What should be the appropriate sentence for sex offenders?

Rehabilitation

A LOT more time in prison

Pick one, because most prisons DON’T rehabilitate prisoners into society. Instead, they serve to keep them locked up, which can lead to reoffending.

Anyway, here’s how Norway deals with it:

A quote from the second linked article that explains the rational behind Norway’s prison system:

In closed prisons we keep them locked up for some years and then let them back out, not having had any real responsibility for working or cooking. In the law, being sent to prison is nothing to do with putting you in a terrible prison to make you suffer. The punishment is that you lose your freedom. If we treat people like animals when they are in prison they are likely to behave like animals. Here we pay attention to you as human beings.
