Norway and Sweden have cold winters and warm prisons. It is somewhat common for clever bums to commit crimes (theft, burglary) in the fall that they know will give them a 4-6 month prison sentence. This is perfect timing to get to spend the winter in a warm prison with hot showers and a gym, and then get released just in time when the weather is good enough to sleep outdoors again.
