  • Norway does not believe in cruel or unusual punishment. I think many of us have seen the clip from Michael Moore’s doc Where to Invade Next?. Give him the maximum sentence (20 years) or close to it in Ringerike.

    But…

    “Penalties in society” means the offender will serve at least some of their time out of jail and will have to meet with an official a specified number of times as ordered by the court. In return, individuals can stay out of prison if they follow the court’s rules. In most cases, criminals retain their current employment, or the court orders employment, and they may remain with their families and continue their normal life. Penalties in society are only imposed if there is no burden on the victims, their families, or society.
