First i've heard of this ... but this development in Austria is actually a prison complex.
The photographs show the Justice and Detention Centre in Leoben, Austria. The building was completed in 2005 and comprises court facilities as well as a penitentiary. Modern architecture website MIMOA notes:
Architect Josef Hohensinn did not find it all that far-fetched to take home comfort into consideration in his penitentiary design for the new Justice and Detention Centre in Leoben. Façades, layout of spaces, art concept - everything meets the highest Austrian standards.
"Lucky" Austrian prisoners enjoy not only clean and modern accommodation but can also move freely among their cells and the communal spaces in their designated areas. There are also outdoor courtyards where inmates can walk and sit in the fresh air.

So crime does pay.
I thought going to prison was a punishment?

Yes, but you could leave pretty much whenever you wanted.
The facilities in a gaol don't need to be bad to make it a punishment. The other prisoners, and the not having your freedom are enough.

This isn't the first of its type I've heard of in that part of Europe. They seem to focus on rehabilitation rather than retribution.

Exactly, and from what I've heard - the rates of rehabilitation in these spiffy prisons are a lot higher than your traditional hell holes.
