Sebastien Van Malleghem, a Belgian photographer, may have some insight. In 2011, Van Malleghem was in Molenbeek, at the start of a four-year project on law and order in his native country. “I was following police officers in what is called Brussels West, a part of the capital that is considered, by authorities, as a hotspot,” he tells TIME. “The crime rate there tends to be higher than in other neighborhoods

Photographer Sebastian Van Malleghem’s personal journey through Scandinavia

Sebastien Van Malleghem’s forthcoming book, ‘Nordic Noir’ is the result of a five-year odyssey traveling through Scandinavia. Van Malleghem’s work has always examined the darker edges of life. He has photographed the war-torn streets of Libya, plummeted into the seedy underbelly of Berlin and examined the world of embalmers and morgues in Mexico, just to name a few of his projects. But in 2012, on the heels of returning from a post-Gaddafi Libya, Van Malleghem found himself on an island in Norway, trying to get away from that darkness and find a simpler form of photography. Thus began his obsessive love affair with Scandinavia which is culminating in the publication of his book.

Fleeing the Darkness, a Photographer Took to the Nordic Road

Sebastien Van Malleghem’s photographs can tend to have a darkness to them. In recent years, the Belgium photojournalist has documented his country’s prisons and its police force. In Mexico City, he spent time following embalmers, as they juggled dozens of bodies each day. And in Northern France, he followed the work of a group of doctors and educators treating alcohol and drug addicts.

Life on the Inside: A Look Into Belgium’s Prisons – Photographs and text by Sébastien Van Malleghem | LensCulture
Dramatic, yet also intimate, black-and-white images capture daily life within prisons scattered throughout Belgium, challenging us to consider how we treat the wayward members of our society

From 2011 to 2014, I began taking pictures inside the walls of Belgian prisons. From Wallonia to Flanders, with several stops in Brussels, I sought to present a complete picture of a system ruled by the authorities and the criminals. I met with guards, young, nervous inmates, mentally ill prisoners, old bosses, foreigners, women, children, families, directors, and calm, long-term detainees.
