Answer 2

Open prisons, also known as minimum-security or "residential" prisons, allow inmates a greater degree of freedom and responsibility compared to traditional prisons. Inmates may be able to leave the prison during the day for work, education, or other pre-approved activities, but they must return to the prison at night. However, open prisons still have rules and supervision, and inmates may be required to wear electronic monitoring devices or be subjected to regular checks to ensure compliance with their conditions. The aim is to facilitate rehabilitation, reintegration, and reduce the risk of reoffending.
