Halfway houses in the Norwegian penitentiary system — normative-practical aspects

Summary/Abstract: Halfway houses in the Norwegian penitentiary system have been operating forover twenty years. In recent years, this type of solution has become popular in Bulgaria,the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Lithuania, and Poland, thanks to EEA grants. Bearing in mind the diff erent legal, social and cultural orders of the indicated countries,the need for optimizing the process of social support for people leaving penitentiaryunits necessitates educating them about the conditions for the functioning of Norwegianhalfway houses. This will avoid possible adaptation and implementation problems increating analogous solutions in Poland.The study raises the issue of the location of transitional houses, the procedures forqualifying and directing convicts to this type of institution, organization and functioning,as well as the procedures of conduct in Norwegian halfway houses. The raised issues arepart of the scientifi c discourse on the need to conduct research on the eff ectiveness of theprocess of implementing halfway houses to Polish legal and social conditions.
