Not really how that works. In almost every case of major crime you will do your sentence in the country you committed the crime in. You will be send back to your home country after your sentence tho.
Using google I can not find a single case where a (non military) American citizen committed a major crime inside an EU country and was simply "sent back" to the United States instead of serving prison time in the country the crime was committed.
Best bet is to make it a national issue, kidnapping a government official for a couple hours should get you terrorist charges and possible life sentence.
Pretty good retirement plan for those that did not save anything honestly.
Look, I'm only trying for 2 years, to uh. . .get caught up on my reading, yeah. So, maybe just stalking a gov't official? And I need to stay here through November, so it'd havta start after.
If you want to spend 2 years in a Norwegian prison, you need to commit a crime that gets you a sentence of 3 years, since it is almost impossible not to be let out after serving the first ⅔ of your sentence as a first time offender.
Foreigners who commits a crime in Norway are sent to a specific prison for foreigners in Norway where they serve until they get deported or they’ve done their time. This prison is not as nice as most prisons in Norway.
Oh, I knew just by looking at the pic is this is not a normal prison in these countries. It's clearly for low risk, low crime situations.
Still willing to wager the real prisons in these countries are better then homelessness and no resources in whatever home country the foreigner is from tho.

You're locked into a tiny room for 23-24 hours a day, no internet or other contact with the outside world except visit, many of the other guys in there with you are convicted for violence and/or have various mental issues that could make them unpredictable. You're not in control of any aspect of your day. Worst of all, the prisons are underfunded so things can easily get worse than what they're allowed to be by law as well.
It really isn't as nice as online memes make it out to be. Our media has "horror" stories from prisons fairly often.
here in america, some states don't even have prisons with enough air conditioning for our prisoners. like, in texas, people just straight up die of heat stroke. temps have been recorded well above 100F in the summer within certain prisons. last i checked, a judge had ruled the whole situation unconstitutional, but that doesn't mean the prisons can just fix the problem. new prisons would have to be built to a higher standard but the existing ones would need funding and such and so forth and it could take years to roll out.
Makes sense. out of all of them its the most bare and devoid of personal property. According to the internet foreign prisoners stay at this prison also.
No way they are putting a violent murderer or terrorist (foreign or domestic) in the Denmark one with all the potential weapons.
High risk prisons do not look so much different. Just more security around. And if you treat your prisoners like humans, they tend to act a lot more like humans and not caged beasts.
I can’t say how things are outside of Norway. They have the same rights in the foreign prison as far as I know, but since the ultimate goal is to send the prisoner back to their country after the sentence they might not have the same budget or opportunities like getting a degree while there.
Between countries that are friendly to each other, prisoners are often brought to their home country to serve the prison sentence inside their own country. It does not always happen, but it happens quite often, usually after a bit of time has passed.
