Briefings

A researcher argues that Norway is shifting focus away from health-promencing imprisonment toward other developments. The article notes that current Norwegian prison research has historically prioritized pain, isolation, and harm, but lacks the specific interventions needed to foster personal growth and hope. This represents a significant strategic pivot in how the country approaches prison reform.

Key points

• Norwegian prison research has historically focused on the negative impacts of imprisonment, isolation, and harm rather than health-promoting interventions.
• The current shift involves deprioritizing established pain-focused research in favor of developing new methods to promote personal growth and hope.

Context and limitations
