Norway is often seen as a leading example of a rehabilitative approach to imprisonment. In Norwegian prisons, the focus is on rehabilitation rather than punishment, aiming to prepare inmates for their return to society. The prison system places a strong emphasis on education and therapy to address the root causes of criminal behaviour. Unlike the traditional approach found in countries like the US and the UK, Norway’s prison population is smaller and its recidivism rates are significantly lower.
