Open Prisons

I'm not sure if anyone has had experience of one, or just know about them, but what do they mean by 'open'

[Rockrose]

Less security for lower level offenders for example those that are a low risk to the public.

I think no high walls or cells. The inmates might be coming to the end of longer sentences or be prisoners who are not considered likely to abscond.

Prisoners often have work outside the prison and released on trust to return each evening.
