· Blog update
You can now read and share the stories in English, download records-access templates, work on an appeal and contribute art or music. Here is what is new at Stemmen fra innsiden – and how you can use it.
Stories that can reach more languages
The blog has a full English version. Choose 🇬🇧 English from the language menu and share the English link. The reading pages offer 15 language choices: Norwegian, English and 13 languages through automatic Google translation.
The appeal helper and contributions space have their own Norwegian and English pages. Case information entered in the appeal helper is not sent for translation.
Four records-access templates to download and use
Request your own case documents and personal information, records in Infoflyt or public documents. A separate template helps you follow up unanswered requests, incomplete disclosure or refusals.
All four templates are available in Norwegian and English as PDF, Word and text files. Together with the guidance, there are 28 files to download. Complete and adapt your request, then send it to the appropriate unit of the Norwegian Correctional Service.
Help reviewing a decision and drafting an appeal
The appeal helper uses fixed search rules to find passages, dates and legal references in decision text. Create a short preliminary appeal or a fuller draft, edit it, then download it as text or print it to PDF.
The work stays in your browser tab. This is not an AI lawyer or an assessment of whether a decision is lawful. You enter and check the deadline yourself. A draft cannot guarantee that your right to appeal is preserved: the appeal must meet the applicable requirements and reach the correct recipient by the deadline. The website does not submit it for you.
Two chapters from a book awaiting publication
Chapters 9, 10 and 11 offer a preview of my book, Fengslene vest for loven … og alle andre himmelretninger. The manuscript is with Kagge Forlag for consideration.
My challenge to Kagge remains: Is this a story too difficult to publish – or is what it brings to light precisely why it needs to be told? Read the chapters and share them if you believe the story deserves a wider audience.
A new space for contributions: Created from within
Turn a text into an image or a chapter into a song. Submit original, AI-assisted or AI-generated art and music, and explain how you made it. Images can be up to 8 MB and audio files up to 25 MB.
Sign in with ChatGPT, choose your own name or an artist name, and add a link to your social profile. You can also prove control of an X, TikTok or Bluesky profile through a public verification post. This is optional and verifies account control, not legal identity.
A designated editor reviews submissions before publication. Approved contributions receive creator credit, their own shareable link, likes and share counts. Music can be played in the gallery and alongside the text that inspired it: the main article, chapter 9 or chapter 10.
You keep your rights and must have permission to use the material you submit. Use of a contribution in the project's own promotional posts requires separate, optional consent and must include credit.
Public totals for visits and sharing
Everyone can see aggregate page views, visits and share actions, with recorded traffic and sharing broken down by channel. Visits are browser tab sessions, not a verified count of individual people. Share counts measure use of sharing features, not confirmed social media posts.
The same distinction applies to share counts on art and music. Likes on contributions are linked to signed-in accounts. Public visitor statistics show aggregate figures only.
