“We have seen that there is a need to make changes,” Justice Minister Astri Aas-Hansen (Ap) told news. The Government believes that new measures are needed to protect society from prisoners who are on their way back in society. Specifically, they are now working on two different tracks: a bill that the prisoners should use foot links on leave and probation. Investigating how the risk assessments of the prisoners can make safer. -This is important to go into to make Norway even safer, says Aas-Hansen. 21 Sentenced to custody twice The most important goal of custody is to protect society from people who are able to commit new, serious crime. At the same time, it is a goal that the prisoners should return to society when they no longer pose any danger to others. Figures news has collected shows that 21 men have been sentenced to custody twice. After the first time they released, they committed serious criminal offenses again. Pål Olsen is one of 21 men in Norway who has been sentenced to custody twice in Norway.

In his second custody judgment, he was convicted of serious rape, three cases of abuse in close relationships and several other offenses. He himself refuses to have done any of those he was convicted of. The case is appealed to the Supreme Court. – No exact science A risk assessment is central when deciding whether a detainee should be released. Then, among other things, professionals are inside and consider whether there is a risk that the convicted person will commit new, serious crime. – There is no exact science, says the Minister of Justice. Justice Minister Astri Aas-Hansen (Ap) took over the ministerial role after Emilie Enger Mehl (Sp) in February this year. Photo: Alf Simensen / news Aas-Hansen believes that a review is needed to see if today’s risk assessment can be done better. – What should we do when it is difficult to see how a person who is used to a very tight framework inside the prison will actually be able to do with much looser framework, as it will be on a leave or a probation? she asks. Want a new system Frp leader Sylvi Listhaug tells news that foot links for detainees under leave and probation should have been introduced for the longest time. She also supports Aps’s proposal for a review of today’s risk assessments. At the same time, Listhaug asks the government to make sure that all the warning lights are flashing with the police if previously prisoners are re -notified. Cases where prisoners are re-reported must be given the top priority by the police, says Frp leader Sylvi Listhaug. Photo: Ismail Burak Akkan / news-I think it is absolutely necessary that those cases get top prioritized. So that, as in the “Trailer man”, you can see that a man can ravage for years before grabbing it, says Listhaug. The same requires the Center Party and Justice Policy Spokesman Sandra Borch. – I believe that the Minister of Justice must instruct the police to have a system that has control over the dangerous criminals, who have a great danger of repetition, and not least possibly it has new reviews, says Borch. – If a prison convicted is re -reported, then it must be captured by the police, the Minister of Justice replies. Suggested after Millehaugen-Rømming The idea that the prisoners should go with foot links on leave and probation is by no means new. In 2021, it was recommended by the Directorate of Prison and Probation (KDI). The following year, the murdered Stig Millehaugen escaped during a leave from Trondheim prison. Shortly after Millehaugen’s escape, the Progress Party (Frp) and the Right came on the field. Frp later presented a proposal in the Storting, which was adopted by a clear majority. Since then, little has happened. Before now, after the prisoners’ leave terms were once again actualized in a case with Millehaugen. Metkel Betew was found killed in the Godliaskogen at Oppsal in Oslo Cutting Thursday. Killed and now murdered Stig Millehaugen refuses to have anything to do with the murder. Photo: news/NTB The murder of Nokas-Raner Metkel Betew happened at the same time as the prison convicted Millehaugen had leave from prison. He is charged with murder or complicity in murder, but refuses to have anything to do with it. Astri Aas-Hansen says that the Ministry of Justice has been working on the foot link problem since she became minister in February this year. – This is a high priority, assures the Minister of Justice, who will not stagger when a final bill is in place.
