Makes me want to go to Norway and commit a crime

[Vigilanteman]

This works in Norway only because the jailbirds are carefully pre-screened for suitability to this type of system and, I'd be willing to bet, are a fairly homogeneous group.

The Cherokee of Sequoyah's era were such an orderly society that even a criminal sentenced to execution would be allowed to go home, bid his family goodbye and settle his worldly affairs before reporting to his date with the hangman.

Diversity isn't always strength.
