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?

jr1wbm0Define justice.
People are not inherently evil. People commit crimes because society fails them. It doesn't matter if people are not actually mentally ill but people who are entirely right in the head don't commit crime. Do you think putting these people in bad conditions for a long period of time will help the situation? The point is to put them away from society until they can be helped enough not to commit crimes again. It's even called "kriminalvården" (criminal care) in Sweden.
It's not about justice it's about pragmaticism and doing what's best for society.

jr27vldI agree. Many people are not inherently evil. They need help. But at the same time, exceptions should be made for psychopaths who lack empathy. They should be in harshest prisons. But I agree. Most need to be helped.
