I don't want to insult your country or system but I can't really wrap my head around your Justice system. I read many articles and one said "Norwegian prisons aren't place for further punishment. Freedom taken in ONLY punishment." I wonder how is it fair or just to victims? A man raped and murders innocent woman. Another one kidnapped a 10 year old boy for ransom and still killed him after random was paid. Or another man murdered a minority for nothing but racism, all those people had everything taken from them. Their LIFE! Everything they had and everything they were gonna have. How is like 12 years in pretty comfy "prison" proportionate in any way to what happened to victims? How is it fair victims lost everything while a perpetrator only few years of freedom? 1

The "justice" system is not designed to bring justice (which is subjective anyway). It's designed to optimize resource efficiency. If you spend a bunch of cash to feed/educate someone, then jail them for life you are wasting money. If you try to rehabilitate instead it is more efficient.

But yeah, you have to find a point were the common man doesn't riot over perceived injustices.

When you ask the question, "why does the justice system look this way" the answer is always; "because people in power benefit from it".
