suitable for open conditions, but also to reduce overcrowding in closed prisons. The idea of open prisons is to rehabilitate prisoners rather than to punish them. In Germany the "Offener Vollzug" is part of the rehabilitation process for about 16% of prisoners. Trumble, a fictional open prison in Florida , is the major setting for John Grisham's novel The Brethren . Andvig, E., Koffeld-Hamidane, S., Ausland, L. H., & Karlsson, B. (2021). Inmates’ perceptions and experiences of how they were prepared for release from

325-532: The Visserseiland , on the other side of the Hoorn harbor, extensive city development was once planned but never executed. The island and its quays are municipal monuments ; the prison buildings are a rijksmonument . After renovation (and lengthy discussions over the future of the island and the role of the city in its development), the prison complex reopened in 2012, and now houses the Museum van de Twintigste Eeuw ,

350-601: The Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen . Two trywork for boiling whale blubber existed on the island before 1660; they were torn down in the 18th century. Another was on De Haai, now part of the Visserseiland, and was built in 1662. A municipal requirement noted that no blubber was to be boiled on days that the wind blew into the city, given the enormous stench associated with the process. Between 1681 and 1739

375-566: The 1640s already, was built using mud dredged from the harbor (actually two, the Oosterhaven and the Westerhaven, which were deepened in the 1640-50s. According to C.P. Schrickx and D.M. Duijn, lead authors of a 2010 report based on an archaeological study done the year before, estimate that the island was built between 1650 and 1654; a document from 1655 indicates that by that time the Oostereiland existed. After further dredging in 1667 in

400-516: The Baadland burned down (to the east of the central Hoorn harbor), it bought the two homes and the warehouse on the west side, and in 1699 it also bought the warehouse on the north side. The Magazijn, as the complex was named, was a favorite topic for painters. During the " French period " the Magazijn may have been a military prison. The island's wharf was closed in 1817. The complex of warehouses

425-539: The International Organization of Migration contributed to Indonesia's government efforts to create alternative systems to detention. In 2018, refugees and asylum seekers no longer housed in immigration detention centers, and open prisons became one of trial substitutes for immigrants. Entry into open prisons may be dependent upon agreements to follow Indonesia law, consistently report to local authorities, and adhere to discretionary rules while being in

450-439: The Oosterhaven and the Grashaven (between Oostereiland and Visserseiland), the land was raised by about 70 cm, and again in 1742. A double-beam drawbridge between the Oostereiland and Achter op 't Zand (a street built on mud dredged from the harbors in 1648) was renovated in 1686; it is visible in a painting by Jan Claesz Rietschoof from 1708-11. It was replaced by a single drawbridge in 1711, and that one again in 1764. In 1889

475-485: The Visserseiland was constructed in 1662. At first called Westereiland, it became a settlement for fisherman who made their living on the Zuiderzee, and that gave it its current name. The first commercial business buildings are already depicted in a 1675 painting by Matthias Withoos . Two wind-powered sawmills were on the island at the end of the 19th century: "De Halm" and "De Rob". De Halm burned down in 1904, and De Rob

500-454: The country. The idea of an open prison is often criticized by members of the public and politicians, despite its success towards rehabilitation compared to older, more draconian methods. Prisoners in open jails do not have complete freedom and are only allowed to leave the premises for specific purposes, such as going to an outside job. In Ireland, there has been controversy about the level of escape from open prisons, attributed to their use by

525-536: The criminal justice system. Open prisons provide the opportunity for prisoners to increase their mental health and opportunity for employment. Some scholars have pointed out that new forms of “pains of imprisonment” can arise within open prisons, due to the stresses of “liberty under constraint.” In the UK, open prisons are often part of a rehabilitation plan for prisoners moved from closed prisons . They may be designated "training prisons" and are only for prisoners considered

550-548: The warehouse of the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier , a quay made of stone was constructed. A tannery existed on the island by 1657 (the first attested building on the island), and another one was built after 1691. There were none mentioned on the island in a land registry from 1733, but there were a few later in the 18th and in the 19th century. The last tannery on the island was deconstructed in 1968, and put up at

575-538: The whaling industry in Hoorn practically disappeared, and afterward whalers who returned to Hoorn with their catch had the blubber boiled in Edam . The only tangible item remaining from the whaling industry is a whale vertebra, scored by an axe, that was fished out of the IJsselmeer in 1997. The first major development was a set of warehouses for a merchant, Cornelis Jansz Schuijt (ca. 1620-1677). In 1658 or 1659, he had

600-405: Was torn down in 1924. The island also had a tannery (which treated cotton fishing nets) and smokehouses ; the tannery was moved to the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen in 1980. On the island's south side was a bathhouse between 1882 and 1918, the predecessor of the later "Witte Badhuis", or "white bathhouse". Along the dike a number of sculptures were placed in the 20th century, and it ends with

625-452: Was turned into housing for the unhoused, and between 1829 and 2003 it served as a prison; by the 1980s it was a semi-open prison . In 2008, performance artist Chiara Fumai spent 31 days in a cell there as part of an art project. Between 1886 and 1932 it also served as an work center for prisoners and unemployed people; they sorted currants , which led to the complex being called the "Krententuin" ("currant yard"). The Oostereiland as well as
