Normalisation in Nordic Prisons—From a Prison Governor’s Perspective

Abstract

The concept of normalisation—or normality—has been used to an ever-increasing extent in prisons policies since the 1970s in the Nordic countries, and gradually also in many other countries. It is not an unambiguous concept. In this article, I will offer my proposal for a common Nordic definition of the concept based on relevant Nordic sources of law. My approach to this subject is characterised by practical experience from my position as Prison Governor combined with my ongoing theoretical work with prisons.
