Norway's incarceration system is a little different from the US. Its incarceration system focuses more on rehabilitation and reintegration than on punishment and discipline. Individuals may not be sentenced more than 25 years including murder. This may sound like a recipe for disaster but out of 218 countries, Norway had the 12th lowest homicide rate (0.6) while the US was in 108th place (3.9) with more than six times the murder rate of Norway.

Norway also imprisoned 70 out of 100,000 while the US did 693.
