Actually, Norway's criminal deterrence system is quite interesting. Growing up in the United States or Europe, we're used to deterring criminals through punishment.
In Norway, however, they deter crime through rehabilitation. Ironically, they have a significantly lower prisoner-citizen ratio.

I actually like the idea, it seems a bit utopian - but it has worked for them.

Really I find this odd. I do not like the idea one bit. Why live like a king when you killed someone? Does not make sense at all. If you kill you do not deserve to be treated like royalty.

I agree with you - the idea shouldn't be to try and make them civilized again and come back into the real world, they should be made to feel like shit. Just like the family of those 77 children that died must be feeling.
