AB This study explores challenges senior inmates face in a Norwegian prison and evaluates the “Come and Meet Each Other” (CAMEO) program's effects on their life, focusing on changes in policy and practice to transform inmates’ perceptions of their environment. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including survey and interviews, thematic analysis revealed that CAMEO enhances inmates’ daily lives, dignity, and community integration, promoting a more normal life. Despite positive outcomes, issues persist with drug rehabilitation cohabitation and prison structure. Recommendations include improving facility design, expanding activities, and enhancing staff training. The findings highlight broader issues in correctional settings and suggest areas for further research on recidivism and reintegration.
