True Greenland

Some prisoners in Greenland are allowed to keep their cell keys.

Infact verdict: True (88/100).

The claim that some prisoners in Greenland are allowed to keep their cell keys is supported by multiple sources. Evidence from a medium-reliability source, HuffPost, and a high-reliability source, BBC World Service, confirms that in certain facilities, such as in Nuuk, inmates are indeed allowed to hold keys to their own cells as part of a broader approach to afford them privacy. This practice is part of Greenland's unique prison system, which grants inmates significant liberties. However, it is not clear if this policy is universal across all prisons in Greenland or subject to specific conditions.
