Unconditional imprisonment

Unconditional imprisonment means that the sentence must be served, under supervision of the Norwegian Correctional Service, with possible reductions for time spent in custody before trial. As a principal rule, the Act relating to the execution of sentences allows for granting parole after two thirds of the sentence being served. The Correctional Service may determine whether the sentence is to be served fully or partially outside of prison institutions (see ssb.no/en/fengsling).
