| On December 12, 2019, Queen Sonja of Norway visited Bredtveit Women’s Prison and Detention Center in Oslo. The prison is one of four prisons in Norway with only female prisoners. Bredtveit prison is located in the Bjerke district of Groruddalen in Oslo. During Queen Sonja's first visit to Bredtveit women's prison, she met with the prison's management, staff and some of the inmates. |
| In the prison, the inmates receive training, have a normal working day and contact with other inmates. In the prison, there is also a hairdressing salon, Cup'n Cut, run by inmates. The prison also works closely with the NAV and schools to make the transition to life after imprisonment easier. |
| Last week, on December 5, Queen Sonja attended "Queen of Spades" at the New York Metropolitan Opera. Queen Sonja met with Norwegian opera singer Lise Davidsen after her performance to congratulate her. In the evening, the Queen attended an event hosted by the Royal Norwegian Conculate in New York, which marked Lise Davidsen's Metropolitan opera debut. |
| In 2015, Lise Davidsen won the Queen Sonja International Music Competition. |
That seems to be a very good prison with the opportunity of training for the inmates. Great, that Queen Sonja supports it. The photo of her and the nice young lady in the hairdressing salon is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteToujours magnifique la reine Sonja... Beaucoup de chance pour la formation de toutes ces détenues... Intéressante la sixième photo ; peut-être que la reine a pris rendez-vous avec la jeune femme en vue de la création d'une toilette Ah ah ?!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely as always.
ReplyDeleteA marvellous initiative within the prison system, a wonderful way for the inmates to turn their life around and break the cycle. The Queen is doing a excellent job supporting them by her visit. This is terrific to see, prison reform. She would have raised their spirits and hopefully influenced them to keep up the challenge. She looks sensational.
ReplyDeleteFinally Pictures from The Queen visiting New York last week. I cant see much of her black outfit, but she looks nice. The black and white outfit is elegant. She is looking amazing. It is difficult to belive her age.
