In this episode, we explore what makes Norway’s prisons the most humane, and innovative in the world, how Norway went from a nation of pillaging Vikings full of violence, murder and revenge to a country where peace and forgiveness came to triumph, how we, as a society, reconcile the need for retribution and punishment for heinous crimes and the need for the reintegration of criminals back into society and much, much more.


We cover some of the following topics questions:

  • What makes Norway’s prisons the most humane, and in my view, the most innovative prisons systems in the world,
  • How Norway went from a nation of pillaging Vikings full of violence, murder, and revenge to a country where peace and forgiveness came to triumph,
  • How Norwegian prisons differ from the rest of the world and their U.S. counterparts and what they are doing that others are not,
  • Why the U.S., despite being real “tough” on crime and punishment, has one of the highest recidivism and crime rates in the world and Norway one of the lowest,
  • If there’s something special about Norwegian people, their culture or socialization that makes them susceptible to rehabilitation,
  • How Norway’s prisons were plagued by violence and drugs 30 years ago, similar to their American counterparts,
  • If Norway's maximum prison sentence of 21 years is enough for the most violent crimes,
  • If it’s really true, what many foreign news reports claim, that Norway's Halden maximum prison, is a posh, luxurious boutique hotel, where inmates have their own flat-screen TVs and why that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things,
  • Explore the Bastøy prison island, where inmates have heated floors, a sauna and five-star cooking classes, and what that’s all about,
  • How we, as a society, reconcile the need for retribution and punishment for heinous crimes and the need for the reintegration of criminals back into society,
  • and finally, we see if my interview partner, Tom Eberhardt, really looks like the Norwegian Kevin Costner, as the international press claims.
