GERMANY:Like many pensioners, Karl-Heinz's days look the same. The 66-year-old gets up about 8am and, if the weather is nice, he goes for a walk outside.
He lives in the town of Singen, in southern Germany, in a turquoise-coloured 1930s building with flower-lined window sills and a pond full of goldfish.
Only the 5m (16ft) wall around the building betrays the fact that Karl-Heinz lives in prison, a prison solely for pensioners. Like the rest of society, Germany's criminals are going grey. In 2005, German prisons had 1,500 inmates aged over 60 years, a threefold increase in the last decade and the largest rise in any age group.
As every third German will be 60 or older by 2050, it's certain that demand for pensioner prisons is going to rise, particularly for the rising number of pensioners determined to grow old disgracefully.
Last year, newspapers ran pictures of an old lady in a fur hat and sunglasses who robbed three Düsseldorf banks, waving a pistol at cashiers. In 2005, the notorious "Grandpa Gang" - a trio of pensioners aged between 64 and 74 - were found guilty of robbing 14 banks over 16 years and sentenced to a total of 31 years in jail.
Karl-Heinz is serving nine years for manslaughter. His victim was his neighbour, a man who harrassed Karl-Heinz's wife to the point where she didn't leave the house any more. "So I shot him," he says.
Singen opened its doors to pensioners in 1970. The building is the only prison of its kind in Europe, although at least three other pensioner prisons are currently being built in Germany.
"Breakout attempts are very rare," says Peter Rennhak, superintendent in Singen. Most people here know what the consequences would be: reassignment to a regular prison," he adds.
The prison is home to 50 inmates aged from 58 to 80, serving time for everything from tax fraud to sex crimes; only a third are in prison for the first time.
They lead a relaxed life, only restricted to their rooms from 10pm to 7am, when the inmate himself decides if he wants his door locked.
Every month inmates are allowed six hours of visits, two walking tours, one swimming and one shopping trip. The biggest bonus of living in Singen, inmates say, is being able to move about freely until 8pm in a courtyard the size of a football field.
Edmund is a small, fit man and only the streaks of grey in his blonde hair betray his 67 years.
The engineer is in prison for large-scale tax fraud and says he wants to go back to work - honest work - when he leaves prison in three years' time. He exercises every day in the weights room.
