There are currently 43 prisons in Norway, five of which are strictly female, and all prisons are driven by the “import model”, the import model means services are given to inmates just as they are given to those not incarcerated i.e., health services, education, access to library, etc. The longest sentence allowed in a Norwegian prison is 21 years, although the new penal code allows for a 30-year maximum sentence for crimes related to genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes. While the average sentence is about 8 months long.
